Analysis of Tell Tale Heart

Throughout the whole story from the beginning the narrator said that he was not crazy and insane, but most likely if a person is really trying to convince somebody that they are not crazy they are actually trying to convince themselves. The narrator says the reason why he felt that he had to kill the old man was because of his evil vulture eye. The eye had a film and was blue causing the narrator to feel like the eye was evil. The narrator again tried to convince us that he was not insane by saying that he spent seven nights carefully watching the old man and each night he did not kill him but on the eighth night he did. If he really was sane I do not think that he would go and kill the old man even waiting seven nights. I would think that only a crazy person would do this and go through all the trouble just to get rid of a evil eye. In the end he says that the heart of the old man is beating. But the old man is dead and he even dissembled the body. If this person was really sane I do not think that he would be able to hear the heartbeat of a dissembled body. I think that hearing the heartbeat was actually a sign of his guilt. The heartbeat could have been his own heart beating and he thought it was the old man's or the heartbeat could even have been his own imagination.

Short Story

Mick and Match drove by the house the third time in thirty minutes making sure nobody was in the house. Also making sure the neighbors was not paying attention. They stopped a bit past the house and parked. They got out and took a look at their surroundings. Then when they were sure nobody was watching they went to the air conditioner in front of the house. They started working as fast as they could and started unscrewing the air conditioner from the ground. After ten minutes they were finished and moved the air conditioner into the truck. A month later Mick and Match were driving by this same house again and saw that there was another air conditioner. So they decided to take this one too. Twenty minutes later they were back with their tools and started working. When they were halfway done somebody across the street suddenly came out. So they hid their stuff behind the air conditioner and got behind a car. Two minutes later that guy got into his car as drove away.  After a couple minutes they got back to work and in five minutes they were done. They did not know if it was because they got better or because they were scared so they worked faster. That night when the owners of the house got back and realized that they had their air conditioner stolen again they made a resolve to have better security. So in two days they got a new air conditioner and a cage. They put the cage around the air conditioner and made sure to secure it to the ground. Then the locked the door up with three different locks. Next they had a guy come in and install a security camera. They were sure that this time they would not get their air conditioner stolen again. They believed that even if the thieves came and saw this they would not go through all the trouble just to steal a air conditioner.
