Question

INSTRUCTIONS This draft is stronger. A. Delete extra spaces between paragraphs. Everything should be double-spaced. B. Start each analytical body paragraph with a topic sentence, naming a different excuse used by the narrator. Then the paragraph should be dedicated to pulling apart the narrator's so-called excuse. Here are ideas for further paragraphs on "The Black Cat" -- you may want to discuss some of them in the same paragraph. 1. Show and prove how the anger-filled narrator is manipulating his readers by creating multiple excuses. 2. Try to sequentially discuss his various self-justifications. In one paragraph, talk about alcohol and how the abusive man blames it for making him physically abuse his wife and animals. Obviously, he wants his readers to believe that violence and abuse should be blamed on the madness caused by intoxication. 3. In another paragraph, show how the narrator blames the wife for supposedly making him believe that the black cats are evil witches who bewitch/curse their innocent victims. The narrator plants an idea in his readers' minds that Pluto is a demon who comes from hell to haunt him. 4. In a different paragraph, show how he tortures and eventually kills the cat, etc. He hangs the first cat and murders his wife, by the way, in cold blood (he is not drunk). 5. Then you may develop a paragraph demonstrating how the narrator blames human nature and God who, he says, created it. He talks about each person's inclination to do evil because they just enjoy doing so. He certainly wants his audience to identify with his violent impulses. Even though people may have some violent and aggressive impulses, the readers do not walk around cutting out cats' eyes, hanging cats, murdering their spouses, and then feeling blissfully happy. 6. Then in the following paragraph, show how the narrator boasts about killing his wife and hiding the corpse. Prove that the narrator attributes evil to the black cat and not to his own evil behavior. He even brags about doing evil for evil's sake. 7. Show that the narrator finally feels bizarrely happy after killing the wife. The readers understand that it was never about the cats, rather about getting rid of the wife. The murderer even forgets his initial purpose to fake remorse. At least he was describing his crocodile tears and so-called bitter remorse while hanging Pluto and then claiming that it only looked like remorse but was not remorse. After killing the wife, not even one tear is being shed. He indulges in retelling the story to relive his experience. 8. In the final paragraph on "The Black Cat," on page 4, explain if the narrator may want to subconsciously get caught, despite braggingly knocking on the wall (1/2 page). Personally, I doubt it. I think he just regrets being caught. 9. Now in the middle of page 4, develop 1 analytical body paragraph on "The Tell-Tale Heart." Start the paragraph with 3-4 transitional sentences, leading the reader from your analysis of Tale 1 to the analysis of Tale 2. After several transitional sentences, in the same paragraph, start analyzing the 2nd narrator and integrate a quote from "The Tell-Tale Heart." Need to do in 6 Pages
