Edger Allen Poe

Out of the three pieces of work the on that I found the most interesting would be the Edger Allen Poe piece, "The Tell-Tale Heart". I felt as if I was in the narrator's mind that all of his crazy rants, were mine also. The progression of the narrator's insanity is my favorite part of the story, it makes you wonder if you are the one going crazy. Poe's style of dark and mysterious, I believe is what appeals to people the most. That's why most of Poe's pieces of work are so popular, readers love the unknown and the suspense. As a reader when I come to the part about the narrator hearing the beating heart, it's as if I can hear the beating heart also. Poe makes the reader feel as if they are in the story that they are one of the characters in the story. The police showing up right after the narrator had finished killing the old man adds to the suspense and appeal.
