Tell - Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe



I chose this picture to represent my favorite scene of the story, where the killer pokes the poor old man's eye out. There is alot of rising action and that is why it is my personal favorite!

Tell - Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe

From the three short clips that I watched the one I liked the most was the third video. I liked this one in particular because the plot was presented in a funny way and it made me understand the story more thoroughly. I also liked it because it was shorter than the other two and it was still detailed and descriptive enough for me to understand what was going on. One thing that I didn't like about it was the fact that the puppet talked to fast, making me have to watch it a couple times to catch some of the phrases I missed the first time. The puppet that was used to represent all the characters in the story seemed to be a hard thing to do since he had to use panic in his voice, then he had to be calm, and then he acted a little bit crazy, and in general I thought that was well done; I enjoyed it more than the other two clips because of the use of the puppet I think. The vocabulary was very simple in comparison with the other two videos but I think that because some people don't understand a play, or a script, when hard words are used this would be the ideal way for them to interpret what is happening in the story better than others, maybe.

Stavros Havadjias

I am a big football fan. The Cypriot team I support is called Anorthosis. They have played matches with many foreign countries and have always managed to do well. Their team colors are blue and white and those are my favorite colors also. One of my relatives was a player on the team and that is how I got interested in watching them play. I myself play football and one day I hope I'm good enough to play on my favorite team!
