Homework for Friday

Righto chaps and chappesses- here's your homework for Friday. Do try to really go in depth on some of these- no answer is straightforward; they do invite analysis and discussion! Feel free to comment on how awesome this homework is- haha!

1.Describe the narrator in detail. What is your first impression of him?

2.What specifically is it about the old man that troubles the narrator? Why does it trouble him?

3.What does the narrator do every night? Why?

4. How does the narrator feel after he commits the murder? Is he worried about being caught?

5.Why does the killer confess?

6.Name 3 details, descriptions, or actions that the author uses to create an atmosphere of horror.

7. Choose a memorable scene from the story (example: the murder scene, the confession scene, etc.) and illustrate it in colour. Give an explanation of the picture - what is happening in this scene? Be as specific as possible. Finally, you must include two kinds of figurative language, which you come up with on your own, to make your description more interesting (choose two: alliteration, onomatopoeia, metaphor, simile, idiom, and personification)
