Would you read a book about a psycho murderer? “He had the eye of a vulture--a pale blue with a film over it… I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever,” the narrator says. A Tell-Tale Heart is an intriguing piece of work. It’s a short story about a person who kills an old man because of his repulsive eye. He ends up going crazy, although I thought he was off all along. Though this is an unusual text, i believe it’s completely appropriate for my age group. Certainly, many would disagree given the details of the story. Granted this story is quite gruesome but it shows readers that every bad choice has its consequence. In the story, the narrator has killed the man and is quite proud of himself.
