    When the narrator in the Black Cat begins his story, he insists upon his sanity, and clarifies to the reader that the sole purpose of the narration is to unburden his soul. As he continues, it becomes evident that his aim is instead focused upon reliving and understanding the murders he committed. Throughout the narrative, the man contextualizes his guilt by denying the agency of his thoughts while claiming ownership of his actions. To begin his story, the man insists, “…mad I am not – and very surely do I not dream” (Poe, 1). In saying this, he acknowledges the insanity of which his story embodies, but holds that they are mere events governed by fact while insisting upon his own standard state of mind.…

    Proof of the Delusive Narrator Few stories possess a certain type of narrator whom the reader cannot truly trust and rely on when it comes to opinionated statements or any other form of information given. And even fewer show this to the extent “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe does. Whether it be his or her mental state or condition, the reader has no dependence on what the text says from the narrator’s point of view. This is called reading from the perspective of an unreliable narrator.…

    The first-person point of view tells the readers only what the doctor is thinking and not how other characters react. When the doctor first sees the child, he states, “The child was fairly eating me up with her cold steady eyes, and no expression to her face whatever.” The child does not seem nice, and the readers do not know who or what could be causing the child this feeling. The mother was nervous about her daughter, so she “moved back and forth behind us raising and lowering her hands in an agony of apprehension.” The readers cannot tell the mother’s mind, so they cannot feel how this doctor is making her think.…

    Essay on “Why Place Matters” In Wilfred M. McClay and Ted V. McAllister’s “Why Place Matters,” they discuss about “place” as an abstract concept that can also be very precise and meaningful. However, due to globalization and digital interactions, place no longer seem to matter in modern society. Individuals are substituting place and physical space with websites and online relations. As a result, people are disconnecting from our physical innate need for thereness. I agree with McClay and McAllister that the lack of physical place can risk losing our ability to associate with others, one’s identity, and public virtues.…

    1. In “The Black Cat,” the narrator says, “There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of man.” The narrator states how his relationships with other people are small and meager. He implies humans are not trustworthy nor are they dependable. In comparison to humans, the author is trying to express how animals are sympathetic creatures who love their owners in an unselfish and self-sacrificing way.…

    Reflection Paper on The Village (2004) In the film, The Village, a primitive society of people is influenced by the legends told by the elders, resulting in their containment within the boundaries of the village. They are held there by their belief in the existence of the creatures said to live just beyond the village in the surrounding woods. This belief system follows many of the claims made by Durkheim, including his views on the presence and power of the supernatural or divine. The Village demonstrates that a community that holds the same beliefs and respect for those beliefs may maintain social stability, though the foundation of their system may be false.…
