Now that you’ve read “the tell-tale heart” by edgar allan poe, explain in a paragraph how the narrator of this short story directly affects the plot. be sure to identify multiple ways he has an impact.

In the short story “The Tell-Tale Heart,” the narrator carries the plot forward. All the events in the plot are either of his own doing or the result of his actions. At the start of the story, in the exposition, both the narrator and the old man are introduced to the reader through what the narrator says. The story starts with the narrator, who claims to be nervous. He then contradicts himself by “calmly” telling his story. There are several such contradictions throughout the story. The narrator claims he is not insane, but his speech and actions indicate otherwise. He claims to have loved the old man and to have been kind to him, but he murders him. His irrational fear of the old man’s “Evil Eye” is what sets the events of the story in motion. He fears and loathes the evil eye, so he decides to get rid of it. In the climax, he kills the old man. After killing the old man, the narrator dismembers him, apparently to separate the identity of the old man from his eye. Later, in the falling action, the narrator feels guilty about killing the old man. His guilt causes him to mistake his own thumping heart for the old man’s beating heart. He gives himself up to the police, providing the denouement. Thus, across all the parts of the plot, the narrator affects the story because he drives the action.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
