The Tell-Tale Heart

             After reading the story of Edgar Allan Poe, many debates happened between classmates of Robert's 8:30 class. Many students think that the killer is not guilty and other think that he's. Some say that he is crazy and that's why he acted like that. Other say that we can accept man like that in today's society. But the big question is: Is the narrator guilty or not?

Everything that he said or wrote down can be prove because he hided the body of the old man under the floor of the house. The fact that he admitted his crime makes him a guilty man.

             the man didn't have to kill him just because he is fear by his eye. The fact that he doesn't like his eye his not a good reason to kill the man. The old man's eye made the killer crazy. The narrator's guilt over killing the old man forces him to believe that he heard the dead man&
