“The Tell-Tale Heart”, by Edgar Allan Poe.

Answer after reading the short story:

- Who are/is the character/s?
The main character narrator of the story, the old man who was the victim and the
cops at the end of the tale.

- What is the genre of the short story?

It's a tale of romance that brings horror and suspense.

- Did you like it? Why or why not?

I don't know if I liked it or not. It's a story, hard to read, it has so much cruelty,
wickedness and coldness. I am not used to this type of reading, it is notorious how
much the writer has the gift of holding the reader, his way of writing and detailing
every detail is genius. But the wickedness is so present that it causes fear.

- How can you define/translate the expression “tell-tale”?

I believe that telling something is, passing on what you know of a certain subject.
it's the act of speaking.

- Write a summary of the short story in one sentence (research the vocabulary you
might need and try to use words from the short story):
coldness is human wickedness, coming to make me nauseous. The anonymous
narrator narrated in such detail, with such pride what he did, how he did, extolling
his intelligence in leaving no trace. That's a scary thing.
So I am mad, you say? You should have seen how
careful I was to put the body where no one could find
it. First I cut off the head, then the arms and the legs. I
was careful not to let a single drop of blood fall on the
floor. I pulled up three of the boards that formed the
floor, and put the pieces of the body there. Then I put
the boards down again, carefully, so carefully that no
human eye could see that they had been moved.
(Allan, 1843. p66)

- What did you think of the video adaptation? Did you think it was a good
adaptation of the short story?
The adaptation was incredible, the beats simulating the sound of the old man's
heart that he heard seems so real that I believed he is listening too. The voices in
the narrator's horror adaptation at the end is something that brings the feeling of
being within the story. Great.
