Uncategorized Assignment-helpMy Topic Choice: Edgar Allen Poe’s, The Tell-Tale Heart is filled with paranoia and mental deterioration. No one knows who the narrator is. The narrator claims he is of sound mind but is he? The lack of details about the two main characters contrast the specific plot details leading up to the murder.Notes from Professor on my chosen topic: If in the process of writing the paper you are struggling for enough analysis to fill 6 pages, you could expand your topic to bring in another of Poe’s characters to help you make your point. So, your main focus is on the Tell-Tale Heart, but here’s a paragraph discussing how Poe is doing something similar (or different!) with the narrator of the “Cask of Amontillado” or some other such thing. In other words, you can remain open to looking at characters from other stories, but primarily focus on the Tell Tale Heart. Assignment:For this assignment, you will select a topic below and develop a research essay of 5-6 pages. You should use five academic-caliber research resources for this essay (beyond the primary texts you are using from the textbook). You are required to choose a different topic/text from that covered by your oral presentation earlier in the semester. 1.What problems or concerns did you have in writing or revising this essay?2.What do you feel is the strongest part of your paper or of yourself as a writer?3.What are one or two questions or issues you would like for me to pay attention to as I read your paper?4.What did you get out of completing this assignment? If another ENG student asked you if he/she should choose this topic and approach for this assignment, what would you say? Why is it a good (or bad) choice to research this topic with the texts you chose? What might you do differently?Self eval should be a separate word doc.
