Text vs. Video: The Tell-Tale Heart

You need to read "The Tell-Tale Heart" and be ready to write a short essay about it tomorrow.
We will watch the video again so you can take notes on film conventions that you notice.
There are two options for your paper based on your class:

REGULAR: Explain how the text conveyed the mood, tone, or theme in a different way than conventions used in the video.

BOTH/EITHER: Explain how the video OR text conveyed the narrator's madness (characterization).

ADVANCED: Analyze repetition and internal symbolism in the video, OR external symbolism in the text.

Here are some links to help with your homework:
