Read an essay about Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Black Cat" and look for weaknesses in the writing. Describe how the writer should revise the word, and edit the essay for errors in capitalization, spelling, and punctuation.

Explanation:

Phrases to be corrected:

-"The story revolves around the psychology of guilt and a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it."

The most concrete idea would be:

The story revolves around the psychology of a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it.

-"This article will analyze the issue of violence as it is contained in history".

It could be corrected as the following:

"This article will analyze what influenced the narrator to become a violent man and what the consequences were."

A correct punctuation must be made in the following paragraph:

"These animals included dogs, apes, and even donkeys. The theme of violence is also portrayed when the narrator, realizing his mistake, turns on himself and begins to hurt himself with the knife that he always carried with him."

The first stanza is a continuity of the idea from the previous paragraph, therefore it must be in the previous paragraph with a period followed.

In the following paragraph we can make some editorial corrections as well as punctuation:

"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. The theme of loyalty also shows up when the narrator gouges his cat's eye out. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him."

We can see in the previous paragraph that the subject of loyalty begins to be discussed, therefore it is not necessary for the writer of the essay to say again "the subject of loyalty is also shown ..." it could be said "We can quote a example when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye ".

The last paragraph, as it is a continuity of the previous paragraph where the writer continues talking about loyalty, must continue that idea in the previous paragraph with a period followed.

Therefore, there should be a single paragraph where it is not necessary to repeat the word "the issue of loyalty" but only leave the word "loyalty" because it is already known that that issue has been discussed. Therefore, they could be as follows:

"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. An example we can cite is when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him, and loyalty is represented by the cat himself. After the narrator gouged out the cat's eye, the cat was still playing with the narrator after the pierced eye sock had healed. Under normal circumstances, the cat would have fled the house and moved to another house away from the brutality."

Answer:

(The essay I used is underneath the last question)

1. Where does the writer stray from the topic? What could be done to fix this problem? Explain what you would cut and cross it out in the text of the essay.

I do not believe MuffinAlien strays away from the gothic topic in her essay. I think she did a great job describing Edgar Allen Poe's writing.
2. What misunderstandings or inaccuracies involving Gothic literature or Poe's use of suspense do you see? How would you suggest eliminating this problem? If necessary, cross out some words within the text of the essay.

I do not think there are any misunderstandings or inaccuracies in gothic writing, Poe's story, or the essay that MuffinAlien wrote. However, I will say I do have a small opinion. When writing a gothic based story, or maybe even any story depending on who you ask, people use more complex words, making sentences longer to make it seem like time is moving slowly in the story. I do not think it's effective for what it's for. This may be very biased because it's my personal opinion, but it makes it harder for me to understand the plot of the story. Instead of making the story more interesting because the time is being slowed, it makes it more boring because the time is too slow, and then I'm not interested in reading anymore. This is the reason why I do not enjoy gothic stories.

3. Where does the writer fail to support her points with evidence? What evidence from the story would you suggest adding to support these points?

MuffinAlien doesn't fail to support her points with evidence. Every example MuffinAlien told, she gave a quote to go with it.

4. Read the essay again and edit it for errors. Find and fix as many spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors as you can. Pay special attention to the errors you learned about in the lesson, but look for other types of errors as well. You may write your edits directly into the essay.

I do not believe that there is anything wrong with the essay MuffinAlien wrote, but i suppose i wouldn't get a good grade if i didn't do much on this essay, so i'll try my best to fix it somehow.

Gothic writing is marked by the suspense of not knowing what will happen next in a story. Great Gothic writers like Edgar Allan Poe move beyond simple techniques to build suspense. His stories are more than the usual "It was a dark and stormy night." In his popular Gothic story, "The Black Cat," you can see Poe effectively using clear narrative choices to build suspense. How he holds back information and controlled pacing develops the narrator's character are both two good examples of how he does it.

Holding back information is the first way Poe builds suspense. As the story begins, the narrator is clearly addressing an audience. He says it in a way as if he knows us already. It says at the very beginning of the story, "But to-morrow I die, and to-day I will empty my soul." This statement is so extreme that anyone who would stumble onto these words would be attached, wondering what's going to happen next. None of the questions flowing through the reader's mind are answered until much later in the story. The now-curious reader must read along.

Along with this, Poe effectively controls the pacing of the story to which also builds suspense. Whenever the action becomes intense and the narrator becomes excited or violent, the sentences are either short or very choppy. For example, “...They left no nook or corner unexplored. At length, for the third or fourth time, they descended into the cellar. I trembled not in a muscle. My heart beats calmly as that of one who slumbers in innocence…” These sentences are short, direct, and choppy, creating more suspension. When Poe wants to create the illusion that time is passing more slowly; he uses longer and more complex sentences that must be read more carefully and slowly. For example, “To those who have cherished an affection for a faithful and wise dog, I need hardly be at the trouble of explaining the nature or the intensity of the satisfaction, therefore available. There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a savage, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasions to test the small friendship and cobweb loyalty of basic Man.” These sentences are very long, showing that time is passing very slowly.

Poe creates suspense in the story by using more complex tools and narrative choices than just setting the story on a stormy night in a haunted house or middle age castle. He holds back information and carefully controls the pacing. These narrative choices are so effective that we're still reading Poe's stories more than 150 years after they were first published.

On a cold spring afternoon, while walking home from school, I detoured through the playground at the end of our alley. I saw a
group of old men, two seated across a folding table playing a game of chess, others smoking pipes, eating peanuts, and
watching. I ran home and grabbed Vincent's chess set, which was bound in a cardboard box with rubber bands. I also carefully
selected two prized rolls of Life Savers. I came back to the park and approached a man who was observing the game.
"Want to play?" I asked him. His face widened with surprise and he grinned as he looked at the box under my arm.
"Little sister, been a long time since I play with dolls," he said, smiling benevolently. I quickly put the box down next to him on
the bench and displayed my retort.
What motivates the narrator to "display [her] retort" rather than to respond verbally to the man?
the goal not to speak a single negative word in thirty days
the fear of what the narrator's mother will do
the knowledge that it is dangerous to speak to strangers

My favorite book has to be Charlie and the Chocolate factory. thats probably because I love eating chocolate my self. If only I could make my own chocolates. In my family, everyone fights over chocolates. mum likes one with soft centres, especially strawberry and lemon. My sister prefers dark, bitter chocolates with no filling at all. Dad searches the box for chocolates with nuts inside. I have a weakness for caramel, you know that hard chewy stuff made from toffee that you can buy as chocolate eclairs.

For many years, no one could communicate with people who had been born without hearing. These deaf people were not able to use a spoken language. But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language. How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements using their hands, faces, and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. People might move their forefingers across their lips. This
meant, “You are not telling the truth.” They might tap their chins with three fingers. This meant “my uncle.” The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet. They used their fingers to make the letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute. Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once were. Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak.
46. In the 1700s, the deaf were taught ____.

48. How did sign language help the deaf? A. It helped them learn to read.
B. The deaf could understand body movements made by normal people.
C. It helped them communicate with other people. D. It helped them spell out words.
49. Why are sign language and finger spelling not used as much as they used to?
A. Because there are other ways to help the deaf communicate.
B. Because it is difficult to use a finger alphabet.
C. Because the speed of 130 words per minute is too difficult for most deaf people.
D. Because sign language and finger spelling have no sound.

If his feet are dry, and he fails, he can run along the trail for half a mile and restore his circulation.
