"not in the insane, murderous ways..."

11 December 2019: Favorite excerpt from a final exam (so far) this semester, this one on the narrator in “The Tell-Tale Heart”:

“I relate to this character in many ways; not in the insane, murderous ways, but in his attitude and mannerisms. He set a goal for himself and strove to achieve it with patience and determination. Moreover, he is anxious, but tries to make himself appear calm, much like myself during finals week.”
