Body paragraph

The dark and gloomy mood in Tell-tale heart gives the reader a sense of death and doom. “I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed so tar no light shone out.” this quote displays it is dark and suspenseful. Another quote is, “ Presently I heard a slight groan, and I knew it was the groan of moral terror”. This quote I think has meaning, to me it means that the old man feels the crazy guys presence. I also think that he crazy guy feels the old mans terror. I believe that this story, Tell-tale Heart, is a story that displays a very descriptive mood, that make the reader jump of the edge of his seat with excitement.
