From Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart"

TRUE! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses --not destroyed --not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story.

It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees --very gradually --I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.

Answer:

This is what I wrote (and it is not plagerized you can even check)

Explanation:

The sound that the narrator thinks he's heard at the end of the story is the old man's heartbeat but what he actually hears is his guilty conscious, because that is what is making him think that he can still hear the old man's heartbeat is that since he feels guilty about what he did his conscious is making it seem like the heart is still beating. In the text, it says that " I admit the deed-tear up the planks!-here, here! it is the beating of his hideous heart!" that shows how the narrator got tired of "hearing the heartbeat" so what he did was confess to what he did. The effect that the narration has on the story is that the suspense because in paragraph 17 we the audience are getting anxious because when the police arrive at the house were wondering at what time he will get caught.
