Write a polished essay (read it over THRICE before you submit it) in the “write submission” space below (no
attachments!!!!) discussing the great contrast in tone and plot between these two dream-state short stories:
Woolf’s “A Haunted House” and Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart.” They are very, very different. But there is enough
overlap for the basis of a written consideration. (Both short stories are in “Course Content.)
(Note: Virginia Woolf’s “A Haunted House” is the first short story in Virginia Woolf’s Monday or Tuesday
collection. The entire text is also available free online and inside the Course Content tool — look left.)
Use your own voice and don’t refer to ANYTHING outside these two texts. (Don’t look up info to help you. Use
your own head and voice.)
Roughly 750 words. Be specific. Use details. Hand in edited work. Make sure your sentences are actual
sentences. Don’t make sweeping generalizations. Be thoughtful and analytical.
