The narrator isn’t thinking clearly and schizophrenia has caused him to envision false things. One example is that in the end, he hears the beating of a dead old man’s heart. I heard many things in hell.” He hears things that others do not hear, and he believes that people are out to get him. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. In the story it states, “why will you say I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses-not destroyed-not dulled them. The old man that was murdered, lives with the narrator and he becomes a victim when his “evil eye” begins to drive the narrator insane. To first start off, the main character, the narrator recounts his murder of an old man in an effort to prove his sanity, but in reality it is schizophrenia that is damaging his view of reality, which caused him to commit the murder. When analyzing the story “Tell Tale Heart,” it is apparent that schizophrenia, severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and anxiety disorder caused the protagonist to behave the way he did. Edgar Allen Poe is the creator of the story, “Tell Tale Heart,” where the main character’s actions are distinct from what a healthy minded person would do. Sickness should not be taken lightly, but acted on quickly. Alongside ‘In a Cup of Tea’, a disturbing account which derives from an evil omen, all stories are carried with the ritualistic weight of ancient art forms. ‘Hoichi the Earless’ materialises the spirits of the once illustrious Taira family, massacred in war but returning from the dead to haunt a blind musician. A Yuki-onna, an infamous spirit frightening lost travellers in snowy mountains, is portrayed gloomily in ‘The Woman of the Snow’. In ‘The Black Hair’, the flowing hair of Heian women are revealed as a dark symbol of despair. Unearthing the core of Japanese superstitions, Kwaidan adapts a book by the writer and translator Lafcadio Hearn from 1904, the first to collect scattered stories of folkloric phantoms and introduce its lore to the West. The classic horror from 1964 narrates mythological tales from a feudal past, conjuring some of its best known ghost stories amongst bamboo rooms, rusticated landscapes and surrealist colours. United by the cinematography of Masaki Kobayashi, Kwaidan stages four separate unearthly tales in a spine-chilling ritual. At the core, though, this is a compelling story about family secrets and coming-of-age identity crises. Werewolves, vampires, angels and fairies all fit in this ambitious milieu. Clare's atmospheric setting is spot-on, informed equally by neo-gothic horror films and the modern fantasy leanings of Neil Gaiman. It isn't cliche where the girl ultimately falls in love with a boy and they live happily ever after. The Mortal Instruments is a great series to read if you love vampires, werewolves, demons, warriors, angels, and romance. Great secrets abound both in Clary's past and in her own head-secrets that are gradually revealed to her about her mother, her mother's eccentric friend Luke, her relationship with Jace and, eventually, about Valentine himself. City of Bones is captivating, there's so many unexpected plot twists and acts of betrayal. There she befriends the hunter Jace, who tells her of Valentine's intention to find the Mortal Cup, one of three Mortal Instruments the Angel gave to the first Shadowhunters (the others are a mirror and sword). An attack by a slithering beast sends Clary to the infirmary at the Institute, hidden home of the Shadowhunters. Clary returns home to find her apartment vandalized and her mother missing, apparently kidnapped by creatures in the service of someone named Valentine. Fifteen-year-old Clary Fray witnesses a killing in an "all-ages club" when she confronts the attackers, she learns that they are spectral Shadowhunters, charged with killing demonic creatures called Night Children. Clare's debut novel, first in the Mortal Instruments series, is a sprawling urban fantasy packed with just about every type of creature known to the genre, and still spacious enough to hold more. Sherman is the son of an OB-GYN and an attorney and councilman-at-large, and the whitest black guy Brandon has ever known because of Sherman's light complexion.

Hating someone feels disturbingly similar to being in love with them.” – It’s the perfect start of the book. I absolutely loved the first line – “I have a theory. There isn’t much that everyone hasn’t already said about this book so I will go straight into why I loved the book.

Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy’s overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and Pollyanna attitude. Lucy can’t understand Joshua’s joyless, uptight, meticulous approach to his job. And they have no problem displaying their feelings through a series of ritualistic passive aggressive maneuvers as they sit across from each other, executive assistants to co-CEOs of a publishing company.

The sheep is the one with the big plans, bringing down institutions and creating chaos and order. An act that is often seen as a blessing of the gods.

The sheep has a monumental plan to transform humanity and the human world and does so by entering a person’s body.

She told him that she would allow him to stay with her for the night if he went down to the bar and bought her a beer, but to his surprise he finds his father there, who takes the beer.
