The Tell-Tale Heart

The guilt is a sound he cannot outsit, and I will not narrate the rest.

The review

Edgar Allan Poe lets the man who did it do the telling. An old man is killed because of an eye, the body is hidden under the floor, a heart is heard, and he confesses. Leave the killing undescribed. A teen can read it. I would sit nearby and refuse to make a stunt of it.

The guilt is the sound. He was not safe from himself. That is the sentence I trust. There is no brave act, and no household worth the name, only an old man used for an eye and a liar who cannot keep what he hid. If someone starts admiring the nerve, close the book. Nerve is not what breaks him.

The glance

Industry and Household and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

The eight

1
Industry
Nobody works; the telling is a confession, not a trade.
2
Household
The old man is there for an eye, not as a life the house keeps.
5
Piety
Conscience misses the act; the sound drags the confession out of him.
1
Courage
He risks nothing he would miss; he hides, then cannot bear it.
4
Republic
The confession is the only payment a law could get from him.
2
Temperance
An eye becomes a fixation, and he does not put that want down.
8
Truth
What he hid under the floor will not stay a lie he can live with.
2
Stewardship
Nothing is left for anyone after but the confession and the sound.

The Three Musketeers

Their loyalty is a pleasure, and the bodies are still a game to them.

The review

The loyalty is the fun, and I don't quite trust the fun. A poor Gascon joins three men who live by the sword. A woman in the plot is hunted for a piece of jewelry, with a queen's diamonds in that trouble. A teen can read it. I wouldn't offer it as proof that friendship excuses the rest.

I was amused, then sour. The fighting pleases them. That isn't a reason your kid should be pleased the same way. Read it for the four if you read it. Before the jokes settle, say the bodies are a game to them.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

44 instead of 34

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is still a novel film, and it scores 44 instead of 34. What you gain is stewardship: The building outlasts the men who wreck one another.
