Me !

take the point of view of the black cat. retell the story from its point of view. consider the following:
• what is going through its head?
• what is it thinking throughout the story?
• how does it feel toward the narrator?
• what does it wonder about?
• how does it feel at the end of the story?
in order to do this, you will be using personification (giving human like characteristics to non-human beings).
get creative. let your reader know clearly how you as the cat feel about the events in the story. be sure to tell us what has happened throughout. look carefully at poe’s writing style, and try to make your story match the style of his as much as possible. you do not have to use the uncommon and archaic language, but you should use literary elements and figurative language to create good visual images for your reader.
