How does the chosen point of view in the black cat affect what readers learn about the story and its characters?

In the Black Cat, Poe uses the first person point of view to narrate the story. By doing this, Poe lets us know exactly how the main character is feeling and why he performs certain actions. The reader is given all details from the perspective of the character, which does not mean that it is an objective point of view. In fact, in this story, Poe describes the personality of the main character through his actions and thoughts.

By telling the story form this point of view, we can only infer the personality, feeling and emotions of the rest of the characters, in this case his wife, as the main character does no describe her in detail.  The only reference to his wife's personality is that she likes pets too. The focus in the story is the main character's head and what he thinks.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

conflicting values are demonstrated between two different groups in animal farm. first, the farm animals value hard work. this is shown by them working late and working long hours at the request of the pigs. napoleon and the pigs, however, sleep late daily. furthermore, the animals value equality. this differs from the value of napoleon and the other pigs. instead of equality, they value only gaining power and maintaining their own privilege, which is demonstrated by their taking extra milk and sleeping in beds.
