The story "The Pit and the Pendulum" was written by Edgar Allan Poe and published in 1842. The story describes the experiences of a man who has been condemned to torture by the Spanish Inquisition. One of the main characteristics of this story is the fact that it is told from a first-person point of view. This allows the reader to gain insight into the mind and the feelings of the protagonist. Moreover, it allows for vivid descriptions that emphasize the senses, particularly that of sound. Through these strategies, Poe is successful in creating fear in the mind of the reader.

"good afternoon. how are you today? ” when writing the next few lines of dialogue, dominique should be certain that the lines provide clues about what will happen later on in the narrative. contain made-up details that make the story more exciting. include everyday language that seems real and natural. use precise words that make both men sound educated.
