It may not be 4 o'clock in the morning when you have ended these labors, but it's still time to work on textual analysis. Study the resolution of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" through the thematic lens of guilt and confession, particularly in its reflection within the text structure. High schoolers also examine tension development and decide which section effectively builds tension.
