write a paper based on the Jonestown documentary we watch in class. In addition to the movie there is an endless amount of information online. Use these resources to write a paper that answers the following question: In your opinion how was Jim Jones able to get over 900 people to “willingly” take their own lives? Was it his ability as a speaker? Were they brainwashed? Was it something inside the followers of the People’s Temple that made them follow a man to their ultimate deaths? There is no right or wrong answer here. You need to give this a lot of thought and tell me what you think. This is not the time to recite the facts of the Jonestown tragedy. This is a time for you state your opinion of the situation with facts to back up your opinion.
Using the short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe research the life and literary philosophy of Poe. Analyze it from the stand point of a horror tale. Compare and contrast it with one of his famous poems. You can pick whatever poem you think is good to compare and contrast to the short story The Tell Tale heart. Just as long as its a poem from Edger Allan Poe.
Also answer the question “Why is it a horror tale” somewhere in the essay.
When you pick a poem by Poe please go in great detail to why it relates to the story The Tell-Tale Heart.
In any part in the essay create a journal entry from the point of view of one of Poe’s characters. For example, you may choose to be the artist from “The Oval Portrait” discussing his passion for art. Or, maybe you will be Roderick or Madeline, wasting away in the house of Usher. Make sure that your journal entry relates to the actual story or poem. *Use a different font when writing the journal entry
