HEART TRANSPLANT
• A heart transplant is a surgery which consists on removing a damaged or diseased heart and replace it with a healthy donor heart. • Finding a donor heart can be difficult. The heart must be donated by someone who is braindead but is still on life support.
The donor heart must be matched as closely as possible to your tissue type to reduce the chance that your body will reject it.

Heart transplant surgery may not be used in patients who:

    The Tell-Tale Heart Vs The Black Cat

    Within “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Black Cat,” the narrators share similarities in their view of an individual and in their actions. Both narrators claim that they are sane as their senses have been evidence to support them and by having the ability to wholly retell the events that had transpired. In “The Tell-Tale Heart,” the narrator kills an old man, however he had no ill will against him, stating, “I loved the old man” (“The Tell-Tale Heart”). His fury was at the old man’s eye, which he deemed to be vexing him. He chopped the old man apart and hid the parts under the floorboards. He was so proud of his work that when the police came, he took them to the spot above the body: “In the enthusiasm of my confidence, I brought chairs into…

    Tell Tale Heart Comparison

    The movie of “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe, is more frightening than the story of “The Tell-Tale Heart”. In the movie as the suspense builds the characters intentions are revealed more and more. The plot is more openly expressed in the movie. When the plot is openly expressed tension and suspension get through to the watcher faster than when a reader reads the story. Another reason the movie is more frightening because the characters facial expressions are shown and how they are feeling which builds suspense. The tone of the characters voices. The watcher can hear the fear or the joy or the emotion, as the reader cannot really tell what the characters tone is, you can only predict the tone. In the movie the dialogue is…

    "The Tale-Tell Heart

    The behavior of the narrator in The Tell-Tale Heart demonstrates characteristic's that are affiliated with people with obsessive-compulsive disorder and paranoid schizophrenia. When Poe wrote this story in 1843 obsessive-compulsive disorder and paranoia had not been discovered. However in modern times the characteristics demonstrated by the narrator leads people to believe that he has a mental illness. Poe's narrator demonstrates classic signs throughout the story leading the reader to believe that this character is mad. Most psychiatrists believe that when a person suffers from paranoia they most likely have paranoid schizophrenia. Frederick Frese is a chief psychologist at Ohio mental hospital, Paranoid schizophrenia is defined as " excessive concern about one's own well being, sometimes suggesting the person holds persecutory beliefs concerning a threat to themselves or their property." Some characteristics are "confusion; indecision; nervousness, suicidal and homicidal thoughts. People with paranoia tend to believe that they have super sensitive hearing. They hear inanimate object taking to them or voices that don't exist "Many People with schizophrenia go through periods of getting better and worse. They have remission and relapse. They can go for long periods of time without any symptoms."(Frese 13) In the case of Poe's narrator, he showed symptom of paranoia. He believed that the old room mate's eye was evil." One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture- a pale blue eye, with a film over it."(Poe 117) The narrator comments that he liked the old man but didn't like his eye. The narrator justifies the murder by believing that the old man will vex him. The irony here is that the old man is murdered because he is considered a madman by one who is himself insane. The narrator believes that by killing the old man he can get rid of the curse that the eye…

    The Tell Tale Heart Mood

    “He had the eye of a vulture, a pale blue eye, whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold” (78). This quote is just one example of the cold and confining words that Edgar Allan Poe uses to define the mood of “The Tell-Tale Heart”. First, the text says, “I saw it with perfect distinctness, all a dull blue, with a hideous veil that chilled the very marrow in my bone” (81). This shows the mood of the story by using terrifying words like “chilled” and “hideous” to captivate the reader. Next, the text says, “In an instant I dragged him to the floor, and pulled the heavy bed over him. First, of all I dismembered the corpse. I cut off the head and the arms, and the legs” (81). This shows the mood of the story…

    The Tell Tale Heart Conflict Essay

    The Tell Tale Heart Conflict Essay

    Throughout the course of Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Tell-Tale Heart,” the narrator encounters many stages of internal and external conflict. Psychologically, the aforementioned conflict is enhanced by three systems of the human psyche which inhabit the mind of every individual: the id, ego, and superego; each of which are factors in decision-making and morality. Characterization of the narrator of the story initially presents one character; however, throughout the progression of the text, the three aspects of the mind begin to appear as individual characters. The division of the systems is demonstrative of the psychological separation and opposition of the fragments of the mind. The narrator of “The Tell-Tale Heart” is physically and…

    The Tell-tale heart

    In the story of “The tell-Tale Heart” the author Edgar Poe achieved to convince to the reader that the narrator is unreliable. Having the narrator unreliable makes the reader not trust the narrator to tell the objective truth of what is occurring in the story. The narrator tried to justify himself throughout the story that he is not insane which ends up backfiring and makes the reader think that he is insane. When the narrator was explaining the reason why he killed the old man the narrator admits “He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this!”(Poe 1). The narrator was not sure of why he had killed the old man and said it was because of the eye. This creates distrust between the narrator and the reader because the narrator wasn’t sure of why he killed him. The narrator thought that the reader thinks he is mad which makes the readers think he is insane. When the narrator was sneaking into the old man’s bedroom to kill the old man, the narrator reports “It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha! Would a madman have been so wise as this?”(Poe 2). The narrator implies that his actions were wise and that he is not a madman when they weren’t but him look like a madman instead. Poe chooses to let the reader to make their own judgments by having an unreliable narrator. Having a unreliable narrator make for complex characters which can contribute to the story’s dialogue. Poe leaves the reader to sort out delusion from reality. In conclusion having the character unreliable could create confusion among some readers but it could also let them decide what happens in the story. If a reader chooses to trust in the narrator and believe what he said or chooses to not believe and think something different than either way the reader will have been influenced by the narrator.…

    The Tell Tale Heart Madness

    Has madness really taken him over? Is he truly a madman? Whereas many might argue he is not, such as the defendant himself, it is undisputable that this man is insane. The narrator has been accused of murder and although it is undeniable that he has committed the crime, he is not guilty by reason of insanity. Punishing anyone in the situation of having a mental disorder or suffering from any other psychiatric illness would be unlawful. There is enough evidence to prove that the defendant was actually insane, such as the fact that he suffers from plural illnesses such as paranoia and monomania. Instead of punishing the defendant, sending him to an insane asylum would be of more relevance.…
