The use of diction, “Villains” specifically refers to the policemen in the persona’s company, although the persona is the murderer who clearly has portrayed villainous qualities. This ironic accusation is the result of the narrator projecting his lingering guilt onto others, as a method of coping with his emotional trauma. The confusion and inability to distinguish between the policemen and the composer’s villainous actions ultimately concludes the short story by consolidating the persona’s insanity, setting the audience’s mind to rest with the resolution. Through Poe’s storytelling, the audience experiences a dubious journey, which mirrors the nature of insanity.

I was inspired by her perception on the ways of knowing and understanding. That by teaching a student to translate their strengths and process to any subject inspires a metacognitive learning style.

Through mass immigration, heavily subsidised companies, CCP (Chinese Communist Party) funded projects and increased diplomatic ties, China has shown
