In the second story “the necklace” it is about a girl which dreams of being rich and have bountiful clothes but she is from a poor family so she marries a civil servant one day he comes home with tickets to a fancy ball at his work but she don’t want to go because she would have nothing to wear so he gives here 400 francs to bye a dress so she goes out and byes the best dress she can find then she has nothing to wear as jewelry so she goes to her rich friend and she lends her a bountiful necklace she goes to the ball and has the best night of there life but than when she gets home she finds she has lost the necklace the they have to replace it for a lot of money even thou they are very poor so she replaces it and has to work 10 long years to pay for it then she talks to her friend and tells her all that has happened and she finds out that it was a fake.
In the third essay “the tell tale heart” there is a man that tells a story about a man who has a problem his boss has and evil eye and this eye really bugs him so he spy’s on him every night and then one night he goes in and kills the old man with the evil eye then he cuts up the man and he berries him under the floor boards then some police inspectors come around and he sits right above the body and then as time goes on he hears the heart of the old man but it is his own then he goes mad and he admits to killing him.
In the fourth story “ a confession found in a prison” is a story about a man that has a wife his wife’s sister is married to his brother and his wife’s sister has and evil look but one day she has a son and she dyes on holiday then his brother dies so they take in the child but the kid has got the same evil look passed down by the mother so he gets really bugged by it so one day when his wife goes on holiday the man kills the child and berries him in the back garden then he puts grass over him then some police come around and they talk to him in the garden he sits right above the body then the tell him they have some dogs to find the child then the dogs come running in and start sniffing around the ground where he is sitting then they make him move and they dg up he body then he admits it and gets put into prison.
In the first story the best bit of suspense is when the lady is trying to teach the dog how to kill. The best bit of suspense in the second story is when they find out that she has gone and lost the necklace.
The best bit of suspense in the third story is when he keeps going in at night and looking at the old man when he sleeps.
The best bit of suspense in the fourth story is when he finds out that the little child has got the stare that his mum has.
I think the best bit of suspense in all of the stories is in last story is that when he berries the body and the gardeners come and put grass on top of the body and he thinks that they will find the body.
In the end I think all of the stories have lots of suspense in them but vendetta was my favorite because it has suspense murder in it and they are the types of stories that I like. I think they are all very good and they all show mystery and suspense.
