Cornelia Funke, Inkheart

Inkheart is the first entry of a children’s fantasy trilogy by Funke. The series follows
Meggie, a young girl who’s thrust into fantastical adventures after discovering her
father has the magical ability to make fiction reality by reading out loud. This excerpt
comes from Chapter 1, when readers are first introduced to Meggie:

Rain fell that night, a fine, whispering rain. Many years later, Meggie only had to close
her eyes and she could still hear it, like tiny fingers tapping on the windowpane.
Personification and simile bring the rain life, establishing the novel’s air of curiosity,
adventure, and enchantment. The rain is not sad or foreboding, as young readers
might expect, but rather inviting, even enticing, with its whispers and tiny tapping
fingers beckoning Meggie and the reader to dive into adventure.

3. Edgar Allen Poe, “The Tell-Tale Heart”

“The Tell-Tale Heart” is a horror short story written in the first person. The narrator
desperately attempts to convince the audience of his sanity even while describing a
murder he committed, believing his methodical execution of the crime proves his
mental stability.
