Tell-Tale Heart is told in first person in the eyes of a character whom, at the start of the story, tries to convince the reader of his sanity by saying “Can you not see that I have full control of my mind? Can you not see that I am not mad?” These words, ironically, leads the reader to think of the narrator as more unreliable, as no sane man tries to convince others of his sanity.

Junger cannot be entirely sure of the final moments of Andrea Gail and her crew and tries his best to speculate and draw reasonable conclusions without assumption.

Megan Castro Professor Jason Southworth PHI 2010 January 25, 2016 Paper #1: Paley In William Paley 's The Teleological Argument, Paley concludes that God exists-or rather a "watchmaker", i.e. a designer of the universe, exists. Paley presents his argument with the over-stretching of the analogy that the existence of such an intricate design that is a watch, has a great purpose, as opposed to a stone that is of no use, and serves as proof of a watchmaker. Paley uses the example of a watch to explain and conclude that the universe is just the same. The intricate design that is the universe has a great purpose and serves as proof of a universe maker, i.e. God, which further concludes that God exists.
