BR2-08: The Black Cat

Pluto – this was the cat’s name – was my favourite. (p.1)

 I am going to tell you about The Black Cat. I think everyone knows about this story. This book is written by Edgar Allan Poe. In addition, it is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous stories. I knew by my Japanese high school teacher so I have ever read it in Japanese, but I have never read it in English. A storyteller loved animals when he was a child. Therefore, he and his wife had a lot of animals, a dog, birds, gold fish and a cat. However, he killed his cat because of alcohols. Not only the one, but his wife he killed. Then he was cornered by the cat. This book is scary so if you don’t like horror, don’t read it. I like horror and I’m interested in Edgar Allan Poe’s book. I thought I must not kill even if animals. Thank you for your reading. (150 words)
