In "the tell-tale heart" by edgar allan poe, which object symbolizes the waiting period before the anticipated end?
the ticking clock
the beating heart
the evil eye
the old man's bed
the lantern

    prior to dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. she took no special notice of any of them. however, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. she is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.

hope this : )

isn't this axel talking to his uncle?
