What tone is used in paragraph 2?
I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture-a pale blue eye, with film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees-very gradually-I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.
