PLEASE HELP FAST!!!
Read the passage from "The Tell-Tale Heart".
How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily--how calmly I can tell you the whole story.
What is the connotative meaning of the word mad?
Mad sometimes can refer to a mental illness of some sort. Also, after they say "mad" they go on about how they aren't "mad" and say how "healthily" they can tell someone a story.
