O.K so I should not be doing your HW for you, but I love The Black Cat. I haven't read it (or the other 2) in a while though. Here is my best guess. If I had to pick one technique in all 3, I would have to say repitition. In the 2 poems there are repititions of lines, and of sounds (assonance and consonance). In the Black Cat Poe also repeats the mans life, and the cat. Was it truel raised from the dead? That is for you to decide.
