I am choosing to do prompt number 3 for our short fiction essay.
The main points that I intend to speak about are the three main things both of these stories have in common.
1. Although "Tell Tale Heart" and "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" both have a different tone and feeling to them, their endings are both a quick change and can startle the audience.
2. Both of the stories deal with punishment. Poe's story is the punishment of the narrator by hearing the noise of the heart beak. Whereas the punishment in Omelas is the young boy who is locked in the basement.
3. Both stories also convey a sense of a strong conscience. Both of the narrators realize that what is going on in the story is wrong. They both have different consequences from the story's actions but it is stemed from the same sense of morals.
I plan on discussing how different these stories are from on another but they are connected by these main themes.

Looks good. Make sure the narrator's function shows up in your first two points too.
