Work for today!

 Greetings, everyone! I am away again today, but should be returning tomorrow. Please read below for the our work today.

English 10 (B and D)
Hand in your DEJ. Double check that you have cited your quotes. Check with friends if your questions are levelled. Make sure your name is on it!

Grab our short story book - the big one on the ledge by the door; go back to Cask of Amontillado. Answer these questions. No need to copy them down. Use quotes as much as possible to support your response. Keep this in mind:

Never expect a quote to explain itself – you must do the explaining.

1. Consider the symbolism of Fortunato's clothing. Why is he dressed the way he is? How is the sound of bells on his hat significant?
2. Why does Montresor show kindness and consideration to Fortunato?
3. Why does the narrator continuously refer back to Luchesi?
4. Reread the opening paragraph of the short story. Montresor discusses the rationale of his thinking. We get a similar telling in "The Tell-Tale Heart". How are these narrators similar? How are they different? (you may use Inside Stories II to check on TTH - it's on the green bookshelf by the back door.
5. What does Montresor say that foreshadows the death of Fortunato?
6. What is ironic about Fortunato's name?
7. How does Montresor's family coat of arms represent his values?
