Friday

Please write sentences with immolation and abscond. What is the part of speech for each? What is the definition?

After you finish, I will give you a few minutes to finish your short story outlines for "The Lady or the Tiger?" and then we will read/act a play based on the simulation and finally begin "The Cask of Amontillado". 

A simulation based on The Lady or the Tiger?

SEQUEL TO "THE LADY OR THE TIGER?"  

"The Cask of Amontillado".  As we read remember to look for 1) Irony (three types - situational, verbal, and dramatic); 2) Symbols; 3) Foreshadow; and 4) Allusions. You will also be filling out a short story outline.

Discussion Questions to think about

1) Compare and contrast Montresor and General Zaroff: how they think, how they view the world, how they view others, how they view themselves, the places they live, how they act—in essence compare their emotional, mental, and physical existences.
2) Why does Montresor feel justified in carrying out his plan against Fortunato?
3) Which character traits make Fortunato such an easy prey for Montresor (needs to be more than just his “connoisseurship in wine”.
4) In what ways are Montresor and Fortunato alike? How are they different?
5) List an irony of situation, a verbal irony, and a dramatic irony found in "The Cask of Amontillado".
6) List and explain one symbol in the story.
