Answer:
In the first lines of the poem the speaker begins by creating several unusual and engaging phrases that state that things are “famous”. The first explains that the “river is famous to the fish”. This might take some analysis to figure out, but, it makes sense to consider the importance of the river in the life of a fish. It’s what they live in and very likely thinks about all the time. It’s the most important thing in their world.
The second “famous” line is different but not so much so that it isn’t related. This time, the speaker says that the “loud voice” is famous for the silence that it interrupts. After the first comparison, this one is easier. Without a “loud voice” the silence wouldn’t seem noteworthy. It needs to be interrupted to be noticed.
Nye uses personification and allusion in the next lines. She alludes to a line from the Bible, “the meek will inherit the earth” in order to cast “silence” in the same light. She is effectively saying that “silence” is meek, a human character trait given to something that’s not human. The silence knew, somehow, that it would inherit the earth long before it was written in the Bible.

Explanation:
Fortunato contributes to the element of suspense by acting as if he is Montresaur (however you spell his name) friend. Fortunato has built up hate for Montresaur because of all the bad things he has done to him in the past. Throughout the story...Fortunato finds out there is an upcoming carnival. He plans to kill Montresaur by wearing a mask to the carnival and leading Montresaur into the catacombs to "look at the fine wine" he has but instead gets him drunk and leads him deeper into the catacombs where no one would look and hangs him against a wall of dead bones and starts to build a wall around him where he will slowly and painfully die, while drunk he does not know what is going on and thinks it is a joke, but as he becomes sober he cries for help while Fortunato builds a wall. As Fortunato gives his last words to Montresuar his puts the last brick in place.
