English

jonny [76]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The characterization of Fortunato speaks a lot about his personality. He is a drunkard and loves to wear jester-clothes. This characterization has its affects as because of his drunkardness, Montresor was able to lure him.

Explanation:

'The Cask of Amontillado' is a short Gothic story written by Edgar Allan Poe.

Fortunato is another main character in the story and the character on whom Montressor avenge himself. He's been described by Montressor in the story.

He is a 'wine-expert' which characterizes him as a drunkard. It was due to his addiction towards wine because of which he was caught in Montressor'ss trap for his own death. Montressor, cleverly, approaches Fortunato to help him to tasting of a rare wine which Montressor was able to get through a pipe.

Another characterization of Fortunato was his sense of dressing, he loves wearing jester-clothes.. When Montressor met him at carnival he was wearing a motley jester. His sense of wearing reveals that he is a 'funny fellow.' Even at the beginning of the story, Montressor states that Fortunato has <em>'inflcted him with thousand injuries.'</em>

These characterization of Fortunato helps the plot of the story reach it's conclusion, death of Fortunato. If he would not have been addicted to wine, Montressor would not have been able to lure him into his death trap. If he would not have been insensitive, he would not have 'caused Montressor thousand injuries which led Montressor to avenge on him.

Andreyy89
A rough draft is the preparation for a final essay and as I see it a rough draft may contain all of the elements mentioned in the given options. For example, prepositions, nouns and adverbs are also sure to be included, since it is a written piece and these are central components of any language. Transitions will probably be utilized, as you will probably build up a few points in your exposition and should change from thought to thought.

How does the narrator's hearing affect the story?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Sometimes the narrator has an opinion on things and takes sides. But if most people agree on a choice, the narrator usually agrees too. For example, in a fairy tale, snow white fell asleep and most people wanted snow to wake up. (The dwarves) But only the evil queen and her servants wanted her to die. SO if the narrator said

"Snow white was so dramatic and sad and she was so useless. The evil queen on the other hand, deserves to win and she is amazing."

People wouldn't want to read it because the opinion is not very popular.

My brother loves to cook, he especially loves to barbecue. Which answer choice best corrects the run-on sentence? My brother lov
yanalaym [24]

The correct answer is My brother loves to cook, but he especially loves to barbecue.

Explanation:

The sentence "My brother loves to cook, he especially loves to barbecue" is a run-on sentence because each of the sections in the sentence is a complete sentence, and complete/independent sentences cannot be connected using a comma. Instead, a semicolon should be used (;) or a conjunction such as and, but, or can be added after the comma. This second method of correction occurs in the sentence "My brother loves to cook, but he especially loves to barbecue".
