English

jonny [76]4 years ago

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.

Ms. Gianno was always the first teacher to arrive at school each morning. On the eve of Halloween, she noticed an orange notecar
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer and Explanation:

It read, "Whatever you do, do not go home tonight."

She turned the card over, but found no signature. She could not recognize the handwriting as well, so she did not know how to interpret it. Was it all just a joke by one of her students? Was it a threat of some kind? She soon had to leave questions and thoughts aside as students began to flow into the halls and classrooms. No one could have thought Ms. Gianno had received such a strange message, for she acted normally the whole day.

It was only at the end of the afternoon, while she was standing by her car, the door open, her leg hovering, that she thought of mentioning it to someone else. Looking around, she noticed at least three more teachers were behaving strangely – just like herself. She called them, showed them the card, and was surprised to see they had all received similar messages. Not knowing what to make of it, they decided the best way to act was to tell the police about it. What if someone had entered their houses and done something that could harm them? Better safe than sorry. It turns out their homes had not been broken into. The police found nothing that could be seen as dangerous, and all teachers were told it was safe to go back to their houses. Ms. Gianno, however, chose to spend the night at a hotel – just to be sure.

In which excerpt does Sir Gawain display honesty and modesty by publicly acknowledging his failings in Authur’s court?
Alexus [3.1K]
If the excerpt is,
<span>If I without discourtesy might quit this board,
And if my liege lady misliked it not,
I would come to your counsel before your court noble.
For I find it not fit, as in faith it is known,
When such a boon is begged before all these knights...

"She guided me in this guise to your glorious hall,
To assay, if such it were, the surfeit of pride
That is rumored of the retinue of the Round Table.
She put this shape upon me to puzzle your wits,...

"Behold , sir," said he, and handles the belt,
"This is the blazon of the blemish that I bear on my neck;
This is the sign of sore loss that I have suffered there;
For the cowardice and coveting that I came to there;
This is the badge of false faith that I was found in there,...

"No, by God," said Sir Gawain, "that granted me life,
I shall grudge not the guerdon, grim though it prove;
Bestow but one stroke, and I shall stand still,
And you may lay on as you like till the last of my part
be paid."

Then the answer would be </span>"Behold , sir," said he, and handles the belt,
"This is the blazon of the blemish that I bear on my neck;
This is the sign of sore loss that I have suffered there;
For the cowardice and coveting that I came to there;
This is the badge of false faith that I was found in there,...

Write some sentences per each
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Since these questions require a personal answer, I will give you some examples so that you can see how it should be answered and you can modify it to your liking.

Explanation:

    The winter sports that I enjoy the most are figure skating and skiing.

I have not reached any achievement in sports but I do remember once I went to cheer on my friend.

He had a figure skating championship in his town. I accompanied him in all his training sessions and when it was finally his turn to compete, he got the highest score!

That was a great achievement and it was a great honor for me to be with him and accompany him at that time.
