"Fortunato" is an Italian derivation of the Roman proper name "Fortunatus." It refers to a Latin adjective which means "blest" or "fortunate." It is known popularly referenced in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 16:17, in which Fortunatus is one of the Seventy Disciples and serves as an ambassador to the Corinthian church. St. Paul writes in this verse:

I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.
"Fortunatus," thus, went on to become relatively popular in the Catholic tradition, with many saints, martyrs, and clergymen taking up the name. This--as the other educators have pointed out--is deeply ironic given Fortunato's indulgent behavior throughout the story. Fortunato does not appear to possess the graces and qualities of a man of faith; rather, he seems to gratify his every whim and desire, no matter how base or low--drinking, gossiping, cavorting, and partying his way through life. The way in which he dies--being paved behind a wall while drunk--is hardly beatific or holy. He does not perish as a martyr, but rather as a fool.

Write a summary of the poem “For the Union Dead” in 200 words or more. Include at least two important ideas that support your su
Keith_Richards [23]

When constructing a summary for a poem, the first thing one should do is read the poem then immediately retell the poem to yourself in your own words.  This should be the first part of the summary—first state the poem’s title, the poem’s author, then write some sentences about the main idea of the poem.  In a poem’s summary, you’ll want to be sure to touch on as many literary elements as possible—setting, characters, etc.  Whatever you do, be sure to never include your opinion of the poem.  A poem should be just an ordinary retelling with absolutely no analysis.  For a poem, it’s just the facts and nothing but the facts.  Because you will need to include two important ideas from the poem in your summary, one thing you might want to include is a mention of two themes as themes are an important part of the message a poem's author may be trying to convey.
