Let's talk about Fortunato's name. What does it

Answer and Explanation:

Let's talk about Fortunato's name. What does it  remind you of?

The name "Fortunato" reminds me of the word "fortune".

If you met someone named  Fortunato, you would expect this person to  be...what?

Fortune has two meanings. It can refer to luck or to wealth. Therefore, if I met someone named Fortunato, I would expect this person to be lucky or rich. I would expect him to have a happy life.

I believe this question is connected to the short story "The Cask of Amontillado", by author Edgar Allan Poe. It is ironic that the character Fortunato should have such a name, since he is being taken by his very friend, Montresor, to be buried alive.

In the book 1984, what does the opening sentence suggest about the book?
QveST [7]
George Orwell's well-known dystopian novel, Nineteen Eighty-four, opens with the following statement that should seem out of the ordinary:It was a bright day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

The thirteenth stroke here doesn't refer to military time but to an old saying. References to a thirteenth stroke of the clock indicate that some event or discovery calls into question everything previously believed. Put another way, the thirteenth stroke of the clock calls into question not only the credibility of itself but of the previous twelve.

But notice in this opening line that it isn't just one clock malfunctioning, but the clocks. Presumably all of them. In this world, the clocks striking thirteen is not an aberration, but a normal way of life.

In this way, Orwell subtly alerts the reader that statements of truth in this fictional society should be called into question.
