In at least 150 words, describe the author’s use of foreshadowing and suspense in "The Cask of Amontillado." Use details from th

Lunna [17]

Answer:

The Cask of Amontillado is Edgar Allan Poe's short story. In the story, a man named Montresor decides to take revenge on his friend, Fortunato. He lures him into the catacombs and finally buries him alive.

Foreshadowing is a literary device, used by the authors to give us clues about what is going to happen later in the story. Poe employs this device multiple times throughout the Cask of Amontillado. For instance, when they walk through the catacombs, Fortunato starts coughing. Montresor expresses his concern for Fortunato's health, but Fortunato tells him not to worry, as he will not die of a cough. Montresor replies: "True-true." He, indeed, knows that Fortunato will not die of a cough, but will be buried alive instead. Poe, in this line, uses verbal irony to foreshadow Fortunato's death which will happen later.

Another example of foreshadowing would be Fortunato's clothes. It is carnival time, and Fortunato is dressed as a jester (a clown). But he also acts as a clown in the story - a fool that will be manipulated by Montresor. As the story progresses, he gets drunk, makes silly remarks and perfectly resembles the clown. Fortunato's costume, therefore, foreshadows his naivety which will come to light later in the story.

“That you want us to call him Nikhil.”

Oksanka [162]

The correct answer is “Globalization can cause confusion and discomfort as people adjust to different, often conflicting, cultural values and expectations.”

Indeed, the excerpt shows that Globalization causes confusion both for the host society and the immigrants. In this situation, the teacher lacks the cultural contextual information to understand that this Bengalese family is referring to their custom of having a school name for students. She is asking probing questions to try to understand if this is a middle name or a nickname.

The Bengalese parents seem to either lack the humility or the patience to explain exactly why they mean and provide her with the context she needs to understand their request. Another possibility is that they lack the education or linguistic tools to properly explain this.

Incomprehension goes both ways, had they been able or willing to explain this, the teacher would have been able to explain to them that their child can use a second school name in a personal context and have his friends and other students refer to him by such name but that with regards to academic records, American laws prohibit such practices as these records must match the exact legal identity of the student.
