Coat Of Arms Cask Of Amontillado
853 words
Edgar Allan Poe's short story, The Cask of
Amontillado, presents the compelling drama of two
men. Montresor, one of the two men, will stop at
nothing to get the revenge that he deems worthy of
from Fortunato. The other man, Fortunato, his own
pride will ultimately be the catalyst for his
death. From a critical perspective, Charles E. May

be Montresor's reason for killing Fortunato, but
his reason for telling about it. I believe that
Montresor doe...

Horse Races Olympic Games
700 words
In 776 BC a foot race was run. The winner was the
first Olympic hero ever. From that very first race
to today, the Olympics have always been a way for
nations to come together in friendly competition
and international goodwill. The conditions of the
first Olympics were not anything like they are
today. The events were held in an open space in
which a track had been paced off, areas for the
javelin and discus had been laid out, etc. The
spectators did not have stands to sit in; instead,
they occu...

the twentieth century, the field of robotics has
the promise to equally alter the way we live in
the twenty first century. We have already seen how
robots have modified the manufacturing of cars and
other customer goods by streamlining and speeding
up the assembly lines. Robots have also enabled us
to see places that humans are not yet able to
visit, such as other planets and depths of the
ocean never before explored. And just as computer

Edgar Allan Poe Dramatic Irony
630 words
One of the main themes of Edgar Allan Poe's The
Cask Of Amontillado is revenge. In this summary
theme I intend to demonstrate how dramatic irony
is used all along the short story as a way of
reminding us the true intentions of the character
who vowed revenge. Firstly I will make a brief
summary of the short story: the story is supposed
to happen more than a hundred years ago (it was
first published in 1846) during Italian Carnival
festivities. The main character, a man called
Montressor, feels t...

Drinking And Driving R J

Recently in my Driver Education Class, I watched
several videotapes dealing with the serious
subject of drunk driving. After watching these
tapes, I would like to recommend the one story
that I consider the best. I would like everyone
who drives a car to see it. I think the story
about Bruce Kimble, entitled The Aftermath is the
best one on the videotapes because of its strong
emotional impact. It shows how innocent people
suffer from the actions of a drunk driver. In this
videotape, former Olym...

Stanza Donne Writes Care Less Eyes Lips Love

Simile and Metaphor in John Donne's "A

farewell address forbidding his wife to mourn,
strikes me as an extraordinot nary title for this
poem. Donne's title has an implied meaning that
contradicts how this poem leads the reader to
believe it's a love poem he writes to his wife
before leaving on a journey to France. A love so
strong, so pure, that the bond could never
possibly be broken, even after death. Two souls
who will always be together physic...

Inferno: Dantes Inferno INFERNO Inferno: Canto I
Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself
within a forest dark, For the straightforward
pathway had been lost. Ah me! how hard a thing it
is to say What was this forest savage, rough, and
stern, Which in the very thought renews the fear.
So bitter is it, death is little more; But of the
good to treat, which there I found, Speak will I
of the other things I saw there. I cannot well
