COLLEGE PREP ASSIGNMENT & DUAL ENROLLMENT ASSIGNMENT #2

GET OUT AND DO SOME WORK!!! GET READY FOR NEXT WINTER!!! IT WILL BE HERE SOON!!!

Good morning wonderful seniors. The Sun Is Out!!!! Get outside and get some fresh air today....it is amazing what a little sunlight and fresh air will do for you!!

LISTEN-IMPORTANT: You all will be getting another letter in the mail from Mr Bell and it will explain the "deal with school" going forward. Basically, going forward, I will be assigning ONE assignment per week--and the assignment should definitely take under an hour....probably 40 minutes or so. I won't say anything else right now, so as not to confuse things. Be on the lookout for Mr Bell's next letter!

So here is your assignment for the week (remember, DUAL ENROLLMENT KIDS, if you want the college credit, you need to do the assignment!)

COLLEGE PREP

Hi guys! I haven't heard from all of you, so please send me an email or write back to me. For this week's assignment, I would like you to read the following Edgar Allan Poe story: "The Cask of Amontillado." It is a good short story!! It can be accessed by clicking on the following link:

I would like you to respond to the following questions, and please send me an email/GoogleDoc with your responses! Any questions, send me an email! I am here to help you.

1. Read the story
2. Pick out at least one quote that demonstrates the ARROGANCE or COCKINESS of the character named Fortunado. Explain why you chose this quote
3. Per our discussion of literary terms before we left, how does the story have all THREE conflicts (man vs self, man vs man, and man vs environment/nature
4. Very simply: Explain how the story ends. How is the most frightening "execution" of all time carried out?
