(a)Stafanos behavior was very suprising he didn’t run away from the tragic and scary monster he was very going he didn’t care if he was stalked and planned for diiner by the columber all he cared was to get his research. That is why he would risk his life at sea because he was determined to get what he wanted.
(b)I think if he was to face the columber earlier in his life he would of thought a different way and the columber would have tramatized him and scared him off his journey to command ships and find what he wanted to find
(c)He loved to explore the sea but what keeps on making him come back to the sea was how anxious he was to get back on the boat and contine floating along the big ocean blue.
(d)The author is trying to tell us is that how scary the monster or how scary the person is or how long they followed you. You never know if they will be good or bad because every thing and everyone needs a chance. Therefore stefanos never got what the columber had to give him.
(2)Intermiottently: from time to time inexorable: unyielding immovable unchangeable. Scrutinized: looked at carefully. Abyss: bottomless depth here something beyond understanding or too deep for measurement. Astern: torward the stern or back of the ship. The front of the ship is the bow. Obstinately: stubbornly persistently. Intrepid: fearless brave. Sever: separate break or cut off. Palcid: undisturbed calm tranquil. Indomitable: unconquerable not eaisly discouraged or defeated.

1. To whom could Montresor be talking, fifty years after the murder, and for what reasons? The montresor could be talking to fortunatos grave.
2. Part of the story's horrifying effect comes from Poe's use of irony. What do we know that Fortunato does not know about why he has been invited into the vaults? Which type of irony is this? He is plotting to kill fortunato but he does not know. Dramatic Irony
3. Identify two of Montresor's comments to the unsuspecting Fortunato that are verbally ironic. Place them in quotation marks for your answer. 1. “Friend” 2. “For the love of God”
4. The story is full of other examples of irony. Explain why each of these are ironic: a. Fortunato's name: His name means Fortune.
b. Fortunato's costume: He is a Jester as in a joker.
c. The fact that Carnival takes place in the streets above the catacombs: That is the place they were supposed to go.
5. Think about whether or not Montresor is a reliable narrator. Do any details suggest that he might have imagined "the thousand injuries" and the insult - or even the whole story? Explain your answer with support from the text, not just opinion. Details that suggest that he is not a reliable narrator is because he is phsyco. He was also insane.
