Answer 10

MONTRESOR:

Montresor, the narrator, was brought to life because we saw the story through HIS perspective... but an outside observer would assume he's not a very reliable narrator... if he admits to lying and killing, he's not exactly someone the reader can trust - he's not completely sane. Clearly a cold and wicked killer. This was expressed through his whole plot and actions of luring his former friend, Fortunato, to an underground maze of tunnels and tombs. He's all more crazy because, down there, he locks him in chains and walls him up to die. Those aren't actions someone that's "all mentally there" would have done. The reader can't really find much sympathy with Montresor, because, well, how many of us have really tricked someone to their death? Despite the fact that we will want revenge at some point in our life, MOST of us are not willing to go as far as murder. And since the story is a flasback, 50 years AFTER the actual event... the question is: Is Montresor ~confessing his sins OR ~bragging about his crime? Because, in case we're bragging, we want people to admire us for it, to show off our own wit... but if we're confessing, it just means we're aiming for forgivenesss, and for freeing ourselves from that burden. That's really up to the reader and his/her interpretation of the character, but whatever the answer... it will help us further determine his personality. We could tell that, either way, this is a secret that Montresor STRONGLY wanted reveal.



FORTUNATO:

Although Forunato might seem to be the "easier" character to determine... he truly isn't - much more complicated than Monstresor (as well as the reader!) saw him. Fortunato was brought to life with Monstresor's description of him. Some of what it was direct, while others we had to figure out ourselves. Monstresor sees him and explains to the reader through his narration that Forunato is conceited because of his knowledge of wine and wealth. We see how drink after drink of wine that Montresor provides for him leads Fortunato to becoming less aware of what was going on around him - very vulnerable to Montresor. It was a smart and wicked skill, because the narrator is quite aware of Fortunato's wine addiction and "Amontillado" was all he was looking forward to throughout the enitre underground journey. Fortunato is ALSO a tad bit insensitive - he ignores Montresor's anger at him and despite ALL those drinks he didnt even thank him. Even though Montresor gave him NO reason to not trust him, Fortunato should have put a bit less trust in the masked man. Forunato's personality is all more complicated with the twisted ending~

Answer 11

ohhh ok sorry

Answer 12

thats ok

Answer 13

Actually B.) is used correctly because "Micheal Jordan" would be considered an essential appositive, so to indicate that it IS essential instead of nonessential, commas are not provided... (I'll explain both terms in a bit...)


The correct option (that uses incorrect punctuation) would be A.) because there should be a comma before the word "Martha".. indicating that this appositive is nonessential.


Nonessential appositives are ones that are "not essential" in the sentence, but add details for the sentence, usually indicated by commas before and after the appositive.. for example:

"The fastest runner on the team, Lauren Silverman, recently sprained her ankle." <--The appositive would be 'Lauren Silverman' and the sentence could flow perfectly fine without this appositive.. meaning that the sentence is nonessential, but this piece was included to add more to the sentence


The options A.), C.), and D.) all demonstrate the use of "nonessential" appositives...


Option B.) uses an essential appositive with the words 'Micheal Jordan' because this piece is very essential to the sentence or it would not have made much sense... in other words.. would the sentence make sense without the words 'Micheal Jordan'...: "The athlete ... won six basketball championships with the Chicago Bulls." Something seems to be missing correct? We need to understand WHO won six basketball championships... it's ESSENTIAL for the reader to know that...

Essential appositives are usually indicated by NOT using commas within the sentence.

Anyway... Hope that helped..

Good Luck ^-^*

Answer 14

i think your on the wrong question

Answer 15

France's*

And yes it did violate the Enlightenment principles of equality...

There were three estates:

First Estate: members of the clergy
Second Estate: members of the aristocracy
Third Estate: everyone else


A huge example of the inequality was: taxes


The First Estate: The Clergy (Catholic)

made up about 0.5 percent of the population
collected a tithe, or money from churchgoers (10% of the income of all French citizens)
paid little in taxes ~Wealthy
had access to the king and to positions of power (some second estate)
​


The Second Estate: The Aristocracy (nobles)

had more power and privileges htan any other estate
made up about 2% of population
controlled most of the wealth (landowners)
did not have to pay most taxes
was not expected to take part in business or trade
​


The Third Estate: Peasants

made up about 98% of the French population
lived mostly in rural areas
was generally poor peasant farmers
paid the highest taxes
had the lowest social status and the least amount of political power
