Montresor's had a meaning to it which is appropriate for the story. It means that the family will seek revenge on those who betrayed them. Fortunato character traits make it a easy prey for Montresor. A character trait is that he is always drinking alcohol. So that affects the way he act throughout the story and action's he do. The carnival setting is appropriate because it's a place full with people. The people all have masks on so no one will notice no one. Anyone could get away with anything because they are in a custom.

Anger
Write about a time when you were so absolutely furious, you may have wanted to break or hit something.
I remember the day as if it was yesterday, I was so furious I wanted to just loose my mind. I was in front of my grandma's building waiting for her to come down. It was a couple days later from my birthday. For my sixteen birthday I got a galaxy S4 I was excited and filled with joy when I got it. As I'm standing there waiting for my grandma to come down my phone drops on the floor. My case opens and my phone screen cracks on inside I was not able to use it. I started to cry and got so furious I did not want to speak to no one of how furious I was. My sister was right by my side and she started laughing which got me more furious I almost hit her but I was able to control my anger. That they was so horrible but at the end my mother repaired my phone.

Author's Choices
The author of "The Lady or the Tiger" chose to end his story at the climax. There is no falling action or resolution and the reader is left wondering what happens. Why do you think the author chose to do this? What did he hope to accomplish by doing this? Do you think it works? Why or why not?
