FRESHMEN : 1 DJ FOR “THE CASK OF AMONTILLADO”

JUNIORS: COMPLETE WORK ON GRIZZLIES

“Cask…” Djs

“A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt to him who has done the wrong”(Poe 5 ).

In this passage the narrator explains how to maximize revenge. The diction level is high/formal which indirectly characterizes our narrator as intelligent/educated. The tone is authoritative/threatening/ aggressive and creates a mood that is creepy. This plan helps to create the theme: two wrongs do make a right as the narrator gets away with his plan. A well-thought-out plan can bring long-term satisfation. A sociopathic killer feels no remorse for murder.

How to Avoid or Minimize Textbook Fines1. Inspect your book for damage such as rips or tears on the cover or inside

pages, separation of binding, missing pages, graffiti, water damage or mold.2. If you see any damage, take your book to the textbook window during lunch.

Don’t try to repair torn or rip pages or binding. We will repair minor damages at no charge.

3. You have 5 days after checkout to report damage. If your textbook is damaged, you have the following options: a) exchange the book for a better copy if one is available. b) ask the textbook person or Ms. Rikansrud (in the library) to check that the book status is poor. Water damage needs to be noted.

4. Write your name on the inside cover of the book so you don’t confuse it with anyone else’s book.

5. Take your book home. Don’t carry it around in your backpack or store it long term in your locker. Every time you drop your backpack, you are damaging your book’s binding. During winter break, the building can get cold and condensation can form inside the locker which can lead to water damage.

6. Keep your book away from liquids and anything that could cause damage. 7. If your book becomes wet, even accidentally, you can replace it with a used

book that is in good condition. During lunch, check with the textbook person or Ms. Rikansrud to get the book ISBN number.

Then: 47 ÷ 5= 9.43.Take the average of that and multiplying by the

number of lines written. 9.4 x 30= 282 

Scoring: 1-44 = 1 45-88=1.589-133=2 134-178 = 2.5179-223 = 3 224-268=3.5269-313 = 4 314-351 =4.5
