We've got one short story, Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" that we'll be discussing, along with irony, beginning on Wednesday. I'll be posting another few for the following week, but we'll start here. :) While you CAN easily find a lot of summary/analysis of this short story online, I really encourage you to get through it on your own - you won't learn much about the analytical process if you're reading someone else's.
We'll talk about the story primarily within the context of plot, character, and point of view (we will talk in more detail about these major literary elements, all of which we've already discussed briefly, as we get to those elements in the textbook reading.) We'll begin looking at irony, another major element. This one is tougher to identify and work with, so we'll be spending a good amount of time on it as we move forward. :)
