Soon the parties got better and better, and they were well know everywhere for their drunken, crazed parties. One day Montresor’s and Fortunato where shooting clay pigeons in Montresor’s large backyard. Fortunato wanted to ask Montresor’s if he could maybe throw a party at his father's…

Dewey tells in his paper that, “Incidents of gun violence on campuses date back more than two centuries. Reports of shootings on campuses during the eighteenth and nineteenth century most often involved disturbed teachers turning guns on unruly students” (Dewey).

All three of us went inside…
