This gruesome description agrees with the idea of the dog being a resemblance. After putting the dog in the car to go to a vet, he describes the dog as “heavy in my arms” (1) and “settles without resistance” (1) signifying the steps to respiratory failure. Describing the dog as “gravity's dog” (1) is as if he is describing his emotions felt during the death of his wife. The dog being someone else’s gives into the natural…

perpetuated against him. Although he is obsessed with revenge against Fortunato, Montresor does not detail the events of the insult, which he claimed caused harm to his good will. As they walk through the catacombs, Montresor defines his family coat of arms as “A huge human foot d'or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel” (Poe 6).

For my family, these events are simply business as usual. For as long as I can remember, my parents owned the body shop and I have been in the middle of it all. Sitting with my mom at the front desk…

eyes. My scanners immediately survey the warehouse I'm in and my system starts. Progress bars load and data are shown in my central CPU. Big blue and black robotic arms are moving about, adding plates and connecting wires on me. I stand on a cold, smooth, and metallic cylinder raised a few feet off the dark-gray ground while the robotic arms rotate around the cylinder.

after he got away with it. Throughout the story, Poe integrates symbols to highlight pieces of the story, and to foreshadow the plot’s outcome. These symbols include the Amontillado wine, Fortunato’s character, the catacombs, Nitre, and Montresor’s coat of arms. The first symbol presented in this short story is the Amontillado wine.

My furrow-browed brother asked me if I had been on his computer, and scrawny six year old me stared back. My mind raced, but the only thing that fell out of my mouth was silence. After all, I had been raised right. Lying was wrong. At the same time, I couldn’t admit to doing wrong. Ergo, silence. I thought I had discovered pure brilliance. If I never admitted to doing wrong, I couldn’t get in trouble. Six year old me had stumbled onto a large part of the human condition quite by accident.…

the mirror, smoothing his hair. As the scene goes on, he puts on his tie, brushes his coat and puts it on, preparing himself meticulously for a visit from Anne” (The Diary of Anne Frank ).

(Since it was Saturday, he wasn't wearing his overalls)” (The Diary…

Psychological Stress Test The acute psychological stress test we used was a ten-minute version of the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) (Gronwall, 1977). This has been shown to reliably perturb both the cardiovascular system and salivary cortisol levels (Phillips et al., 2005, Phillips et al., 2006, Phillips et al., 2009) and demonstrate good test-retest reliability (Willemsen et al., 1998). In this task, the participants were presented, via a compact disc player, a series of single…
