Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" is great fiction because of the mood the use of suspense creates in the story. What are these feelings? and how do they work to formulate the major themes in this piece? Use evidence from the poem to support your answer.This paper was described as a summary as well with the answers not being answered as in the first assignment. The Cask of AmontilladoEssay Paper Requirements 1.  All papers must be typed (12 pt. font, double-spaced). 2.  All papers must be in Times New Roman font. 3.  All papers must be completed in MLA format.Example:The main conflict in Jackson’s narrative, “The Lottery” is that a community is unable to rid itself of a horrible and unnecessary tradition because it is afraid of change. The townspeople continue to hold its annual lottery which involves the sacrificing of a person from the village, as they believe that this will ensure another year of their prosperity. This is shown when Old Man Warner, a respected elder of the community, ridicules those people from other towns who have retired this tradition. He says, “‘Pack of crazy fools… nothing is good enough for them. Next thing you know, they’ll be wanting to go back to living in caves… Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.’” By railing against those people who have stopped conducting the lottery, Warner demonstrates his town’s belief that holding to the traditions, especially the lottery, is essential to ensuring the village survives the coming year. They do not understand that sacrificing one of their own will do nothing to change the fate of their community, and cannot see how anyone would be so careless as to depart from this ritual. But, those who have discontinued the lottery realize that it is ridiculous to believe that killing one of their own will ensure a good harvest.   It seems that these people could do other things to better ensure their prosperity. Since they are so concerned about their crop yields, they could send members of their community to land –grant colleges to study agriculture. These individuals could learn the latest farming techniques, return home and teach others in the community these things. They could also invest money in buying better equipment and improving the town’s infrastructure. Public works projects like dams and reservoirs would make irrigation more efficient and protect their crops during a drought. They could also encourage community members to stay current in their reading of agricultural literature, as knowledge is the real key to prosperity.

Set up the experimentGet four 8 oz. cups from the lab kit. Place a piece of tape on each cup or glass. Using a pen or marker, label the tape on each cup with one of the following percentages: 0%, 1.75%, 3.5%, and 7%.Using the graduated cylinder, measure out 100 mL of distilled water. Pour the water into the fifth, unlabeled cup.Measure out 1.5 level teaspoons of salt and add it to the unlabeled cup containing 100 mL of distilled water. Mix completely. This is the 7% salt solution.Using the graduated cylinder, measure out 50 mL of this mixture and pour it from the graduated cylinder into the cup labeled 7%.Add distilled water up to the 100 mL mark of the graduated cylinder to make the next dilution. Adding 50 mL distilled water to 50 mL of a 7% solution will result in 100 mL of a 3.5% solution.Using the graduated cylinder, measure out 50 mL of the 3.5% solution and pour it from the graduated cylinder into the cup labeled 3.5%.Add distilled water up to the 100 mL mark of the solution in the graduated cylinder to make the next dilution. Adding 50 mL of distilled water to the 50 mL of the 3.5% solution will result in 100 mL of a 1.75% solution.Using the graduated cylinder, measure out 50 mL of the 1.75% solution and pour it from the graduated cylinder into the cup labeled 1.75%.Empty the remaining 1.75% solution down the drain of the sink and rinse out the graduated cylinder with tap water.Using a sharp steak or kitchen knife, slice eight pieces of potato exactly 10 mm x 10 mm x 40 mm (1 cm x 1 cm x 4 cm). It is critically important that these potato core pieces are cut as precisely as possible; they need to all start out having the same volume. A single- edge razor blade may work better than a knife.Determine the volume of the potato cores. The volume, is calculated by multiplying the width x height x length. Therefore, each core starts out with a volume of 4,000 cubic millimeters or 4 cubic centimeters. Measure the cores with both the mm ruler and the calipers. Measuring with the calipers to the nearest millimeter will be good enough for this lab. Create a data table like the one below to record the beginning and ending volumes.Table 1. Potato core measurements0% salt solution1.75% salt solution3.5% salt solution7% salt solutionBeginning average volume (cu mm)Ending average volume (cu mm)Percent differencePlace two measured cores into each solution overnight, or for at least 8 hours. That time period is not critical to the results; it can be longer.Remove the cores from one of the cups and pat them dry with a paper towel. The solution may now be discarded down the drain of a sink.Using the caliper, measure the height, width, and length of the cores, and then determine the volume of each core. Average the measurements for the two cores and record in the data table above. The cores can now be discarded.Repeat Steps 13 - 14 three more times: one time for each cup.Illustration of the Importance of Surface-to-Volume RatiosCalculate the surface-to-volume ratio of the following potato cubes:CUBE 1: Length, width, and height are all 5 mmCUBE 2: Length, width, and height are all 3 mmEffect of cell size on diffusion rateWith clean hands, cutting board, and knife, cut the skin off of the potato.Using the knife, cut two cubes of potato with dimensions of 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm.Using the knife, cut two cubes of potato with dimensions 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm.Using the knife, cut two cubes of potato with dimension of 2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm.Place distilled water into a cup or glass. Add the vial of food coloring to the water until a dark color is achieved.Carefully place the potato cubes in the solution. The cubes must be completely submerged in the water. Let them stand in the solution for 2 to 4 hours.After 2 to 4 hours, remove the cubes. Using the knife, cut each cube in half.Using the ruler, measure how far the solution has diffused into each potato cube.Record the results. A sample data table is included below that may be used to organize and record the results.Complete the following calculations to determine the rate of diffusion and record the results.Rate of Diffusion (cm/min)= Distance of diffusion ÷ time.CubeDistance of DiffusionRate of Diffusion1 cm cubed1 cm cubed1.5 cm cubed1.5 cm cubed2 cm cubed2 cm cubedAverage Rate of Diff.What were the percent differences between the volumes of the potatoes in the osmosis experiment for each salt solution?
