The Jewelry
I really liked this story. This story was very ironic. It starts out with the wife wearing lots of beautiful jewelry that she says is false. "Bust she got into the habit of suspending in her pretty ears two big cut pebbles, fashioned in imiation of diamonds and she wore necklaces of false pearls, bracelets of fasle gold and haircombs studded with paste-imitations precious stones." Her husband told her she shouldnt be flashing around jewelry the way she did, when it was fake. He said when one can't afford such jewelry then she should grace people with her natruel beauty. But she didn't care she loved to wear her jewelry. She ended up dieing of pneumonia. After a while the husband ran out of money so he took one of the false neckleses hopeing to get six francs but found that it was worth much much more. So he took all his wifes jewelry and found that he could get 196,00 francs. His died wifes jewelry was a life savor.
The cask of Amontillado
This story was extremly confusing. All I could understand is that there was a guy that ended up blocking himslef in a casket where he would die.
