Answer:
Making Inferences:
1. One reason Montresor is wearing a costume is to be sure no one recognizes him when he is walking back to his house with Fortunato.
2. Montresor was upset because Fortunato had seriously offended him and wanted revenge.
3. No one ever found Fortunato, who Montresor buried alive down in the catacombs.
4. Montresor kept giving Fortunato wine because he knew he could not resist it and wanted Fortunato to keep following him.
Explanation:
One makes an inference when they use what they know to guess about what they do not know or read in a text. It is from suggestive clues in a text or in a situation that someone can make inferences. To figure out a meaning from some actions or situations, the reader infuses his or her personal experiences. Combining such clues and experiences helps him to form an opinion or make a conclusion.
"The Cask of Amontillado" is an 1846 short story by Edgar Allan Poe. It narrates the intrigue with which Montresor beguiled Fortunato in order to murder him in revenge for supposed offences against Montresor.

Every person is complitely unique Speech
Everything in this world has a purpose. It might seem worthless, but the fact is that everyone plays a vital role in this Earth. People should appreciate what they have and always be grateful. As human beings, we are different in many ways. We are all created by the same God, but we do have some variations. Not all things are perfect, adorable and probably the best. But trust me; there is only that one thing that makes one to be exceptional, regardless of a family background and other problems. Everyone is unique and gifted in some way.I have learned not to judge a book by its cover as the chapters of the book and the author might be wonderful as one gets to know more about it. All things in the past do not determine the future. It takes courage to stand up and fight for what you want. Having the ability to win the battle is the most precious thing. One might be physically taken for granted because of height, race and appearance, only to find that the motive is to serve the purpose, obviously doing all that with great pleasure. Attitude and behaviour can take a person to places that they have never been. It also takes a positive mind-set to fulfil the dreams as well as what the heart desires. In life, we should stand together to turn the world into a better place that will be meaningful.

People of today are selfish and greedy. Write your opinion
Answer: You can say peole are greedy because most of them have a me first mentality and explain more. Then you can say they are selfish becasue people aren't polite and help they only benifit themselfs. And they are greedy because they take from you but don't give back or something. Let me know if I can change something
Explanation:
Why are so many people nasty, selfish, and unpleasant?
I agree that there are a lot of greedy and selfish people, about 60% of the world's population. Everybody may see that even in many charming fairy stories they have at least one antagonist. I believe there are two sorts of selfish people, namely people who actually have to perform egotistical things because of their survival and who never have the feeling. As you can see, there are two reasons why individuals are selfish, greedy, and uneasy. There are motives for survival and avarice. But every reason isn't good enough to be egotistical, since I think this world will be full of peace, love, and happiness if we are all selfish and kind. Moreover, today's youth can see the egotism and materialism of their children. Many youths, particularly those from industrialized nations, affluent backgrounds, and nuclear families can be imitated by their protecting parents. This hidden parenting can lead to the self-centered, self-centered growth of young people, who look after themselves and care for themselves. A Pew Research study has shown that over 65% of young people in the United States and the EU believe that the money is vital since they may use money to buy goods or make themselves more attractive to satisfy their daily needs. However, it is disturbing that more than 68% of the youth interviewed acknowledged they were not willing to work hard to obtain their money. Younger generations nowadays might be selfish, greedy and hungry since they are reluctant to complete their job. Pressure on parents to invite and luxuriate their children in every possible club for pace is just an indication of a sense of egotism established in the previous decade. And society as a whole pays for it, not only children suffer. They're not. They're not. But opponents could say that self-help among people, particularly young folks, has become a new trend in giving to charities or volunteers overseas. However, voluntary work can only be one way for many students and working people to become more visible and more "constructed." Substantial reason, behind their 'species of acts,' cannot be termed altruistic people, but they can only be viewed as greedy and egotistic. Lastly, greed and egotism may now distinguish people from others. Many individuals, especially young, are showing how gullible and self-conscious we are, with a ruthless behavior to exploit natural resources and egoistic attitudes. Devastating disasters and tragedies of nature caused by apathy and selfishness remind people of the harmfulness of greed and egotism. The good of mankind and the peace of our society are the prerogative of everyone to become more selfless and caring individuals.

Prepare a speech about cultural identity using what you've learned from the short
story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker.
Answer:
my previous draft which may give you a start
Hello, my name is ______, and today I'll be discussing Cultural Identity Swapping. Dee is a character in the short story "Everyday Use," and if you haven't read it yet, I recommend that you do so in order to gain a better understanding of culture and identity swap. Her name, Dee, represents a part of her ancestors' culture. She chose to change her name and culture so that no one would recognize her as an African American slave's child. She wanted to change her culture, so I looked into how simple it is to change one's cultural identity, and let me tell you, it's not easy. “Changing your cultural identity is harder than you think,” according to this website article. It's like starting a new school and finding out that no one likes you, so you can't make any new friends. All you have to do is keep your head down and avoid learning new things or making new friends. It's the same with culture; you try to change your cultural identity, but your cultural identity comes from your parents or ancestors, so it's not easy.” That said a lot to me. It demonstrates to me that you live your entire life with your cultural identity; you can change your normal identity, but when it comes to your culture, things go downhill quickly. It's a lot more difficult to work with team and traditions and activities than it was when your parents did so. entire culture just by changing her name. Now, you might think she got off easy, and I agree, but it was a symbol of her ancestry and all of that stuff that was passed down, so I imagine it was difficult to get over. At the end of the day, everyone is a completely different person. Thank you for taking the time to listen.
