The Cask of Amontillado
Summary
The narrator, Montresor, opens the story by stating that he has been irreparably insulted by his acquaintance, Fortunato, and that he seeks revenge. He wants to exact this revenge, however, in a measured way, without placing himself at risk. He decides to use Fortunato’s fondness for wine against him. During the carnival season, Montresor, wearing a mask of black silk, approaches Fortunato. He tells Fortunato that he has acquired something that could pass for Amontillado, a light Spanish sherry. Fortunato (Italian for "fortunate") wears the multicolored costume of the jester, including a cone cap with bells. Montresor tells Fortunato that if he is too busy, he will ask a man named Luchesi to taste it. Fortunato apparently considers Luchesi a competitor and claims that this man could not tell Amontillado from other types of sherry. Fortunato is anxious to taste the wine and to determine for Montresor whether or not it is truly Amontillado. Fortunato insists that they go to Montresor’s vaults.
Montresor has strategically planned for this meeting by sending his servants away to the carnival. The two men descend into the damp vaults, which are covered with nitre, or saltpeter, a whitish mineral. Apparently aggravated by the nitre, Fortunato begins to cough. The narrator keeps offering to bring Fortunato back home, but Fortunato refuses. Instead, he accepts wine as the antidote to his cough. The men continue to explore the deep vaults, which are full of the dead bodies of the Montresor family. In response to the crypts, Fortunato claims to have forgotten Montresor’s family coat of arms and motto. Montresor responds that his family shield portrays "a huge human foot d’or, in a field azure; the foot crushes a serpent rampant whose fangs are imbedded in the heel." The motto, in Latin, is "nemo me impune lacessit," that is, "no one attacks me with impunity."
Later in their journey, Fortunato makes a hand movement that is a secret sign of the Masons, an exclusive fraternal organization. Montresor does not recognize this hand signal, though he claims that he is a Mason. When Fortunato asks for proof, Montresor shows him his trowel, the implication being that Montresor is an actual stonemason. Fortunato says that he must be jesting, and the two men continue onward. The men walk into a crypt, where human bones decorate three of the four walls. The bones from the fourth wall have been thrown down on the ground. On the exposed wall is a small recess, where Montresor tells Fortunato that the Amontillado is being stored. Fortunato, now heavily intoxicated, goes to the back of the recess. Montresor then suddenly chains the slow-footed Fortunato to a stone.
Taunting Fortunato with an offer to leave, Montresor begins to wall up the entrance to this small crypt, thereby trapping Fortunato inside. Fortunato screams confusedly as Montresor builds the first layer of the wall. The alcohol soon wears off and Fortunato moans, terrified and helpless. As the layers continue to rise, though, Fortunato falls silent. Just as Montresor is about to finish, Fortunato laughs as if Montresor is playing a joke on him, but Montresor is not joking. At last, after a final plea, "For the love of God, Montresor!" Fortunato stops answering Montresor, who then twice calls out his enemy’s name. After no response, Montresor claims that his heart feels sick because of the dampness of the catacombs. He fits the last stone into place and plasters the wall closed, his actions accompanied only by the jingling of Fortunato’s bells. He finally repositions the bones on the fourth wall. For fifty years, he writes, no one has disturbed them. He concludes with a Latin phrase meaning "May he rest in peace."

stupid edgar allan poe notes
this one is short, but has the most stuff in it
"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a first person narration of an unnamed narrator who insists he is sane but suffering from a disease which causes sharp senses The old man with whom he lives has a clouded, pale, blue “vulture-like" eye which scares the narrator that he plans to kill the old man. The narrator insists that his careful precision in committing the murder shows that he cannot possibly be insane. For seven nights, the narrator opens the door of the old man's room, a process which takes him a full hour. However, the old man's vulture eye is always closed, making it impossible to do the deed.
On the eighth night, the old man awakens and sits up in his bed while the narrator performs his nightly ritual. The narrator does not draw back and, after an hour, decides to open his lantern. A single ray of light shines out and lands precisely on the old man's eye, revealing that it is wide open. Thinking he hears the old man's heartbeat beating unusually loudly from fear, the narrator decides to strike, smothering the old man with his own bed. The narrator proceeds to chop up the body and hide the pieces under the floorboards. The narrator makes certain to hide all signs of the crime. Even so, the old man's scream during the night causes a neighbor to call the police. The narrator invites the three officers to look around, confident that they will not find any evidence of the murder. The narrator brings chairs for them and they sit in the old man's room, right on the very spot where the body was hidden, yet they suspect nothing, as the narrator has a pleasant and easy manner about him.
The narrator, however, begins to hear a faint noise. As the noise grows louder, the narrator comes to the conclusion that it is the heartbeat of the old man coming from under the floorboards. The sound increases, though the officers seem to pay no attention to it. Shocked by the constant beating of the heart and a feeling that the officers must be aware of the sound, the narrator confesses to killing the old man and tells them to tear up the floorboards to reveal the body.
Annabel lee is long, but is mostly just description. this is mainly what happens.
The poem's narrator describes his love for Annabel Lee, which began many years ago in the kingdom by the sea.. Though they were young, their love for one another burned with such an intensity that the angels became jealous. For that reason, the narrator believes, she was killed. Even so, their love is strong enough that it extends beyond the grave and the narrator believes their two souls are still together. Every night, he dreams of Annabel Lee and sees the brightness of her eyes in the stars. He admits that every night he lies down by her side in her tomb by the sea.

Part 4- Pages 144-178
Plot
Part four begins with several headlines revealing Josh. Josh Swensen apparently died that day without knowing it. At first the media attention was good- meeting Bono, not having to worry about secrecy. But then things started turning for the worse. To use his own words, Larry became a product. Even at home things turned sour. Peter yelled at him for using his information to conrol millions, insulting his father, threatening to move. Peter is out of control (pgs. 151-155). Josh talks about Beth totally ignoring him, until one day he sneaks into the store. He helps her do inventory, and Beth wonders how she could have failed to see it. Josh then retires to his hideout in the woods (pgs 156-159). In a short amount of time, books on Josh were out, the website had been closed down, and companies were approaching Josh to endorse their products. His life is being consumed (pgs 160-162). Josh meets Beth at the cemetery, and she tells him that she is going to Seattle. They bicker, and then Josh learns that she had feelings for him as much as he had for her. She then leaves, and Josh is left saring at a banner for a company who had not asked for endorsement but went ahead anyway (pgs 163-168). Josh can no longer even leave the house for fear of assault by the media. Josh is stuck watching analyzations of himself. When the mailman comes to deliver the five bags of post, they switch outfits and Josh leaves and goes to Bloomingdale’s. Josh’s mother offers suicide, and Josh realizes that the connection is gone (pgs. 169-172). Several signs are telling Josh that his mother had given him good advice - the tarot card with death, the photos of the cemetery. He left on his bike for Sagamore bridge to see what it would be like to jump. He realizes he couldn’t do it (pgs 173-175). However, when playing with Greek word roots the next day, he chances upon a combination that might make sense in his life - pseudocide, to pretend to kill yourself. He gets onto his computer and starts planning (pgs 176-178).

Plot
Josh checks into a hotel near Boston to watch the reaction to his suicide. He imagined the reactions of his family. A shoe of his turns up on the shore. He doesn’t even recognize himself anymore.

To his surprise, even Beth contributes. He watches Peter dig the grave alone, and feels closer to him because of it (pgs 199-205). He goes to his own grave, sits at a tree, and thinks. He goes to see Beth. He is ready to leave Massachusetts as Tom (pgs 206-209). Then the stories start. A person is claiming Larry as the father of her baby, sixteen people come claiming they’re Larry’s true father, Larry was behind the Olahoma bombing. He knew he couldn’t go back, or the lawsuits would keep him in court his whole life. He switched towns, names, and disguises every few days. He decided to write out his story (pgs. 210-215). After finishing the manuscript, he goes to visit Walden Pond, where he has never been before. He realizes that if the story was published, he would our himself. He realized he could still change the world-just from a smaller scale (pgs 216-219). In the author’s note, Ms. Tashjian talks about getting the story published and how it has changed her. Of course, she maintains that it is not fiction, and the story ends with her and her son watching a plane write “LARRY COME HOME” in the clouds (pgs. 223-227).
