I knew he had a background with horses, but it was extraordinary to witness how quickly and intuitively he brought a dramatic and potentially dangerous situation under control. My source, a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) paramilitary operator, leapt off his horse, positioned himself in the wide path, and deftly grabbed the reins of the thousand-pound animal as it charged by. A figure on horseback rounded the bend, the terrified rider hanging on for dear life as her horse galloped out of control, reins dangerously askew. Halfway into our outing, as we were riding along in the otherwise quiet forest, we heard screaming-unmistakably a woman’s voice. One interview took place on horseback up in the mountains, an off-the-grid location where that particular source felt comfortable speaking. Some interviews took place in sources’ homes, others in the anonymity of roadside diners. In reporting this book I sat for hundreds of hours with sources who recounted to me situations of sheer pandemonium and chaos entwined with the human will to survive and the intellectual challenge of not giving up hope. This is a nonfiction book about complex individuals working in treacherous environments populated with killers, connivers, and saboteurs. The nitre causes Fortunato to cough, and thus takes the wine to counter the effects even after being told by Montresor to go home. The two proceed towards Montresor’s burial vaults, which are exposed and filled with nitre. Montresor brings the idea of using Luchesi to taste Amontillado, but Fortunato suggests that he is not good enough for the task and regards him as a competitor as well. Montresor seeks to use Fortunato’s liking for wine in a bid to carry out his revenge in a way that curtails the risks of being identified. The story’s narrator, Montresor, opens up his revengeful motive towards Fortunato, his acquaintance, by claiming that he insulted him irreparably (Poe 1200). This paper will analyze the stylistic devices that Poe applies in the short story, “The Cask of Amontillado”. The narrative meets the qualities of a classic short story as theorized by Poe since it can be read in a single sitting. Poe’s work on this piece of literature has been considered as one of the world’s perfect short stories. “The Cask of Amontillado” is a story involving horror due to Montresor’s vengeful motive upon Fortunato. He is in his senior year in high school, and our story begins a few months from Christmas time, when Homer Jr., most call him Sonny, is instructed to go with his father to see his grandfather, who is in the hospital. It tells of how he managed with being the son of the local mining company’s superintendent. Hickam Jr., and elaborates on the story that he wrote previously, titled Rocket Boys. The Coalwood Way is a memoir written by Homer H. as this luminous memoir moves toward its poignant conclusion. Then, with the holidays approaching, trouble at the mine and the arrival of a beautiful young outsider bring unexpected changes in both the Hickam family and the town of Coalwood. Sonny, despite a blossoming relationship with a local girl, finds his own mood darkened by an unexplainable sadness. struggles to save the mine, and his wife, Elsie, is feeling increasingly isolated from both her family and the townspeople. The strains can be felt within the Hickam home, where Homer Sr. Homer “Sonny” Hickam and his fellow Rocket Boys are in their senior year at Big Creek High, and the town of Coalwood finds itself at a painful crossroads. With the same dazzling storytelling that distinguished his first memoir, Homer Hickam takes us deeper into the soul of his West Virginia hometown at a moment when its unique way of life is buffeted by forces of time and change. From the #1 bestselling author of October Sky comes this rich, unforgettable tale. For many poets, “Crush” holds the kind of mythic power that immortalizes without ever waning in wonder. At school, the book was passed around among friends, discussed in the hushed hallways amidst ongoing classes, on the grass at lunch, with our teachers in English class. At nearly every writing camp I attended during high school, “Crush” was referenced and quoted and revered by the teenaged poets around me. Others all around me believed it too, it seemed. As Louise Glück writes in the opening sentence of the poem forward, “This is a book about panic.” The kind of panic that drove Siken’s poetry held an urgency which I had never seen before, and although I was 14 and had never experienced real heartbreak, I felt that the world had been opened, and within its thin paper walls I had discovered why I loved poetry: The expression of emotions and experiences so intensely overwhelming, poetry was the only possible receptacle that would not lead to total self-destruction. We were assigned to read “Little Beast,” the third poem in the book, and, with an intensity more heightened than with any poetry I’d ever read before, I felt so completely consumed by the poem’s world that I almost believed I had been in, and destroyed by, love. I had first read the Yale Series of Younger Poets’ winning collection at a writing program when I was 14. In my last poetry class, we closed out the quarter by reading “Crush” by Richard Siken.
