that I might hearken to it with the more satisfaction, I ceased my labours and sat down upon the bones.
It is troubling that Montresor shows no hesitation or guilt while listening to Fortunato’s cries. His enjoyment of the sound of chains reveals his cruelty and the disturbing pleasure he takes in revenge.
I had scarcely laid the first tier of my masonry when I discovered that the intoxication of Fortunato had in a great measure worn off. The earliest indication I had of this was a low moaning cry from the depth of the recess. It was not the cry of a drunken man. There was then a long and obstinate silence. I laid the second tier, and the third, and the fourth; and then I heard the furious vibrations of the chain. The noise lasted for several minutes, during which, that I might hearken to it with the more satisfaction, I ceased my labours and sat down upon the bones. When at last the clanking subsided, I resumed the trowel, and finished without interruption the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh tier. The wall was now nearly upon a level with my breast. I again paused, and holding the flambeaux over the mason-work, threw a few feeble rays upon the figure within.
It is surprising that Fortunato suddenly regains his awareness, but it is already too late for him to escape. Montresor’s calm reaction to his desperate struggle is unexpected and chilling.
Nemo me impune lacessit
This motto foreshadows Montresor’s plan for revenge. It warns that anyone who offends him will face punishment.
Looking as if she were alive. I call That piece a wonder, now: Frà Pandolf's hands
It’s interesting how he begins so calmly, just describing a painting — but there’s already something unsettling underneath. It makes me curious about what really happened to the Duchess.
Never to stoop. Oh, sir, she smiled, no doubt, Whene'er I passed her; but who passed without Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;
I was shocked by how easily he admits giving “commands”, as if ordering his wife’s death was just another act of pride. He sounds more offended by his wife’s kindness.
Then all smiles stopped together. There she stands As if alive. Will 't please you rise? We'll meet
The author's words appear calm, but I feel something terrible happened, like he ended his wife’s life without remorse.
While there are many different roles on a college campus that could be included in this list,advisors deserve a special place because they are crucial to your success; they are also the first place to gowhen a student has an issue. Some advisors spend considerable time with students to help them choose amajor and create a schedule each semester that will enable them to graduate. Others serve as a soundingboard for students who are struggling in a class and deciding whether or not to drop. Developing arelationship with your advisor has obvious benefits: They get to know what your goals are and can helpyou refine them
I used to think that the job of college advisors was only to help with class schedules, but now I see that they also give emotional support and guidance when students face problems. It’s interesting to know that building a relationship with an advisor can really make a big difference in college life.
John sinks down in his seat, afraid she is going to ask him questions as well. He pulls out his phone and looksthrough social media to keep her from bothering him. As other students enter the class, some quiet andothers talkative, John wonders if he will have to interact with them. Even though he has not met many peopleyet–and certainly has not had any deep conversations with anyone–he feels anxious about having to get toknow strangers and feels most comfortable keeping to himself at least fo
This situation shows how easily anxiety can keep someone from connecting with others. It’s sad that John feels the need to hide behind his phone instead of giving himself a chance to meet new people. It reminds me how difficult social situations can be when fear takes over, and how important it is to slowly build confidence to open up.
When you are feeling calm and nourished, you are going to look forward to your day, and despite howbusy it is, you will prioritize time with friends and family. If you don’t take care of and learn to love yourself,you will never be able to bring your best self to any relationshi
When we take care of ourselves, we have more energy and positivity to share with others. It made me realize that loving yourself is the first step to loving others. I used to think taking care of myself was less important than caring for others, but now I see how closely they are connected.
Es wird erwartet, dass der britische Premierminister Sunak in seiner nächsten Regierungserklärung eine Ausdehnung der Öl- und Gasförderung in der Nordsee und Maßnahmen zum Schutz von Autofahren, z.B. vor Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen in Städten, ankündigt. Durch seine anti-Umweltpolitik will sich Sunak von der Labour-Opposition absetzen, die im Augenblick in Großbritannien in Meinungsumfragen weit vor den Tories liegt. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/oct/28/rishi-sunak-to-double-down-on-anti-green-policies-in-kings-speech

Part I: Inventors
I've come to think that the purpose of part 1 of the book is part rhetorical device (ethos). David Lipsky is using it to build up some credibility as a writer. He's covering topics that many are likely somewhat knowledgeable about, but is adding some additional color, details, and information which most surely don't know. This has the effect of showing the depths to which he's researched the topics to be able to weave them into such a story.
This will tend to pay off as he begins addressing the potentially more contentious (for some) material in the climate crisis section.
There are several occasions where the massebah is not associated with pagan worship. When the massebah is associated with the worship of Yahweh, the massebah is accepted as a valid expression of commitment to Yahweh.
Massebah for pagan worship: - Exodus 23:24 (https://hypothes.is/a/r3m5QmyDEe6SC8eLYcJE1Q) - Hosea 10:1 (https://hypothes.is/a/4PK2GGyDEe6wZg_r2YpVCA ) - 2 Kings 18:4 - 2 Kings 23:14
Massebah for worship of Yahweh: - Genesis 28:18 Jacob's pillow (https://hypothes.is/a/NF5p8Gx6Ee65Rg_J4tfaMQ)<br /> - Genesis 31:44-45 Jacob and Laban's covenant - Exodus 24:4 - Joshua 24:25-27
