It's not nice to mock the students...
...but I'm going to anyway.
So, for the short story unit, I had the students read "The Cask of Amontillado" and "Araby," among others.
So, question 4 on the unit quiz was, "What is the setting of "The Cask of Amontillado"?
The answer one gave: "At Carnival in Ireland on a dead-end street."
Which produced a sheer mind-frell of squishing Edgar Allan Poe and James Joyce into the same short story.
Not that they wouldn't get along... Neither one was happy unless he was miserable...

And "The Cask of Amontillado" is one of Jon's absolute favorites. He'll die to read this, I can guarantee you that.
