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...
