What is the most important element of a good story? Although interesting characters, engaging plot development and didactic story lines certainly embellish the story, one could argue that the setting is the most crucial. Not only does the setting provide a baseline of necessary background information, it can also be used to enhance the story, just like the other elements listed. Edgar Allan Poe certainly takes advantage of this in “Hop Frog”, “The Cask of Amontillado”, and the “Masque of the Red Death”. In each of these stories, gruesome horrors occur, and because of the ingenious way Poe uses and manipulates the setting to his advantage, these stories’ horrors are amplified. In “Hop Frog” and “The Cask of Amontillado”, the main characters

It is divided into two districts, named after the mountain ranges that surround the park; named the Tuscan and Rincon. The saguaro cacti are very important to this ecosystem. In fact, the ecosystem is named after this massive cactus that calls this place its home. One very important organism that lives in the Saguaro desert is the horned lizard.
The relationship of the three species and their ancestors can be summarized by looking at the fossils above. It is evident that all of these three species possess fangs and other types of sharp, prominent teeth.

However, there is some difference in the shape of the head. The coyote possesses a straighter jaw and more angular head. The wolf, on the other side, has a wider denture similar to the fox.

Michael DuBois Mrs. Ermis English 1302.NO2 10 April, 2016 Revenge at its Finest Like most of Edgar Allan Poe’s work the concept behind both of these stories is the themes of death and revenge. In both “The Cask of Amontillado” and “Hop Frog”, Poe makes it a point to reveal the struggles of both characters and that they seek revenge for what has happened in their past. In “Hop Frog” he decides he has had enough when the king slaps his friend Trippetta for sticking up for him. Along with all the vicious jokes and torture that he puts on both Hop Frog and Trippetta, the physical abuse was just the thing that puts Hop Frog over his limit. In the short story “The Cask of Amontillado”, Montresor seeks revenge on Fortunato for the rude embarrassing

Jolene imagines herself riding the motorcycle and puts herself in the Canadian Johns’ place: “I only want to have sex with this Canadian guy when we’re going seventy miles around curves, not when he turns around” (Lopez 125).

However, each monster is like a combination of several qualities and characteristics that are matched in different ways to form the monsters that appear in myths such as Hercules, Bellerophon, and Perseus. All monsters have very distinct looks that make them inferior to humans. Generally, they are a mixture of two or more different animals such as snakes, lions, or humans and they may have multiple heads. For example, Cerberus was a horrific three-headed dog that had the tail of a dragon and his back was covered with snakes. Several monsters have some part of them from a snake.

For example the green iguana has 19 to 29 on their lower jaw and 20 to 30 on the upper jaw (Jacobson, 2003). The most common tooth type in lizards is pleurodon dentition, these are very loose because they are not in sockets. Some lizards also shed their teeth and replace them throughout their lives (Fraser and Girling, 2011). Most insect eating lizards do not chew their food, they ingest it as a whole whereas herbivorous lizards tear and chew up the vegetation before ingesting it (Grenard, 1998). The lizard has a jacobson organ in the roof of their mouth, this assists with the lizards ability to taste the environment (Aspinall and Cappello,
