Kinda the problem with accessing these stories via technology. Like I read this back in HS and loved it. I’m just here to re-experience a good story after ten years. I always want to look through the comments for the other English Major nerds discussing it but nah, just whining about having it as an assignment. Let me enjoy literature, dammit!
Graduated 12 years ago and I still love this story. Good luck to you kiddos here. Don't underestimate how important that diploma is. Cask of Amontillado is good too :3
Christopher Edwards no i just read it a week ago and it’s about some dude who gets revenge on some other dude for insulting him and he used amontillado wine to lure him in and kills him
I'm glad I'm not the only freshman here. As someone who's loved the Hunger Games for a long time now, I can't believe that it was based loosely off of the story. I basically love anything I'm given to read, but this story is exceptional. I've never seen such a refreshing and satisfying ending.
pov: you’re a freshman assigned to read this, but you didn’t want to so you looked it up on youtube for a summary. yet you found the audio book and figured that was better
Today we were reading this in my class. And my teacher show a picture of a man as an example of how the general looked. The girl who sits next to me said "huh he's hot, I'll let him hunt me" 🤣🤣 the teacher just laughed, it was hilarious. 🤣🤣😂🤣 After that I didn't payed attention to the rest of the story and that's why I'm listening to this. But it's not like I'm actually listening coz I'm writing this, and the sad part is that no one cares about my story. Have a nice day... 😅lol
Not doing homework, got out of college years ago. Here to revisit this masterpiece. It's a model short story and I wish I had absorbed it when I was younger, though I do remember the impact of the ending.
Zac Jak uggg i am a 6th grader I hope don't have to do this in 9th grade I am in advanced and don't like reading yet they put me in advanced every year😒
Hell yeah man. I loved this story because of how the game ironically changes rainsford from a morally superior man to a cold blooded killer - just like zaroff
@Kurtis Stevens well it’s not exactly a novel, the actual story as I remember it is only like 15 to 20 pages max. But then again it HAS been a long time since I read it, so… V(•^•)V
You don't have to read anything at all if it's been put on audio. Still, you lose something by just listening. At least when you're reading it, every character and situation comes alive in your mind. It becomes your own private movie, built to your own specifications.
This was one of my assignments in one of my classes, I wanted to hear the audio so I don’t have to read but when I finished the audio I was shocked and I didn’t know this story was very interesting and I actually liked, finally a story that my school gave to work on was enjoyable!
my english teacher is making each group of tables do a short story and my group got this story and when we got the packet to read it i refused to but listening to this audio makes it interesting.. we have to present it in front of the class too once we are done with all we need to get done.
I was never assigned this in school. I don't recall how I first came across it, but I read it in my middle teens, and have read it several times since. It's good to find it here, so I can just kick back and listen to it. 🖖
I was assigned to read this way back in my 8th grade class (Many several years ago now), and often come back to this story because it's, to me, just a really good read.
William Anthony idk bout this dude but I can’t concentrate by reading so audiobooks are really helpful and keep me from going off task or skimming through the text cause I have a bad habit of doing that
suny123boy1 are you a fucking idiot? they said they read it & are listening to it again.. for someone leaving all these smartass comments everywhere you seem to be not the most intelligent
I’ve been reading since I was 6. Starting with short stories and poems by authors like Edgar Allen Poe and Ray Bradbury. But, to this very day, I have never read a book as fascinating as this. Mr Cornell did a phenomenal job writing it as did you reading it. I actually lost my copy of the book some time ago and didn’t have the money to repurchase it. And so, I found myself on RUclips searching for the audiobook variants.
It might amaze you, but some reading assignments are worth the time involved. The written word can be the most wonderful of journeys, taking you to places where imagination knows no limits!
It’s a cool story but school ruins it by making us analyze it and giving all these assignments so I learn to hate most of the stories we read at school
I know it's so dark, but I really like this story. I first heard it last year (Pre-COVID) and I always thought it was interesting and slightly eye openeing.
Guess I’m the only one here who read this short story 15 years ago as a freshmen and decided it was so good he had to come back to hear the story again while he sits in his very boring office job? Stay in school kids.
We were using this in class to read this story, the voice is so soothing. It also helped because I forgot my book at school and it's the weekend, so I searched this up on youtube and finishing this! 😂
Not from english subject, im trying to learn how to write short stories because i aspire to be a great writer. Edit:Well it is good but i cant understand why people say it's freaky anyone could know what would happen a mile away.
For any 9th graders watching this, search up the name of the book and the word summary next to it and then download “NaturalReader” it will read the summary for you fast

Y’all are just trying to justify your flagrant piracy just except it like the rest of us.
It's not a book, it's a damn short story, and if you're too lazy to read it, you're probably too lazy to appreciate it.
Freshman here. I didn’t realize that this book has been assigned across so many years, and so many schools…
Dude I search audio book on every short story assignment if there are any

Graduated 12 years ago and I still love this story. Good luck to you kiddos here. Don't underestimate how important that diploma is. Cask of Amontillado is good too :3
isn't that the one where the 10 year old mexican kid immigrats to California? ( I should say the kid was Amontillado, I think)
Christopher Edwards no i just read it a week ago and it’s about some dude who gets revenge on some other dude for insulting him and he used amontillado wine to lure him in and kills him
well im learning a great way to help exersize the people in my basement
I READ THAT BEFORE THIS BOOK OMG THAT IS GOOD
We read the cask of amontillado last week. I really liked it.
