2T_Beginner_A1 & A2: 5th Session_ The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe

  Hi dear guys, 

It's time to post your 2nd comment about what you have read during this week:

Please, choose a question to answer from the following ones: 

a) Why do you think Prince Prospero preferred such extravagant designs for his palaces? 

b) If you had been there, would you have entered into the seventh apartment?

c) Why did the Red Death wear that costume to enter the abbey?

d) Imagine a different ending to this story.


Then,  interact with a partner.


Best,

Jimena Rivadeneira, MTEFL.

  1. b) Obviously If I had been there, I wouldn't have entered into the seventh apartment because It could be dangerous and I would have been afraid.I don't like so much the mysteries, Maybe If there were more people there, I would enter.

  2. In my end while the red-death was in the middle of the party mask suddenly, a hero discover a real intentions of this entity but, some person unfortunately fall sick. In that moment the prince realised that they are not safe while the pandemic exist. Then he chose of the best doctor an people that can be work in a cure, and the past of the years this cure can be improve until the pandemic was exterminated and finally all people can be happy again.

  3. c) Why did the Red Death use that disguise to enter the abbey?
    Because it is a masquerade party, although its costume is similar to that of death. In my opinion it was an outsider and I was upset, because all the people in the abbey are celebrating and the outsiders were suffering. He was there to infect them.

  4. Because he always liked to be extravagant, so he shut himself up with his friends to avoid the pandemic, making big parties and showing the great designs of the palace to pass the moment but death punished him with his life

    1. That's interesting but in my opinion the design of the abbey could be made because the citizens like the extravagant style.
