This is what happens before the story begins in "The Cask of Amontillado", according to my imagination:
Fortunato had always been an arrogant man who loved to laugh at his friends' imperfections or mistakes in general. When Montresor first met him, he was amazed at how clever and generous that man seemed to be. However, such an impression quickly died out: Fortunato turned out to be a rude, unkind, bitter man. That was a huge disappointment for Montresor, who really treasured his friend, at least in the beginning of their friendship.
One day, the two friends were having a casual conversation, when suddenly Fortunato turned to Montresor and said to him: "I'm sure I'm better than you at anything; that's why you were so jealous whenever I came around that girl you fancied..." Montresor was shocked to hear that, to which he replied right away: "Jealous? What are you talking about?" Fortunato had a cynical smile on his face, and said next: "So you think I didn't notice how insecure you felt... Maybe you were afraid she would fall in love with me, not with you..." After hearing that, Montresor was oppressed with anger, and couldn't say a word since if he did so, he would probably burst out in tears of uncontrollable rage.
After having spent the following night in a state of agitated insomnia, Montresor had an idea: inviting Fortunato to go taste some wine in a place where no one would bother them and that would also be suitable for a sweet and irreversible revenge.

Answer:
Explanation:
In his letter from Birmingham jail, Martin Luther King tried to persuade the audience that his non violence belief is a good move to act against racism and oppression.
1. King directly addresses the audience which shows the clarity in his views and actions. He out across his points making several relative points and people understood them clearly and his letter got a lot of attention.
2. King used many allusions to prove his point. An allusion is used by an author referring something in his work to some historic or literary, or cultural details from outside the work. He took instances from Bible, stating what Jesus had preached. He also referred to Mahatma Gandhi who also believed in non violence and India got Independence. All these allusions are very effective as they convince the audience in proving his point as right.
3. King used his words to inspire people the most. It inspired the African-Americans to fight against the whites for their freedom. He said "We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham and all over the nation, because the goal of America is freedom". He also gives them hope that things are on their side and they will achieve their goals.
