Your challenge for today is to complete the following:
Locate 2 websites that provide the whole short story, The Cask of Amontillado, by Edgar Allen Poe.
Post the web address, site name, and site author for EACH site in the comments section of your Wise Wildcats blog. (Hint: This requires multiple windows to be open to move easily back and forth for copying and pasting.)
Choose one sentence (not the first sentence) from your first site with the story, and copy it into the your blog comment under its web address (URL) or name.
Find the same sentence on the other website and copy it under its web address (URL) or name. Hint: Use the Edit/Find feature for searching in Safari to find the sentence quickly.)
Post/upload the comment!
Extra challenge: What does URL stand for?
What did this challenge help me learn? Checking one site’s information against another is a beginning step to critical evaluation.

thanks for helping see you some other day
It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.
THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat.
It was about dusk, one evening during the supreme madness of the carnival season, that I encountered my friend. He accosted me with excessive warmth, for he had been drinking much. The man wore motley. He had on a tight-fitting parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells. I was so pleased to see him that I thought I should never have done wringing his hand.
He had a weak point — this Fortunato — although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared.
He had a weak point — this Fortunato — although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. He prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. Few Italians have the true virtuoso spirit. For the most part their enthusiasm is adopted to suit the time and opportunity, to practise imposture upon the British and Austrian millionaires. In painting and gemmary, Fortunato, like his countrymen, was a quack, but in the matter of old wines he was sincere. In this respect I did not differ from him materially; –I was skilful in the Italian vintages myself, and bought largely whenever I could.

He turned towards me, and looked into my eyes with two filmy orbs that distilled the rheum of intoxication.
Montresor chains Fortunato to the wall, builds a new wall to seal him in, and leaves him to die. http://www.enotes.com/cask-amontillado/
