Question

I have to write a book review on a captivity story that I've read. The instructions are:

'Choose a captivity story you know or have read, and share your findings about it in the form of a book review. Summarize the reason for the captivity, the main events of the captivity, and how the captive felt about the jailers. How was this captivity different from A Man Called Horse? [short story]. It should be atleast 2 paragraphs long'

I havn't read a captivity story other than A Man Called Horse, and since that's the one the book is focusing on I can't use it. Can I get a link to a short captivity story that I can answer all these questions about?

Thanks

Answer 5

It's captivity, yes. By the end of the story, it's clear that Fortunato is under Montresor's control since they enter "the vaults" (huge underground space serving as a wine cellar among other things!).

Answer 6

Certainly! I can help you find a short captivity story that you can use to write your book review. There are several online platforms where you can find short stories for free. One popular website is Project Gutenberg (www.gutenberg.org). This website offers a vast collection of public domain books, including short stories.

To find a short captivity story on Project Gutenberg, follow these steps:

1. Open your web browser and go to www.gutenberg.org.
2. On the homepage, click on the 'Search Book Catalog' link.
3. In the search box, type "captivity story" and press Enter.
4. You will be presented with a list of search results related to captivity stories.
5. Browse through the list and find a short story that interests you.
6. Once you have found a suitable story, click on the title to access the full text of the story.
7. Read the story, take notes on the reason for the captivity, main events, and the captive's feelings about the jailers.

Remember to choose a story that you find intriguing and can provide enough material to write a comprehensive book review. After reading the story, you can use your findings to summarize the reason for the captivity, the main events, and how the captive felt about the jailers. Then, you can compare and contrast this captivity with the one in "A Man Called Horse" to fulfill the last requirement of your assignment.

I hope this helps you find a suitable story for your book review. Good luck with your writing!
