An eager desire which I wanted to achieve in my life was being the best master connoisseurship in wine. No one could be the best except I, not my fellow, Luchesi, nor my shadow. Luchesi was the fool person who did not know anything about wine, he was a donkey. His fate in this world was as same as Montersor had - a stupid person who I had ever met. Montersor thought that he was a plummy person who had all things he wanted in his life. It was only a stupid person who thought that I was a good best friend. No! He said I was a good brother. Ha ha ha ha! – he was too foolish to make a brotherhood relationship with me. I hoped he did not know that I only take a profit from him. I only wanted his money as I was too stingy to use my money.
It was about dusk, one evening during the supreme madness of the carnival season. Oh, my God! What a plummy person he was! I only thought about him and I met him now. I accosted him.
“My dear Fortunato, you are luckily met. How remarkably well you are looking today! But I have received a pipe of what passes for Amontillado, and I have my doubts.”, he said with a passionate intonation as usual.
“Amontillado?”
“Yes. But I am frantic that I buy the wrong one. Perhaps, it is not Amontillado, my dear. I am on my way to Luchesi to tell about this.”
“Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from sherry. I am the only one who know, I am the master connoisseurship who you know. Let me prove it!”
“Oh, thank you my best brother, how kind of you!”
Ha ha ha ha! Luchesi did not allow to taste the Amontillado before I. Montresor was too stupid about this as I thought before. After I knew the place, I would take The Amontillado from him.
Montresor, Montresor, you were too stupid.

POSITIVE EFFECTS OF LISTENING TO CLASSICAL MUSIC
Music has been a part of human’s life for a long time. It brings a lot of effects for the people who listen to music intensively. The good or bad effects which will emerge depend on the genre, the category of music based on its composition. A lot of scientists have researched this. Most of them find that classical music gives good effects for the people. From the researches, the classical music helps the people in many aspects such as psychology, health, and education.
Listening to classical music regularly affects the people’s psychological situation such as reducing stress, reducing anxiety, and increasing the motivation. The Kaohsiung Medical University in Taiwan made the experiments about reducing stress problem by listening to classical music for pregnant women in 2008. While the pregnant women were listening to the music, it reduced the stress levels. The classical music also reduces anxiety due to its rhythm and melodies are calm. It happens because the classical music affects our heartbeat and breath frequency. The classical music can also be a good media to motivate people in working. It makes people to think clearly and creatively thus they will be motivated to accomplish their work.
Several scientists have proven that the classical music’s effect can influence our healthy. It can reduce the epilepsy symptoms, high-blood pressure, and pain. By listening to the classical music, the epilepsy sufferers feel relieved because the epilepsy symptoms in their brains are reduced even in unconscious condition. To reduce the high-blood pressure’s symptoms, the doctors use the classical music as one of the therapy media. The music’s composition will reduce the blood pressure. Some hospitals provide the classical music listening program because it also reduces the patients’ pain. The music helps their body and mind relax although they are in the hospital with such uncomfortable atmosphere.
The classical music becomes more popular in education since it influences people’s intelligence. An experiment of Gordon Shaw from University of California at Irvine in 1988 proved that the classical music helps to stimulate the brain activities. Shaw’s experiment encourages other scientists to explore more about it. From the other researches, the classical music enhances linguistic and spatial abilities, which are the main base of learning. While people are listening to the music, the spatial pathways are turned on. However, the improving of spatial skill only lasts for about an hour after stopping listening to the music. Due to the rhythm of the music, people can improve their memory, information, and learning abilities. Laurence O’Donnell III has found that 60 beats per minute of the music activates both sides of brain; right and left hemisphere. It strengthens the other scientists’ researches who state that the classical music can improve the people’s intelligence.
In short, the effects of listening to music depend on the music’s genre. As we know, the negative effects should be avoided. Hence, people have to carefully choose the best music which can bring the positive effects.
