Wags of Wisdom with Crosby This week in English I, students learned from The Cask of Amontillado that arrogance can be a destructive force in relationships and that trusting people is important, but it can also make us vulnerable. Crosby’s Wag of Wisdom: “Be confident, but stay humble. Trust others, but use wisdom.” Just like a loyal dog, healthy friendships are built on respect, honesty, and care—not pride or trickery.
