Read this passage from The Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe. Then, answer the following
questions:
The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult
vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave
utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely settled - but the very
definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but
punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally
unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had van Fortunato come to do my dood
will. I continued, as was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive
at the thought of his immolation."
"impunity: freedom from consequences

nkfkjwqeagkbjwejkfnkl,k
Explanation:
Answer:
I walk down the dark alley, occasionally looking over my shoulder to ensure that I am not being followed. I hear the soft tap of my shoes on the cold hard concrete and the occasional yell of a person from behind the walls on either side of me. I keep walking, knowing that I must reach my destination, or suffer the consequences. I continue walking for several minutes, and for every step I take, my stomach turns more and more. I am making a decision that could very well ruin my family, but what more have I to lose? We have lost our money, and the name VanSickle no longer means anything. I stand in front of a door the is purposefully left slightly ajar. I push it with my foot, careful not to lose the items in my hands as I step past the threshold into a room that smells like death. That is because this is where all the previously wealthy families have gone to watch their future die, but better my future than me.

Sexual harassment in the workplace is a hush-hush crime that is never spoken about due to fear and many other reasons. It is a problem that both men and women of any age face in any sort of job. Most stay silent about it in fear of losing their jobs or being demoted but this is something that should be stopped. We need to speak up about such things and try to influence a safer environment for everyone.
