1. Read this passage from "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe. Then, answer the following question(s).
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 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

the recruiter called me, it was a middle age man, demanding looking one. as soon as he saw me entering the room he looked at me and said: “i am sorry, you are not the type of person we are looking for. it is for the reception and we need someone with different physical appearance”  

i felt like if a train had run over me. i felt miserable. he didn´t even asked me a question nor check on my skills! a pretty face and a perfect body was just as perfect for the position.

when i got home i cried for a long time until my tears dried from my being, then i told myself:   you are who you are, no one can tell you that you are not good enough because of your physical appearance. your intelligence will last forever! bodies age, faces disappear, but you   will always be
