English 113-102, Short Story 2, "The Cask of Amontillado" Impunity?

            In "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edger Allen Poe, impunity was mentioned when the narrator wanted revenge for Fortunado's insults.  In the story the main character used impunity to describe his enjoyment of causing Fortunado to suffercate or suffer overall for the actions Fortunado caused the killer.  I can relate to the killer's impunity but not to the extream of death.

         Working at a retailer as an associate has it's advantage and disadvantage.  The easy thing about the job is the amount of knowledge required is less, don't have to deal with rough customers most of the time, and the work load might be less stressful.  The down side is the work hours, pay, or supervisors.  So, a higher up manager has a lot of power and tends to abuse it when he gets the chance. 
        
          The manager got their good times and bad times, but when you are stuck with a idiodic supervisor there isn't much you can do except suck it up, and do the job.  I as an annoying employee, complained and got the manager off my back, and filled with impunity I laughed in my head repeating to myself he has no more right to be retarded(excuse my use of language, it was not intended to disrespect anyone).

English 113-102, Short Story 1(The Lottery), TALK ABOUT TRADITIONS!

            So in class we were discussing how winning the lottery in the story The Lottery, was a practice tradition.  In the story, winning the lottery was practice a lot and being the winner isn't particularly a good thing to win because the winner gets stone to death as a sacrifice for a good year.  Traditions are like rituals practiced and pasted down through generations.  In contras to The Lottery, my culture still follow an old tradition of a dowery(exchanging money or merchants for a girl's hand in marrage), which I'm not to fond of(but it's Kool.  I guess...).
 
            In the United States, dowery is against the law so is smoking crack, but people still do them.  In this case I don't care to much for the law, but that doesn't mean I'm a bad citizen.  I grew up in an American pop culture liking the idea of an American wedding and being told I have to pay for my future wife to top it all off isn't funny.  If I date someone out of my culture and religion, I could escape the traditional dowery, but in my case that doesn't look like escape is an option.  No one is really going to force me, and so I will give a dowery out of curtousy.  My culture clash with the American culture is slowly changing ours; breaking old traditions forcing our culture to adapt, and survive under U. S. regulations.
  
           So can money really buy love?  Not sure, but I think it can.  Don't get it confused with money buying happyness.  I love my culture so I won't break some old traditions.  There are many from my culture whom has broken the traditions already so I'm releaved the elders are more understanding than they were back in their old home country.
