There are many reasons why these would not be reported. Although sometimes the reason may be:
1.) When the sexual abuse (SA) can be inflicted by a family member or close family friend, this can lead to 2.) the victim being scared to tell adults or the authorities. Although sometimes, the reason the victim is scared (if it's a child) to report it because the parent is the inflictor.
3.) Often times, when SA is inflicted by a sibling, parent, or family friend, the victim is afraid to report it because they may believe it's their fault it's happening to them (they're fault they're sexually abused) or they may feel weird because of it.
4.) When Gender-based violence (GBV) occurs, it's usually between children (teens mostly) at school or outside of safe places such as home. The reason this is not reported because many times adults/authorities (such as teachers) don't take it seriously and the kids feel neglected because of this. This then leads to the child (when they're affected by the GBV in the future,) believing that no one cares and or it's not important and or wrong. Therefore, not reporting the act because of one neglectful adult.
The author's attitude toward the subject on which he/she is speaking.
attitude is everything like if you were hanging out with your best friend and your feeling down that just makes everyone else in a bad mood.
Answer:
Throughout the passage, the shift in the physical description of the landlady does impact the story's meaning. At first, when you hear what the landlady looks like, you'll think that she's not at all "wrong in the head", but as you progress through the story, the landlady morphs into a detrimental woman. When Billy sees the landlady at the start, he thinks that she " looked exactly like the mother of one’s best school-friend welcoming one into the house to stay for the Christmas holidays (29)". He basically thinks that she's just a kind woman who won't do him any harm. Later, "he caught a whiff of a peculiar smell that seemed to emanate26 directly from her person. It was not in the least unpleasant, and it reminded him — well, he wasn’t quite sure what it reminded him of. Pickled walnuts? New leather? Or was it the corridors of a hospital? (78)". He thought that she was "dotty", but he didn't care, nor does he really pay any close attention to how she acted or looked. All he thought was since she invited him to a place to stay for a good amount of money, she was welcoming and inviting, therefore, he assumed that she was innocent and not at all "wrong in the head". In the beginning, we all thought that this was going to be an innocent story where Billy enters a house and a landlady allows him to stay there. The landlady would mind her own business and be polite and Billy would be safe and just be there for a tiny bit, all happy and everything would be just fine. But no. As the story reveals more, it gets more twisted and dark. The landlady turns out to be purposefully poisoning Billy with tea and probably stuffing him later. All things will turn for a deadly end
