Answer:
The characterization of Fortunato speaks a lot about his personality. He is a drunkard and loves to wear jester-clothes. This characterization has its affects as because of his drunkardness, Montresor was able to lure him.
Explanation:
'The Cask of Amontillado' is a short Gothic story written by Edgar Allan Poe.
Fortunato is another main character in the story and the character on whom Montressor avenge himself. He's been described by Montressor in the story.
He is a 'wine-expert' which characterizes him as a drunkard. It was due to his addiction towards wine because of which he was caught in Montressor'ss trap for his own death. Montressor, cleverly, approaches Fortunato to help him to tasting of a rare wine which Montressor was able to get through a pipe.
Another characterization of Fortunato was his sense of dressing, he loves wearing jester-clothes.. When Montressor met him at carnival he was wearing a motley jester. His sense of wearing reveals that he is a 'funny fellow.' Even at the beginning of the story, Montressor states that Fortunato has <em>'inflcted him with thousand injuries.'</em>
These characterization of Fortunato helps the plot of the story reach it's conclusion, death of Fortunato. If he would not have been addicted to wine, Montressor would not have been able to lure him into his death trap. If he would not have been insensitive, he would not have 'caused Montressor thousand injuries which led Montressor to avenge on him.

Answer:
1. Hinojosa's mom's experience impacted Hinojosa's sense of who she is in many ways:
a. Hinojosa learned from her mom's experience that she needed to speak out to make herself visible and acceptable. "America is made up of many voices."
b. Hinojosa learned that "words are power." God created the world by His words: "let there be ..." You can only be heard by speaking out.
c. Hinojosa also learned that the form you use to speak out is immaterial. What is important is that you are able to speak out, no matter the media.
2. Hinojosa's experience of the United States is similar to mine in every respect. At each time, no matter my colour, I must be expressive to make myself heard and visible and to be myself. I have also learned that when I decide not to speak out, it is my own decision. I have not been forced to be silent. It is only acceptance of our colour differences that can make the US a great country. It is myopic to think that I am different from the other person just because of my colour. We are created equal in the insight of God.
3a. The stare I get when I arrive in white neighbourhoods of any U.S. city is always intimidating. I am of African descent, but brown in colour. Truly, I am different in colour and I have an accent. But, I think like a human being. I seek love. I seek understanding. I want to love and be loved. I want to understand and be understood. I did not choose where I should be born. I did not choose my parents, at least not consciously. We should learn not to blame God for the other. My colour and accent do not make me evil.
3b. I am always able to find my voice. I have learned that if you cannot love me, then you must fear me. That is your choice and not mine. It is your trouble and not mine. I do not need to prove myself before you can accept me. Accept me first, then I will prove that I am totally human.
