Both stories are an answer to insult. The "Cask of Amontillado" begins by seeking revenge of Fortunado for insulting companionship and introduction of "Never bet the devil your head" is an outraged response to all moralists. As the stories progress both men fall to tragic endings, loosing more then what they gain on the quest to fulfilled justice.

What is meaning of the phrase a wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser?
It is a very complicated way of saying that if you put something right you should not get in trouble for doing so.It is very poor English. It just looks clever. Really clever English should be clear to the average reader.It's from E.A. Poe The Cask of Amontillado.. a wrong is not corrected when retribution overtakes its corrector. Poe had extremely large vocabulary, and he often used obscure words because of the way they sounded. I wouldn't call it poor English.
What is hand drawn beer?
It is a beer that is pumped from the keg rather than dispensed using the more modern CO2 dispensing system. This results in a beer having a softer flavor due to the lower content of CO2. +++ Not sure what you mean by "softer" flavour. The gas doesn't affect the flavour because it has no flavour of its own. However it will make the drink slightly fizzier, especially if served over-chilled - which reduces the flavour by damping the sense of taste anyway. (Beers should be served cool, not chilled to near freezing-point, unless you like it insipid!) There is though a more important difference. Cask-conditioned beers (to give the technical description) still contain a trace of live yeast which feeds on the sugar in the beverage to produce the CO2 naturally, and without which the beer would be "flat", though not to the extent necessary to force the beer from cask to pump by its own pressure. Keg beers are filtered and pasteurised so need the CO2 injection to give them sparkle as well as dispensing lift. Incidentally there is a curious North-South divide in England, over the "head", or froth of CO2 bubbles, on the served beer. [Odd - the font size suddenly changed.] Northern drinkers swear blind that the ale is "flat" without it; Southerners prefer, or at least are happy, to have no head on their beer. In fact there is no difference, as long as the liquid reaches the legal line on the glass: the head is produced artificially by a dispensing nozzle that forces the gas to effervesce. It's a matter of preference rather than quality.
When was embalming started?
the treatment of a dead body so as to sterilize it or to protect it from decay. For practical as well as theological reasons a well-preserved body has long been a chief mortuary concern. The ancient Greeks, who demanded endurance of their heroes in death as in life, expected the bodies of their dead to last without artificial aid during the days of mourning that preceded the final rites. Other societies, less demanding of their greats, developed a wide variety of preservatives and methods to stave off decay or minimize its effects. Corpses have been pickled in vinegar, wine, and stronger spirits: the body of the British admiral Lord Nelson was returned from Trafalgar to England in a cask of brandy. Even the Greeks sometimes made concessions: the body of Alexander the Great, for example, was returned from Babylon to Macedonia in a container of honey. The application of spices and perfumed unguents to minimize putrefaction was so common a practice that the English word embalming had as its original meaning "to put on balm." Generally, however, the word is used to describe a less superficial procedure, the introduction of agents into the body to ensure preservation.
What does the American flag mean to the people?
Not sure but this is what i do know. The stars and stripes of the American flag originated as a result of a resolution adopted by the Marine Committee of the Second Continental Congress at Philadelphia on June 14, 1777. The resolution read:Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field representing a new constellation. The resolution gave no instruction as to how many points the stars should have, nor how the stars should be arranged on the blue union. Consequently, some flags had stars scattered on the blue field without any specific design, some arranged the stars in rows, and some in a circle. The first Navy Stars and Stripes had the stars arranged in staggered formation in alternate rows of threes and twos on a blue field. Other Stars and Stripes flags had stars arranged in alternate rows of four, five and four. Some stars had six points while others had eight. Strong evidence indicates that Francis Hopkinson of New Jersey, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, was responsible for the stars in the U.S. flag. At the time that the flag resolution was adopted, Hopkinson was the Chairman of the Continental Navy Board's Middle Department. Hopkinson also helped design other devices for the Government including the Great Seal of the United States. For his services, Hopkinson submitted a letter to the Continental Admiralty Board asking "whether a Quarter Cask of the public Wine will not be a proper & reasonable Reward for these Labours of Fancy and a suitable Encouragement to future Exertions of a like Nature." His request was turned down since the Congress regarded him as a public servant.
