What evidence does Wiesel's use to support his argument that the United States was indifference to the Nazi concentration camps
Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel witnessed the unimaginable when he was only 15. And what he saw has defined his life ever since.
Wiesel was born in 1928 in Sighet, Transylvania (now Romania). His father was a community leader and a Zionist. His mother espoused the religious beliefs of her father, a Hasidic farmer. The young Wiesel studied Judaic texts, sang, played violin and dreamed of conducting an orchestra. Then in 1944, Hitler’s Final Solution reached his remote town. Wiesel’s family and neighbors were herded into cattle cars destined for concentration camps. Wiesel never saw his mother and one of his sisters again.

“In those places, in one night one becomes old,” Wiesel said during a recent interview in New York. “What one saw in one night, generations of men and women had not seen in their own entire lives.”
One night, Wiesel’s father, ill with dysentery, was swept away to the crematorium while his son slept in the bunk above. When he was liberated from the Buchenwald camp in 1945, Wiesel made a vow of silence not to speak or write about his experiences for 10 years.
“I wanted to be sure to find the words, the right words," Wiesel said. "I'm not sure I did. I have doubts. To this day I have doubts, because there are no words.”

This is so too bad Maddie. There is a disconnect between the background of Alice Walker and the last of the background pieces of information about Everyday Use.
I'm always enthralled by the relationship between children and parents, and so I find the conflict with Dee and the easy going flow between Maggie and her mother are a joy to read about. Every parent secretly wishes they had that easy flow between themselves and their children as Maggie and her mother have. I'm still a bit uneasy about answering because we don't know enough details to eliminate A B C or D. But we know enough, perhaps, to accept E.
Those quilts are seen through the eyes of 2 very different people: one who values living and the meaning of the lives lived and the other who sees objects as museum pieces that should be hung up on a wall and admired for themselves alone.
I'm hesitant about any answer unfortunately, but E is the only one that we have any knowledge about at all. Picking anything else is a guess.
Thank you for posting such interesting questions.

Which of the following is a point of view most likely shared by Roosevelt?
what???
Im confused
what do you need help with?
Roosevelt's point of view was that Americans need to be reassured that they will triumph, as evidenced by his 'Europe First' strategy and his transformation of the U.S. into the arsenal of democracy. Thus, option B is correct.
Based on the historical context surrounding President Franklin D. Roosevelt's policies and actions during World War II, the point of view most likely shared by Roosevelt among the given options would be B. Americans need to be reassured that they will triumph. Roosevelt's approach to the war, focusing on defeating Germany first as part of a 'Europe First' strategy and converting the United States into 'the arsenal of democracy,' reflected his belief in the necessity of victory and the role of the United States as a leader in the postwar world. He sought to reassure Americans and allied nations of their potential for triumph, as reflected in his demand for unconditional surrender from Axis powers and his vision for a world that would promote free trade and disband colonial empires.
Roosevelt's stance on America's involvement in the war and its position during and after the conflict was consistently one of confidence and resolve. Even as early concerns about American security arose following Japan's victories in Asia, Roosevelt maintained an outlook that America could and would prevail. This optimism, combined with strategies aimed at ensuring American and allied victory, speaks to Roosevelt's belief in eventual triumph over the Axis powers.
Write your own serious tone sentence on whether or not animals should be used in combat.
Answer:
News reports tally the casualties of war, and monuments are erected to honor fallen soldiers, but the nonhuman victims of war—the animals who are shot, burned, poisoned, and otherwise tormented in military experiments and training exercises—are never recognized, nor is their suffering widely publicized.
Published experiments and internal documents obtained from the armed forces reveal that U.S. military agencies test all manner of weaponry on animals, from bombs to biological, chemical, and nuclear agents. Military experiments on animals can be painful, repetitive, costly, and unreliable.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. "...But if you'll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while at first." White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper. And then an ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas! a quick feminine change to hysterical tears and wails, necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat. What can the reader infer about Della’s reaction to opening her gift? Della was so excited to have the combs she had wanted, that she momentarily forgets she has cut her hair. She cries as she realizes she will not be able to use them. Della excitedly opens her gift, and cries tears of joy when she realizes what Jim has bought for her. Della is at first excited to have the combs, then she cries because she knows they have cost Jim too much. Della is happy about receiving the gift, but she is worried that Jim will not be able to forgive her.
The reader can infer answer A). "Della was so excited to have the combs she had wanted that she momentarily forgets she had cut her hair."
You can find the reasons for that answer in words such as: scream of joy, feminine change to hysterical tears and wails. First, she was happy but then she remembers she won´t be able to use the combs.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
I wanted to know more about the beguiling Nina, and my cousin had plenty of stories to share. He told me that her grandfather was a Russian serf—a farmer who could be bought and sold by the noble who owned his land. Family legend has it that this serf, a remarkable and intelligent man, helped to change the course of the history of sugar. In the early 1800s, the British controlled most of the sugar plantations of the Caribbean and the sea routes to Europe. As a result, their rivals were desperate to find a new way to create sugar. They turned to beets.
What is the purpose of this passage?
A.)It explains why the person telling the story is fascinated with Russian history.
B.)It provides background on how a family from Russia got into the sugar business. C.)It explains that beets can be grown, processed, and refined into sugar for market.
D.)It reveals methods used by the British to maintain control of the sugar market.
The purpose of this passage is: B.) It provides background on how a family from Russia got into the sugar business.
The story Sugar Changed the World follows the evolution of the sugar business and the blood trail it left in human history. The production of sugar lead the slave trade market and caused the death of countless Africans exploited in cane plantations. The book follows its history from 7000 B.C. to the 21st century.
This exceprt serves to present the story of this Russian family, whose ancestor (the grandfather of the person telling the story) became a serf in the sugar business. A serf, according to the Cambridge dictionary, is a member of a low social class of farm workers who cannot leave the land where they work and who are ruled by the owner of the land.

PASSAGE:
JEANNETTE
KENNETH
DAD
MOM
(Setting: The Washington family’s kitchen)
JEANNETTE: I’ve perused this bevy of travel pamphlets and I have no inkling of where I want to go on vacation. I thought about attending a performance at the city’s amphitheater; however, the city will be in bedlam with the performance and the sporting event occurring simultaneously.
MOM: I didn’t find a worthwhile destination either.
KENNETH: I’ve concluded that we should embark on an exhilarating and exciting trip this year—something we’ve never done before
MOM: I don’t want to dismiss your idea, Kenneth, but where can find such an awe-inspiring experience?
KENNETH: I thought we could hike up Mount Whitney—it’s the highest peak in California. Because it’s located on the border of Inyo and Tulare counties, it’s also relatively close to home. Since we’re all strong athletes, I think that making the ascent is feasible.
JEANNETTE: (to Kenneth) That sounds like an awesome and memorable trip; however, there’s one problem with your plan—I suffer from acrophobia.
KENNETH: (with a look of befuddlement) Acro- what?
MOM: Acrophobia—it means that Jeannette suffers from a fear of heights. The root word phobia, meaning “fear of,” comes from the Greek word –phobos, which means “fearing.” Acrophobia is one of the most prevalent phobias in the country.
KENNETH: (to Jeannette) I recall a few years ago when we traveled on an airplane to Aunt Janice’s house—you were enthralled, peering out the window at the scene below.
JEANNETTE: I did have a tremendous time on the airplane; however, after that trip, my phobia gradually progressed, and now merely thinking about flying evokes terror and makes me squeamish. For me, riding the elevator to the top floor of a tall building is much like trekking up Mount Everest—it’s a gigantic feat of willpower.
MOM: Sometimes the best way to get over a fear is to face it. Perhaps we should try to climb the mountain so that Jeannette can tackle her fear. Do you think it would intolerable for you, Jeannette?
JEANNETTE: (with a look of trepidation) I don’t believe I would be very excited during the ascent, and I may not reach the apex; yet, I would savor the astonishing panoramic views. But what if I lost my composure and chose not to climb with you? I would be loath to jeopardize your trip.
DAD: Jeannette, we’re a family; we must always support each other. I believe that if you’re brave enough to attempt the climb, we should be more than willing to stop if you feel overwhelmed or extremely uneasy.
MOM: Just trying is an immeasurable accomplishment!
KENNETH: I’ll have a wonderful vacation as long as I get to view the noteworthy peak; everything else is secondary to me. What’s your verdict, Jeannette?
JEANNETTE: The thought of scaling a gigantic mountain is both scary and exhilarating. I must admit, the allure of Mount Whitney seems to trump my trepidation, and it would be incredible to overcome my fear. So, I suppose there is only one thing left to do—pack!
The universal theme dealt with in this passage is overcoming one's fears and adversities. Therefore, the correct option is B.
What is acrophobia?Acrophobia is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by an irrational and intense fear of heights.Jeannette suffers from acrophobia, and her family discusses how they can help her overcome it.

Read the following passage and write a brief paragraph that identifies:
- the subject of the passage
- the author's purpose for writing
- the intended audience
- the tone of the piece, and
- the perspective or point of view. Be sure that your paragraph has a topic sentence that identifies the subject, and provide evidence (quotes) from the excerpt to support each part of the analysis. "All great and honourable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and must be both enterprised and overcome with answerable courages. It was granted ye dangers were great, but not desperate; the difficulties were many, but not invincible. For though their were many of them likely, yet they were not certaine; it might be sundrie of ye things feared might never befale; others by providente care and ye use of good means, might in a great measure be prevented; and all of them, through ye help of God, by fortitude and patience, might either be borne, or overcome."
The English passage revolves around bravery and perseverance in tackling adversity. The author conveys an encouraging tone and presents a faith-based worldview to reassure readers that with courage and providential help, troubles, although plentiful, are not invincible.
Explanation:The subject of this passage revolves around the theme of bravery and perseverance in the face of adversity. The author's purpose for writing is conferred through the assertion that great actions are accompanied by great difficulties, and are achievable through courage, patience, and faith. This can be deducted from quotes such as 'All great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties...' The intended audience is indeterminate but seems to be directed toward individuals confronting challenges, with the message that these challenges are not insurmountable. The tone can be construed as inspiring and reassuring, emphasizing that courage and Providence can address or even preclude many of the problems people fear. This is evident from the quote 'It might be sundries of ye things feared might never befall; others by providence care and ye use of good means, might in a great measure be prevented'. The perspective is presumably from an author who holds a faith-based worldview, as seen in using terms like 'God' and 'providence care'.

In The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act V, when the doctor tells the waiting-gentlewoman to take from Lady Macbeth “the means of all annoyance,” it is because he fears that Lady Macbeth might a. be upset when she finds out she’s been sleepwalking. b. be guilty of a crime of treason. c. plan to leave Dunsinane. d. try to kill herself.
the answer is d. try to kill herself. the doctor is suspicious of something, but 'the means of all annoyance' most likely means anything she can harm herself with.
Answer:
d. try to kill herself.
Explanation:
In Act 5, scene 1, the doctor who is examining Lady Macbeth tells the gentlewoman to remove from her "the means of all annoyance." This is a reference to things that Lady Macbeth might hurt herself with. The doctor believes that Lady Macbeth is possessed, as he believes sleepwalking and sleeptalking to be supernatural events. He is worried that in such a state, she might want to kill herself. He reaches the conclusion that she is in need not of a doctor, but of a priest.

Write an essay that describes your favorite villain. Be sure to include details about the villain’s characteristics, and compare those traits to the hero’s characteristics.
I think that the Joker makes the best villain. Why does the Joker make the best villain, you may ask? Well, like his counterpart, the Batman, the Joker has no super power or special ability, but unlike the Batman he has no cause to do what he does. Not only that, but his blood alone, is, as I would put it, "pure evil in itself," as the toxins that he discharges out of his lapel flower are actually made from his own blood. Furthermore, the Joker is immune to poison, suggesting that his blood is poison.
The exact way he actually managed to use his blood as a toxic weapon is unknown. However, I presume it involves black magic and witchcraft. Since his blood is, as I called it before, "pure evil in itself," it would make sense if his blood would serve as the darkest most powerful priming fuel for black magic rituals involving blood magic. Blood magic is a form of black magic that uses blood as a power source. Not all rituals require blood as a power source, however, if you were to add blood, although it would make the ritual have a greater effect, it would also most likely, depending on the ritual, put you in contact with evil and/or angry spirits, instead of peaceful or neutral spirits, and abusing black magic can end up withering away all good in you, and consuming you with corruption, which is exactly what we see in the Joker.
Overall, the Joker creates mayhem for the sake of chaos, making him the most dangerous, ruthless and psychopathic villain we have ever seen.
To write an essay describing a favorite villain, identify the unique characteristics, compare them with the hero's traits and include elements of a profile essay through research.
Explanation:In response to your question, to write an essay that describes your favorite villain, you would first have to identify and understand the unique characteristics that make that villain appealing to you. Does the villain display a level of intelligence or cunning that outshines others? Does he/she carry a certain charm or charisma that makes him/her magnetic, despite their evil intentions?
Once you have a defined image and understanding of the villain, it's important to compare those characteristics with the hero's traits. Is the hero's strength a match for the villain's cunning? Does the hero's humility contrast with the villain's arrogance? Drawing these parallels and contrasts will make your essay more engaging and insightful.
Another aspect to consider is using elements of a profile essay. Profile essays focus on profiling a certain person, group, event or place. This would involve research which could be in the form of interviews or secondary resources from credible sources.
It's crucial to understand, however, that the depth and complexity of the villain can't be fully appreciated without equally looking into the hero's traits and vice versa. The dynamics between these two characters often form the crux of the story and highlight the overarching themes better.

Read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. Read the passage from "No Gumption": The one I most despised was, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." This was the battle cry with which she constantly sent me back into the hopeless struggle whenever I moaned that I had rung every doorbell in town and knew there wasn't a single potential buyer left in Belleville that week. After listening to my explanation, she handed me the canvas bag and said, "If at first you don't succeed..." Three years in that job, which I would gladly have quit after the first day except for her insistence, produced at least one valuable result. My mother finally concluded that I would never make something of myself by pursuing a life in business and started considering careers that demanded less competitive zeal. One evening when I was eleven I brought home a short "composition" on my summer vacation which the teacher had graded with an A. Reading it with her own schoolteacher's eye, my mother agreed that it was top-drawer seventh grade prose and complimented me. Nothing more was said about it immediately, but a new idea had taken life in her mind. Halfway through supper she suddenly interrupted the conversation. "Buddy," she said, "maybe you could be a writer." You will write one well-developed paragraph of at least 7-8 sentences. In your paragraph, identify one major idea in the memoir "No Gumption." Then identify one sentence in the passage that directly develops or refines that main idea. Explain how that sentence develops the main idea you identified. Make sure you are using specific evidence from "No Gumption" to support your ideas.
The answer is the following:
One major idea or theme of "No Gumption," by Russell Baker, is that one should set realistic expectations for oneself or others. A sentence that directly develops or refines the main idea is: "My mother finally concluded that I would never make something of myself by pursuing a life in business and started considering careers that demanded less competitive zeal." The sentence illustrates how Buddy's mother begins to change her mind about her son being a paperboy. In fact, he does not like selling newspapers at all. However, for three years his mother insists that he must keep trying. In the end, she gives up and starts to consider careers other than business that do not require great effort from Buddy. Finally, after reading his composition, she realizes that he could be a good writer.
