Answer:
It is with a profound sense of humility that I accept the honor you have chosen to bestow upon me. I know: your choice transcends me. This both frightens and pleases me.
It frightens me because I wonder: do I have the right to represent the multitudes who have perished? Do I have the right to accept this great honor on their behalf? … I do not. That would be presumptuous. No one may speak for the dead, no one may interpret their mutilated dreams and visions.
It pleases me because I may say that this honor belongs to all the survivors and their children, and through us, to the Jewish people with whose destiny I have always identified.
I remember: it happened yesterday or eternities ago. A young Jewish boy discovered the kingdom of night. I remember his bewilderment, I remember his anguish. It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed.
I remember: he asked his father: “Can this be true?” This is the twentieth century, not the Middle Ages. Who would allow such crimes to be committed? How could the world remain silent?
And now the boy is turning to me: “Tell me,” he asks. “What have you done with my future? What have you done with your life?”
And I tell him that I have tried. That I have tried to keep memory alive, that I have tried to fight those who would forget. Because if we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices.
And then I explained to him how naive we were, that the world did know and remain silent. And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe.
Of course, since I am a Jew profoundly rooted in my peoples’ memory and tradition, my first response is to Jewish fears, Jewish needs, Jewish crises. For I belong to a traumatized generation, one that experienced the abandonment and solitude of our people. It would be unnatural for me not to make Jewish priorities my own: Israel, Soviet Jewry, Jews in Arab lands … But there are others as important to me. Apartheid is, in my view, as abhorrent as anti-Semitism. To me, Andrei Sakharov‘s isolation is as much of a disgrace as Josef Biegun’s imprisonment. As is the denial of Solidarity and its leader Lech Walesa‘s right to dissent. And Nelson Mandela‘s interminable imprisonment.
There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for our attention: victims of hunger, of racism, and political persecution, writers and poets, prisoners in so many lands governed by the Left and by the Right. Human rights are being violated on every continent. More people are oppressed than free. And then, too, there are the Palestinians to whose plight I am sensitive but whose methods I deplore. Violence and terrorism are not the answer. Something must be done about their suffering, and soon. I trust Israel, for I have faith in the Jewish people. Let Israel be given a chance, let hatred and danger be removed from her horizons, and there will be peace in and around the Holy Land.
Yes, I have faith. Faith in God and even in His creation. Without it no action would be possible. And action is the only remedy to indifference: the most insidious danger of all. Isn’t this the meaning of Alfred Nobel’s legacy? Wasn’t his fear of war a shield against war?
There is much to be done, there is much that can be done. One person – a Raoul Wallenberg, an Albert Schweitzer, one person of integrity, can make a difference, a difference of life and death. As long as one dissident is in prison, our freedom will not be true. As long as one child is hungry, our lives will be filled with anguish and shame. What all these victims need above all is to know that they are not alone; that we are not forgetting them, that when their voices are stifled we shall lend them ours, that while their freedom depends on ours, the quality of our freedom depends on theirs.

Does anyone want to write about a personal narrative about a challenging point in your life?
In 2 complete paragraphs
I'm supposed to have a partner whos supposed to write it and I grade it, but shes kinda asleep and it's due （づ￣3￣）
Answer:
One challenging point in my life was last year. Last year I started having symptoms of depression, though i didn't know it at the time, and it hurt not just me but the people around me. I was very sad all the time and didn't know why.My grades fell and I turned to some unhealthy habits that caused me to lose a lot of friends and support from family. I even quit my sports team and let down my coaches and team mates which only made me feel even worse. Even though many people asked me what was wrong I delt with this all on my own because i was too scared to tell anyone how I felt. I didn't really even know how i felt, I just knew I was sad all the time.
It took a long time and many messages to the support hotline to finally get to a place where I felt strong enough to tell someone how I felt. After I did I couldn't believe I hadn't done it sooner! They helped me realize that i was not the reason I felt this was but rather a chemical imbalance in my brain. I felt a relief, though I was still sad, at least now I knew why. My mom took me to the doctor where they asked me a ton of personal and repetitive questions. In the end I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and anxiety. They signed me up with a therapist that really helped. Now, even though I still get sad, I am back to a simi-normal lifestyle. Though this was a really challenging part of my life, I'm glad it happened because it made me a stronger person

Define the Heliocentric Theory and who was the man responsible for creating this theory?
Answer:
Heliocentrism is the astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun at the center of the Universe. Historically, heliocentrism was opposed to geocentrism, which placed the Earth at the center. The notion that the Earth revolves around the Sun had been proposed as early as the 3rd century BC by Aristarchus of Samos, but at least in the medieval world, Aristarchus' heliocentrism attracted little attention—possibly because of the loss of scientific works of the Hellenistic period. Nicolaus Copernicus, It was not until the 16th century that a mathematical model of a heliocentric system was presented, by the Renaissance mathematician, astronomer, and Catholic cleric Nicolaus Copernicus, leading to the Copernican Revolution.

Sentence 3 is a compound sentence.
Sentence 4 is actually simple even though it seems complex.

Answer:
These lines show that an epic hero respected by Anglo-Saxons has: nobility, humility, cunning, wisdom, strength, strength, loyalty, masculinity, wit and honor. All these values are respected today, because they have revised the characteristics that good citizens must possess.
Explanation:
As you may already know, Beowulf is an epic Anglo-Saxon hero. Like all epic heroes he has characteristics that represented the characteristics respected and desired by the Anglo-Saxon people.

Which excerpt from “Seventh Grade” shows a moment when Mr. Bueller acts in a way that is different from what Victor expects? Mr. Bueller said that is the students studied hard, at the end of the year they could go to France and be understood by the populace. Mr. Bueller asked if anyone knew French. Victor raised his hand, wanting to impress Teresa. The teacher beamed and said, “Trés bien. Parlez-vous francais?” Mr. Bueller looked at Victor, and Victor looked back. Oh please, don’t say anything, Victor pleaded with his eyes. Mr. Bueller shuffled through the papers on his desk. He smiled and hummed as he sat down to work.
Answer:
Mr. Bueller shuffled through the papers on his desk. He smiled and hummed as he sat down to work.
Explanation:
I took the test
The correct answer is Mr. Bueller shuffled through the papers on his desk. He smiled and hummed as he sat down to work. Victor in order to impress his crush tried to speak fake french to that he imagined himself to be punished and scolded but it didn't turn that way it was quite opposite Mr. bueller ignored it and saved him from embarassment.
What did victor do?Growing up has its challenges. Mr. Bueller, a sympathetic French teacher, helps Victor, a hopeless romantic, avoid serious embarrassment in Gary Soto's short story "Seventh Grade." For instance, Mr. Bueller defends Victor when he tries to speak phoney "French" in class. Victor was fortunate that Mr. Bueller was understanding enough to recognise that Victor was only attempting to impress a special someone when he interrupted class with his amusing-sounding remark. The sensitive side of Mr. Bueller is also demonstrated when Teresa, the crush, really praises Victor for his French. Once more, Mr. Bueller avoided making any comments that would have further degraded Victor.
This was never expected by victor. He thought that he would be punished but it turned out in a different way.

Write a book review of an interesting story book, which you have read.
The difference between point of view and choice of person in a story is that _____.
“person” is the literary name given to main characters in a story, and“point of view” is the perspective from which we view the story
“person” is part of a term used to describe the type of narrator (as in first-person or third-person); “point of view” is how the antagonist understands
the events of a story the terms are interchangeable; there is really no difference between them “point of view” refers to the perspective from which the story is told;
“person” is part of a term used to describe a type of narrator (as in first-person or third-person)
Answer:
The difference between point of view and choice of person in a story is that “point of view” refers to the perspective from which the story is told; “person” is part of a term used to describe a type of narrator (as in first-person or third-person)
Using points of view means that an author chooses one or several characters' perspectives to narrate the events of the story from their own experiences, observations and opinions.
On the other hand, the choice of person is the one that the author uses to narrate the story: first-person, "I or "we"; second-person, "you"; or third-person, "he", "she" or "it").
For instance, George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire has several points of view and all of his characters' storylines are narrated in third-person.
20 POINTS!!!!! In a few well-written sentences answer the following prompt: What does "Courage is Grace under fire" mean?
Answer:
"Courage is Grace under fire" means to be able to be calm when most people would be panicking. A soldier that is caught in enemy crossfire that manages to remain calm and get out of the crossfire alive is a good example. Another example might be a famous person being questioned by the public on a topic/subject that he might not want to talk about, but he talks about it anyway and remains calm.
Courage is grace under fire is just saying that to remain calm in one of those situations takes courage.

drinking water, suggesting ways to improve the situation.

Scarcity of clean drinking water Women travel long distances in certain areas like Rajasthan
and Gujarat to fetch water Contamination of water Linking rivers Awareness of clean
drinking water habits Water harvesting/water conservation
Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within a region.
It already affects every continent and around 2.8 billion people around the world at least one month out of every year.
More than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water.
Water scarcity involves water stress, water shortage or deficits, and water crisis.
While the concept of water stress is relatively new, it is the difficulty of obtaining sources of fresh water for use during a period of time and may result in further depletion and deterioration of available water resources.Water shortages may be caused by climate change, such as altered weather patterns including droughts or floods, increased pollution, and increased human demand and overuse of water.
A water crisis is a situation where the available potable, unpolluted water within a region is less than that region's demand.

A water crisis is a situation where the available potable, unpolluted water within a region is less than that region's demand.
Water scarcity is being driven by two converging phenomena: growing freshwater use and depletion of usable freshwater resources.
Water scarcity can be a result of two mechanisms: physical (absolute) water scarcity and economic water scarcity, where physical water scarcity is a result of inadequate natural water resources to supply a region's demand, and economic water scarcity is a result of poor management of the sufficient available water resources.
Describe in your own words, the interaction between Dante and the lady who comes to visit him in Canto It Your
answer should be at least one hundred words.
The lady who visits Dante in Canto II is called Beatrice. She was Dante's greatest love while she was alive. She died and went to heaven, but she still loves him and learns about the situation that Dante is going through. For this reason, she decides to help him using Virgil to mediate the interaction between the two, since she transfers to Virgil all the advice and guidelines that Dante will need to get through the moment he is in. Beatrice knows that Dante still loves her and that he will hear her message through Virgil.
Beatrice symbolizes divine love, one that is pure and that goes beyond physical and spiritual barriers.

In light of what you've learned about the Gilded Age, do you think the state government should have intervened and regulated conditions in NYC tenement homes? Why or why not?
Answer:
The state government should have intervened and regulated the conditions of the tenements in New York, as a way of promoting social equality and a good quality of life for any individual, in addition to preventing situations of crime and violence.
Explanation:
The Gilded Age was a time when the USA saw a great economic growth, mainly in the north of the country where the big industries were established.
As wages in the United States were much higher than wages in Europe, the United States began to receive numerous foreigners who immigrated to the country in search of work and a better quality of life. However, these people were highly exploited and subjected to inhospitable environments, the tenements.
The tenements were environments of extreme poverty, violence and precarious sanitary and structural conditions. This, in addition to promoting a terrible quality of life, left the city with a dangerous and ugly image.
The New York state government should have intervened and regulated the tenements, since it is the state government's obligation to promote and guarantee the safety and good quality of social life for residents of its region.
Going by the conditions of the Gilded Age, the state government should have intervened in the conditions of NYC tenement houses.
What was the Gilded Age?Time of great economic prosperity in the U.S.Time of great exploitation of the poor by industrialists and business owners.The state government should have intervened because the people living in the tenement houses were poor people and they were being exploited by the owners of the houses who knew the conditions there were poor but did nothing to solve it.
In conclusion, the state government should have intervened.

The correct answers are Lea plans to finish her next project before the due date. Sora learns new words to increase his vocabulary. Talia studies more to get a higher score on her next test.
Explanation:
Intrapersonal goals focus on the individual rather than other people; due to this, intrapersonal goals include actions that help the individual improve himself/herself without competing with others. In this context, Lea, Sora, and Talia show examples of intrapersonal goals because they are trying to improve themselves or one aspect related to them. On the other hand, Erick and Ivan are trying to compete with others, therefore their goals do not focus on themselves.

Harper had always been a curious child, wanting to know how things operated and what made them run. While watching her father install new light fixtures, she marveled at the intricacies of how electricity worked. She asked her father multiple questions to satisfy her curiosity. Harper's mother had warned her husband against answering every question as it would slow the installation process. "You're opening Pandora's box," she said.
Answer:
B. Pandora's box.Explanation:
Allusions are indirect references to a place, thing, person or an idea with an unrelated context. It is used as a figure of speech. For example, "He seems worse than Brutus", "Your garden looks like the Garden of Eden", "I met a Good Samaritan", "Such a Herculean task!".
Here, since Harper was a curious a child, her mother has made an allusion to Pandora's box because Pandora, according to the myth, was a curious girl. She had endless curiosity to what was inside the box.
