1. Read the below except from the Preface written by Elie Wiesel about his memoir Night and then
respond to the question that follows.
... The topic of Auschwitz has become part of mainstream culture. There are films, plays, novels,
international conferences, exhibitions, annual ceremonies with the participation of the nation's
officialdom. The most striking example is that of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in
Washington D.C.; it has received more than twenty-two million visitors since its inauguration in 1993.
This may be because the public knows that the number of survivors is shrinking daily and is
fascinated by the idea of sharing memories that will soon be lost. For in the end, it is all about
memory, its sources, and its magnitude, and, of course, its consequences.
For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and
for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective
memory. To forget would be not only dangerous by offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to
killing them a second time.
Sometimes I am asked if I know "the response to Auschwitz"; I answer that not only do I not
know it, but that I don't even know if a tragedy of this magnitude has a response. What I do know is
that there is "response" in responsibility. When we speak of this era of evil and darkness, so close and
yet so distant, "responsibility” is the key word.
The witness has forced himself to testify. For the youth of today, for the children who will be
born tomorrow. He does not want his past to become their future.
In these final thoughts from the preface precluding his memoir Night, Elie Wiesel talks about
memories and trying to understand Auschwitz. What are your thoughts about the above excerpt in
context with a theme you observed at work in the novel? Write a response of no less than three
paragraphs explaining how the above exce
'rpt introduces and supports a theme you identified in the novel. Make sure to use textual
evidence from the novel to support your answer. (25 points)

The above excerpt shows how important it is to remember and testify about all the atrocities that occurred in the holocaust. Wiesel says that although the reports about what happened during this period may be uncomfortable for some people, it is the responsibility of those who witnessed this moment to testify about everything that happened. This is a way of honoring your own history, honoring the dead in this tragedy and moreover, this is a responsibility to the next generations.

The book written by Wiesel highlights the theme that states that the history of the holocaust must not be forgotten. Although the number of survivors decreases more and more, it is important that the holocaust is always discussed, shown and debated; its horrors must be displayed, so that future generations will recognize how dangerous prejudice and intolerance is and how it has hurt the history of mankind.

This exposure is important so that the next generations are responsible and do not allow events like this to happen again. In this way, it is expected that the reports of the survivors of the holocaust will generate conscious generations, who choose their leaders well, who have respect for others and who do not promote messages of hatred and superiority among peoples.

Memories of a Memory

Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

Part A and Part B below contain one fill-in-the-blank to be used for all three question responses. Your complete response must be in the format A, B, C including the letter choice, commas, and a space after the commas.

I AM GIVING BRAINLIEST! PLEASEEEEE HELPPP I NEED HELPPP
Once upon a time, there were two brothers named Mark and John, they lived in New York City. One day they went to eat in a restaurant with their Uncle, James. Uncle James is a leader of soldiers, who wanted to discover the island of Death and see what was on it.

Uncle James wanted to explore "The Death Island" because a lot of people were saying that this Island is like The Bermuda Triangle and WORSE which can bring you to death. He thought that he could defeat the fear of this island and find the treasure that was hidden inside the heart of the island. Many people tried going to the island but they all disappeared and what the people found was the remains of their body thrown in the ocean. Uncle James wanted John and Mark to go with him to discover the island because he liked the determination that Mark and John had. He went to Mark and John and asked them if they could go with him for $1,000,000.

After he offered them the money they liked the offer, they went to their mom, Sofia. They told her "Uncle James told us to go with him to the Island and we'll get $1,000,000" but she refused, so they didn’t listen to what their mom told them to do. She refused because they just want the money, not their lives.

After that, they went to Uncle James and they told him "yes we agree". This was the worst answer ever because they will endanger their lives. After All, they prepared their stuff for the journey and packed weapons with them. After that, they went to the plane to start the journey to the island.

There they saw a huge monster with five eyes and four hands. This monster broke their plane and all of the rest of the soldier's planes. After that, they all ran to escape from the monster, they were going ways they didn't even know and they didn't realize what's happening. After they calm down and relax for a second then, they walk through the jungle to explore the Island they landed on.


After that, they saw a huge spider and the spider ate 5 of the soldiers and they were about 11 people with Mark and John. After the huge spider ate the 5 soldiers Mark defeated him with a rifle, then he killed the spider. After that, they founded a boat, so they took the boat and went out of the Island.

But then, they had very bad luck because there was a huge Octopus in the lake. He ate all the soldiers, and James and John. But the one who had a very good luck is Mark because Octopus didn’t eat him so he is still alive. After that, Mark went home and he was very sad because his brother died. But then he told his mom and his mom was very sad and furious. Because they didn’t listen to what she told them.

After Mark had saved his life, he went home and he was very sad, groaning and crying like a baby because his brother died. But then he told his mom and his mom was very sad and furious. Because they didn’t listen to what she told them.
After these things happened and all the people heard about it they made a big fence, so no one can go or pass into the Island.

That cannot fly.

Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
