Which excerpt from The Great Fire best supports the theme that there was a sense of hope that the city would rebuild after the f

ire? “But as she passed through the blackened landscape and came closer and closer to them, she must have felt much the way another fire victim, Mrs. Charles Forsberg, did: ‘When we lay down, away from the crowd, and I knew I had my [family] safe, I felt so rich — I have never in my life felt so rich!’” “Alfred Sewell ended his discussion of Chicago with a stirring prediction: ‘The city will nevertheless rise again, nay, is already rising, like the Phoenix, from her ashes. And she will, we believe, be a better city as well as a greater one, than she was before her disaster.’” “The demand for carpenters and bricklayers soared, and farmers from as far away as 150 miles came to get jobs. Salaries also rose, with unskilled laborers commanding two dollars a day.” “It continued driving the fire through the heart of Chicago, devouring churches, banks, publishing houses and printers, breweries, grain elevators, lumberyards, and department stores as if they were constructed of brittle hay. Buildings that citizens viewed with great pride, such as the Courthouse, were gobbled up.”

“Alfred Sewell ended his discussion of Chicago with a stirring prediction: ‘The city will nevertheless rise again, nay, is already rising, like the Phoenix, from her ashes. And she will, we believe, be a better city as well as a greater one, than she was before her disaster.’”

This is the best option because it gives the feeling of hope. The image of the Phoenix rising out of the ashes is meant to show that Chicago will once rise again. It will come back and be even better. The quote says that the city will "rise again" and "is already rising". Two of the other options only speak of the devastation of the fire. The option about the workers tells about the demand for laborers but it doesn't necessarily evoke a sense of hope in rebuilding.

How does The Tattooist of Auschwitz change your perceptions about the Holocaust in particular, and war in general?

<em>The Tattooist of Auschwitz</em> provides an insight into the extreme cruelty of the Holocaust. It sheds new light on the horrific story of Nazi concentration camps. However, it also teaches us that people can be kind to one another even in such horrible circumstances. The book also inspires us never to lose hope for a better life and true love.

What implications does this book hold for our own time?

Some of the most important lessons from the book that we could all apply in our lives are about true love, hope and sacrifice. From the moment Lali arrived at Aushwitz, he kept telling himself his life was too good for him to die in such a place, and he never gave up. We should certainly admire Gita and him for their perseverance, and remember that everything is possible if we have faith.

Which should readers pay attention to in order to follow a character's development?
slava [35]
What should the readers pay attention to is how the characters say, behave and feel in every line or how they were able to react in each scene or part. This will allow them to notice how the characters evolve or how they were able to develop in each scenario that is happening on the character's life as the story goes. For this is essential in reading a story or a book.
