In Night by Elie Wiesel, there are many facts and opinions that support the theme that in life-threatening circumstances, the instinct to survive overcomes everything else.


One fact that supports this theme is the following excerpt: “The Kapos were beating us again, but I no longer felt the pain.” This is a fact because describing the actions or behavior of individuals (“The Kapos were beating us again. . .”) is a tool that authors of memoirs use to include facts. This excerpt reflects the theme because Wiesel is not reacting to the pain in a way that he would have normally had he not been in a concentration camp. Because he will likely continue to face this type of extreme pain, his body is reacting to the pain in a way that will help Wiesel to survive, more or less, intact. One opinion that supports this theme is the following excerpt: “Our senses were numbed, everything was fading into a fog. We no longer clung to anything.” This is an opinion because author commentary and depictions of the author’s thoughts are tools that authors of memoirs use to include opinions. This excerpt reflects the theme because it presents the senses of everyone in the camp as being “numbed,” a way to help the mind deal with extreme circumstances.

Answer:

The answer is that "women shouldn't unite because men won't listen to what they are saying".

Explanation:

This obviously is the opinion of the second speaker.

Speaker one said that "women should unite to free themselves from the control of men"

Speaker three also gave his own opinion as: " women should blame and hate Nature for the inequalities

women need men to live because men provide everything for women".

The second speaker negates the opinion of other speakers by saying that "women shouldn't unite because men won't listen to what they are saying".

Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 1, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.
andre [41]

This is the right inference.

Brutus decides to join the conspiracy against Caesar because he fears that Caesar will become ruthless once he has absolute power.

Explanation:

This is one of the most poignant passages in the book that reflect on the nature of power.

IT is never known if Caesar will have or will not have become something along the lines of what Brutus says he would here but one can clearly understand why he would think that could be.

Brutus means that absolute power can change a person beyond what they ever wanted to be and hence it is dangerous.

This is why he decides t kill Caesar.
