In domestic policy, Johnson designed the "Great Society" legislation by expanding civil rights, public broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, aid to education, the arts, urban and rural development, public services, and his "War on Poverty". Assisted in part by a growing economy, the War on Poverty helped millions of Americans rise above the poverty line during his administration. Johnson faced further troubles when summer riots broke out in most major cities after 1965, and crime rates soared, as his opponents raised demands for "law and order" policies. While he began his presidency with widespread approval, support for Johnson declined as the public became upset with both the war and the growing violence at home. In 1968, the Democratic Party factionalized as antiwar elements denounced Johnson; he ended his bid for renomination after a disappointing finish in the New Hampshire primary. Nixon was elected to succeed him, as the New Deal coalition that had dominated presidential politics for 36 years collapsed. After he left office in January 1969, Johnson returned to his Texas ranch, where he died of a heart attack at age 64 on January 22, 1973.
Johnson is ranked favorably by many historians because of his domestic policies and the passage of many major laws that affected civil rights, gun control, wilderness preservation, and Social Security. He also drew substantial criticism for his handling of the <span>Vietnam War</span>
Answer:
The incident of the music playing through the barrack is Juliek's final 'show', playing Beethoven's concerto with his violin which is his most treasure possession that he even brought with him in the concentration camp at Gleiwitz.
Juliek, through his music, becomes the symbol of renewal, hope and resistance against the Nazi's discriminatory acts against the Jews.
Explanation:
This incidence from page 94 of Eliezar Weisel's memoir "Night" shows the scene of a beautiful sound emanating amid the death that consumes the whole barrack. Elie mentions this particular incident to show the small flicker of calm and beauty during the time of death and sorrow.
After the prisoners arrived in the camp at Gleiwitz, the Nazi officers huddled them into barracks, over-crowded but much better than the snow-clad outside atmosphere at the night. Amid this confusion, suffocating and death infused atmosphere inside the room, Elie heard the sound of a violin playing in one corner of the room. He could only imagine it to be Juliek, <em>"The boy from Warsaw who played the violin in the Buna orchestra..."</em>
The boy showed his sacrifice and dedication to his music, for even Elie <em>"thought he'd lost his mind" </em>that he was thinking about his violin when everyone's main concern is to live. But Juliek provided a break through his music from the distressing and disheartening scene of the room where <em>"the dead were heaped on the living"</em>. He symbolizes the renewed hope for survival among the holocaust prisoners, providing a ray of hope for the future and also a source of resistance during such depressing and discriminatory conditions. Juliek's choice of Beethoven's concerto also represents hope, which he wasn't able to play during his musician days. His decision to play even though circumstances are hard shows his perseverance, his way of resisting the oppressive nature of his surrounding. Even in the face of death, he was brave and strong enough to play his music.

Leaves rustled as the wind swept through the trees.
Squirrels hid as the sky opened up. All the birds, nestled
in the trees, quieted and stopped chirping.
There was a raging forest storm.
Deep in the forest, a storm was raging.
To escape the storm, forest animals hid.
To the animals of the forest, a storm raged.
Which revision best uses a phrase to combine the first two sentences? There was a raging forest storm. Deep in the forest, a storm was raging. To escape the storm, forest animals hid. To the animals of the forest, a storm raged.
Answer:
Deep in the forest, a storm was raging.
Explanation:
The first two lines in the text above create the feeling of devastation created by the storm, so the option "Deep in the forest, a storm was raging" may be the most appropriate to establish a good review that combines the two phrases. This is because this option keeps the meaning of the text, but it has a more succinct and direct sentence, which allows the reader to have a faster and optimized understanding.
