The viewpoint gathered from the passage is:
Sarah’s determination to hide with her brother rather than wait for the Germans is admirable.
Explanation:
Sarah begins the passage by wondering if the brother is going to sit there and let the Germans take him away and then says that surely she would not let that happen.
This is the line that sets up the passage for what is to be narrated for the whole passage which is her plans and her determination to save her brother from sure death in the German death camps.
It is her foresight that has allowed her to understand what is going to happen and she willingly takes steps to avoid it.
Answer:
Yes I have persevered in order to achieve a goal. When I was bad at tennis, I played for 6 hours every day for 3 months and now I am a nationally recognized player. I have witnessed my friends persevere and practice before they go to a competition. I have given up on inventing a product, but instead I sold my idea for $150,000.
Explanation:
I appreciate a capitalist system which allows the market to compete unencumbered, with few restraints. However, when individuals or organizations are able to dictate with life-threatening decisions based on money and not humanity, then I call for a revolt. The pleasures of love and life, a marriage bound by sacred vows, surely these things possess a value which far outweigh the interests of someone who is unwilling to part with their commodity. If there is no room for compromise from the pharmaceutical industry for delayed payments or payments with interest over time, then I say steal the drug.
