Answer and Explanation:

NOTE: I wrote it in the form of a speech. You said not to use the internet, which I didn't. I just used my previous knowledge and own opinions. Feel free to change or adapt anything to your own opinions and ideas.

"It is very simple to be happy but it is very difficult to be simple"

Some time ago, I saw this cartoon based on the Buddhist philosophy. It showed a person thinking, "I want happiness." Then, a wise Buddhist man came, erased the words "I want," and all there was left was "happiness."

Happiness is achievable, and is probably one of the simplest feelings we may have. Of course, there are different types of happiness. Some types last longer than others, some are more or less intense... There is the happiness of having some ice cream on a hot day. There is the happiness of marrying your partner and buying your first house. There is the happiness of hearing your doctor say you're finally free of cancer.

However, even though happiness in itself may be simple, we are not simple beings. And because we are not simple, the world also ceases to be simple. We see the world according to our own perceptions. The way we perceive the world is nothing but an interpretation of our own complexity. The world, society, tasks, demands, they all look and feel different to different people. If I am anxious, I perceive it all differently than someone who is laid-back.

Therefore, we cannot, or at least should not, think there is a recipe for happiness. The feeling is not a mystery, and I believe everyone has experienced it at some point in life. Still, we are a tapestry of thoughts, worries, fears, traumas. The path to happiness requires some work on ourselves, on the way we perceive the world outside our minds. That path will invariably be different according to each person. Thus, the path is as complicated and unique as can be.

Answer:

DO NOT COPY THIS WORD FOR WORD. TRY TO PARAPHRASE

Explanation:

By the end of the book, Holling has become a dedicated cross country runner. Although he starts out running simply because he's told to, he eventually learns to take the sport seriously and train for a performance he can be proud of.

He learns to stand up for himself and those he cares about, and to find beauty and life whenever possible, in spite of the knowledge that war and death are prominent in the world. By the end of the novel, Hoodhood has learned that life is about compromise, and about finding your own destiny.

Holling knew that it would be difficult to choose the path of freedom from his father's wishes, but part of him was torn between pleasing his father and pleasing himself. Holling figured out that when a person decides what their focus is, life will seem clearer, even though its difficulties may not be over.

Describe Wiesel's opinion of his fellow Sighet citizens. Find and write a line from the text the supports your statement.
Naddika [18.5K]
The people of Sighet, like many Jewish people in Europe at the time, are naive and unable to believe the atrocities being committed by the Nazis.

When Moshe returns to Sighet and tells everyone about what he experienced, they are unable to believe him. Instead of believing him, the people of Sighet say he is crazy. If they were to believe him, they would have to admit the fact they were in danger as well. They do not believe until it is far too late to leave.
