Read this excerpt from Elie Wiesel's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech: Of course, since I am a Jew profoundly rooted in my pe

oples' memory and tradition, my first response is to Jewish fears, Jewish needs, Jewish crises. For I belong to a traumatized generation, one that experienced the abandonment and solitude of our people. It would be unnatural for me not to make Jewish priorities my own: Israel, Soviet Jewry, Jews in Arab lands . . . But there are others as important to me. Apartheid is, in my view, as abhorrent as anti-Semitism. To me, Andrei Sakharov's isolation is as much of a disgrace as Josef Biegun's imprisonment. As is the denial of Solidarity and its leader Lech Walesa's right to dissent. And Nelson Mandela's interminable imprisonment. Why does Wiesel present this personal information first?
A. To demonstrate that he can be a fun speaker.
B. To demonstrate that he is intelligent.
C. To demonstrate that he likes other people.
D. To demonstrate that he can relate to being oppressed.
 
the answer is D for future students

Answer:  D. To demonstrate that he can relate to being oppressed

Explanation: In this excerpt from Elie Wiesel's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, he presents his personal information first <u><em>to demonstrate that he can relate to being oppressed</em></u>. Wiesel presents his personal information first because as a survivor of the Holocaust he wants to tell people that neutrality favours the oppressor and silence encourages the tormentor. So he took side for all the people that suffer oppression around the world.

Explain the Friar’s unusual plan by completing the list below: On Wednesday night Juliet will… get married Juliet will feel…. Th
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

On wednesday night Juliet will drink the distilling liquor.

Juliet will feel A cold and drowsy humor and will fall asleep.

Thursday morning Paris will find her "dead" in her bed.

Then Juliet's family will take her to the Capulets family vault.

In the meantime, Friar Laurence will tell Romeo about her plans.

Finally, Romeo will see Juliet waking up and take her to Mantua.

Explanation:

This was Friar Laurence's perfect plan. He tells Juliet that she should go and marry Paris, that he would give her a liquor and that when she drank it she would fall asleep, but on the outside she would seem dead for 42 hours. Enough time for Paris to find her "dead" in her bed and the family can take her to the family vault. Once there, Juliet would wake up from her dream and her great love, Romeo, would be waiting for her to be able to escape to Mutua together.

The plan seemed perfect, except that Romeo received the news of Juliet's death before receiving the letter from Friar Laurence, which caused him to kill himself, and by the time Juliet woke up and saw him dead, she also decided to kill herself .

Read the following excerpt from Dr King’s “I have a dream” speech:
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
Dr. King refers to peaceful protest when referencing the "majestic heights".  He describes peaceful protest as meeting physical force with soul force, or the will to see that justice is enacted through nonviolent means. This is truly a difficult thing to accomplish in the face of brutal injustice, and is a majestic height to reach indeed. Dr. King proved that such heights could be reached, and that real progress toward equality could be made by nonviolent means.
