Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor and the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize stands in front of a room full of important government people; he wants his audience to recognize that being indifferent is not the same as being innocent – indifference, “after all, is more dangerous than anger or hatred”.

He forces the listeners to wonder which kind of people they are. To him, during the Holocaust, people fit into one of “three simple categories: the killers, the victims, and the bystanders” and he forces the bystanders to decide whether or not to stay indifferent to the actual situation. He takes the time to list various actual civil wars and humanitarian crises (line 17 of his speech) and contrast them with WWII.

He makes sure that his audience realise what is at stake “Indifference, then, is not only a sin, it is a punishment” [for mankind]. He wants the audience to be really affected by what they hear – so he talks to them in their condition of human being: “Is it necessary at times to practice [indifference] simply to … enjoy a fine meal and a glass of wine”. And he also talks to them as government people with their duty and the power they have over the actual conflicts. He wants them to compare themselves with their predecessors during WWII: “We believed that the leaders of the free world did not know what was going on … And now we knew, we learned, we discovered that the Pentagon knew, the State Department knew.”

Wiesel finishes his speech by expressing hope for the new millennium. We believed he addresses these final words to those who will refuse to stay indifferent. But it seems that Wiesel would count them in the minority: “Some of them -- so many of them -- could be saved.” probably refers to this minority.

Which sentence uses the positive of an adverb?
Anvisha [2.4K]
<span>The most basic modification an adverb performs is that found in a standard adverb phrase, or when an adverb modifies a verb to specify how an action was performed, either in manner, frequency, purpose, place or time. In the sentence, "She drove slowly," the adverb "slowly" modifies how she drove. Notice that the phrasing, "She slowly drove" would also be acceptable.</span>

Answer:

1. She learned about maturity in life from chess rules. She said we must be wise enough to make good decisions in life. In the end, you will be sorry you made a wrong decision that speed things up in the short term. When you are in the middle of something, do not brag about how much you have done. It could have negative consequences for you. People who are captured should be kept in neat rows, like well-cared-for prisoners. Never say "Check” with vanity, lest someone with an unseen sword slit your throat. Never hurl pieces into the sandbox after you have lost a game, because then you must find them again, by yourself, after apologizing to all around you". Keep your flaws and flaws in mind when you think about the things you have done.

2. Waverly's mother thinks that Waverly's success is all down to luck, not challenging work. You should always say what is polite, even if you do not really mean it. Mother: Waverly's mother is very humble in public. She tells people who admire Waverly's chess skills that it "is luck" for them to show "proper... humility" (p. 96). Though Waverly learned that she is smart and has the skills to succeed—ambition, coolness under pressure, and patience—she did not believe that she could succeed. She has also learned how to use her brain to solve problems. She is no longer afraid to be herself. Waverly learns how to play chess through challenging work and by reading and practicing on her own. At the same time, she builds up an invisible strength that allows her to win at chess. "Luck" is not what she would say.

"I learned about opening moves and why it's important to control the center early on; the shortest distance between two points is straight down the middle. I learned about the middle game and why tactics between two adversaries are like clashing ideas; the one who plays better has the clearest plans for both attacking and getting out of traps. I learned why it is essential in the endgame to have foresight, a mathematical understanding of all possible moves, and patience; all weaknesses and advantages become evident to a strong adversary and obscured to a tiring opponent." (p.94) Waverly reflects on how she gained life lessons from chess. Waverly had remarkable success in chess and later in her profession. Waverly achieved harsh success by applying chess lessons in life. She had a different life than her companion, June, whom she considered as a competitor.

3. Waverly started winning chess games because she realized the mistakes she made and the different strategies she used while playing with Lau Po. Waverly has developed more skills and strength since he assisted her, even after gathering information from books to beat other chess opponents. I know this since the text states, "I lost many games and many Life Savers.”
