Serena was excited about the pool party she was hosting that afternoon. She was so glad that when her family had moved six month

s ago, her parents had finally agreed to buy this house. They hadn’t wanted a pool, but Serena had finally convinced them by promising to do all the work.
For a while, she had. She learned to run the pump and filter and to test the pool water for pH range and chlorine levels. Every day, she skimmed bugs and leaves out of the water. Once a week, she scrubbed the walls with a pool brush and cleaner. Lately, however, she’d been so busy with schoolwork and babysitting that she’d neglected her pool duties.



Serena grabbed the skimmer basket in preparation for cleaning the pool. Then she froze. She immediately noticed that the water looked cloudy. But when she looked more closely, there were large greenish patches here and there. Serena knew what that meant. Algae was growing rapidly. No one would be swimming in the pool today.



Disappointed in herself, Serena slogged back into the house. She had a lot to do: confess to her parents, give her friends the bad news, and start researching how to get rid of algae.

How does point of view affect literature
Sidana [21]

A narrator can write from different points of view, mainly first person or third person. Choosing the point of view is a big deal for an author, because the perspective from which a novel is narrated has a big impact on a reader's experience.

Why does wiesel mention kosovo in his speech
lianna [129]
Holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate, Elie Wiesel, gave this impassioned speech in the East Room of the White House on April 12, 1999, as part of the Millennium Lecture series, hosted by President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. In the summer of 1944, as a teenager in Hungary, Elie Wiesel, along with his father, mother and sisters, were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz extermination camp in occupied Poland. Upon arrival there, Wiesel and his father were selected by SS Dr. Josef Mengele for slave labor and wound up at the nearby Buna rubber factory. Daily life included starvation rations of soup and bread, brutal discipline, and a constant struggle against overwhelming despair. At one point, young Wiesel received 25 lashes of the whip for a minor infraction. In January 1945, as the Russian Army drew near, Wiesel and his father were hurriedly evacuated from Auschwitz by a forced march to Gleiwitz and then via an open train car to Buchenwald in Germany, where his father, mother, and a younger sister eventually died. Wiesel was liberated by American troops in April 1945. After the war, he moved to Paris and became a journalist then later settled in New York. Since 1976, he has been Andrew Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University. He has received numerous awards and honors including the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He was also the Founding Chair of the United States Holocaust Memorial. Wiesel has written over 40 books including Night, a harrowing chronicle of his Holocaust experience, first published in 1960. At the White House lecture, Wiesel was introduced by Hillary Clinton who stated, "It was more than a year ago that I asked Elie if he would be willing to participate in these Millennium Lectures...I never could have imagined that when the time finally came for him to stand in this spot and to reflect on the past century and the future to come, that we would be seeing children in Kosovo crowded into trains, separated from families, separated from their homes, robbed of their childhoods, their memories, their humanity.
