Things like race, religion, and gender identity do not make one better than another. How is this illustrated in "The Sneetches?

Answer:

In the Poem/Story by Dr. Seuss, there were two types of Sneetches. Star bellied Sneetches and plain bellied Sneetches.

For some reason the Star Bellied ones felt they were more superior than those who didn't have stars upon their thars even when the star was nothing of significance. [See line 6-10]

The stars in the story/poem is similar to things like race, religion and gender identity. In the hierarchy of things, they do not add any value or help to solve any problem. It forms the basis upon which most of the division in the world is founded.

For instance, the recent pandemic was not selective of colour, race, religion, or gender. Such are the principles of life. They respect no one. If obeyed they make one a better and more successful person.

In the end, after both types of Sneetches had serially changed their "Star Bearing" status severally, they came to realise that it didn't mean a thing and reconciled their differences. That was of course after much of their wealth had been spent. Both types of Sneetch had been gullible enough to keep spending their money in the chase of a status that would make one superior over the other until they lost it all. [See Lines 85-92]

If the presence of the star was of any importance or unimportance, it should have reflected in their ability to quickly discern who the real "star bearer" was - the McBean.

Cheers!

What devastating choice are Elie and his father left with regarding staying in the infirmary or
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Elie and his father heard that there will be an evacuation and that prisoners would be marching to another camp while the sick would be left and killed.

The father-son duo decided to follow the prisoners and take their chance instead of staying behind in the infirmary and be separated.

Wiesel later learned that those left, the sick, in the infirmary were <em>"liberated by the Russians, two days after the evacuation."</em>

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night," tells the author's account of his life of being a Jew during the discrimination against their race by the Germans under Nazi rule. This event, the Holocaust, came to be the worst genocide in the history of the world.

When Elie had to have his tooth extracted, he was put in the infirmary to recover. But within two days of his stay there, news spread that the prisoners were to be shifted to another location while the sick would be <em>"liberated",</em> meaning killed or disposed of.

Unable to decide what to do, Elie and his father decided to move along with the prisoners and not stay in the infirmary. Though sick and tired, Elie followed his father's decision as he doesn't want to be separated from him.

He later learned, after the war, that those who had stayed behind in the infirmary were <em>"liberated by the Russians, two days after the evacuation."</em>
