Why does Hannah think the filthy trough water tastes sweet?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Bezzdna [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer and Explanation:

Hannah is a Jew being sent to a concentration camp during the Holocaust. She has been handled roughly, starved, and crammed into a boxcar with tens of other people. So, when she is finally handed water, even though it's filthy trough water, she thinks it's sweet because at least there is water to quench her thirst; in other words, it's better than no water, and since she is so thirsty and dehydrated, this water is like heaven.

Hope this helps!

Abraham Maslow suggested that "a person who is lacking food, love, and self-esteem would most likely hunger for food more strong
Nimfa-mama [501]

In this statement, Maslow is arguing that not all of our needs are equally important. Some needs, such as food or thirst, are our priority, and only when we satisfy these do we begin to think about others such as love and self-esteem.

An example that shows this are people who live in extreme poverty and steal food. People in this situation would rather compromise their safety, freedom and maybe even self-worth in order to satisfy their hunger.

However, some evidence points to the opposite as well. For example, soldiers who join the war do so to fulfill abstract needs such as earning respect and finding meaning, even if this means risking their safety, having little to eat and facing many uncomfortable situations. Another example is athletes. Athletes train to a degree that is uncomfortable and hard. They also limit their food intake to certain types of food in order to achieve goals such as self-fulfillment and a higher self-esteem.

Describe some characteristics of the Apache people. I’ll give you brainlyiest
dusya [7]

Answer:

Hey I am 100% correct

Explanation:

The Apache migrated from Canada around A.D.1200. They first settled on the western edge of the Great Plains where they became nomadic bison hunters. In the 18th century, the Comanche drove them away from the Plains and into the deserts of the Southwest. However, the Lipan Apache remained on the Plains of Texas while the Kiowa-Apache settled in what is now Kansas. Today, the rest live in Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

Apache families are matrilineal. When a man marries, he joins his wife's family. If the marriage fails, children stay within the wife's family. Tradition encourages marital harmony by forbidding interaction between mother-in-law and son-in-law. Until relatively recently, Apache tribes lacked a central government; each extended family conducted their affairs independently. This lack of central authority forced the Spanish, Mexican and American governments to deal with each extended family individually, making imposing authority over the Apache difficult.

Apache languages are part of the Athapascan language family spoken in Canada, the Pacific Coast, Alaska and the Southwest United States. It includes Navajo, Western Apache, Mescalero, Chiricahua, Jicarilla, Kiowa-Apache and Lipan. Like many Asian languages, the meaning of Apache words changes with different tones. Many English speakers find Apaches languages difficult.
