Answer:
A good statement on this topic would be "Bruno strives to fulfill his role in the family, but maintains his friendship with Shmuel.
Explanation:
"The boy in the stripped pajamas" was written by John Boyne and portrays the story of Bruno, a German boy who is the son of a high-ranking German general, during World War II. Due to his father's profession, Bruno is forced to move to another city and leave all his friends and memories behind. He hates this change, but understands that it is important for his father's success and for that reason, he strives to adapt to the change and help the family in this time of adjustment.
In this new place, Bruno is faced with the fences of a concentration camp. He doesn't know anything about Nazism, nor about the extermination of Jews, but when he looks at the fence, he notices the presence of a child, very thin and wearing a striped pajamas. This child is Shmuel, a Jewish boy trapped in a concentration camp. Bruno and Shmuel start to be friends, although they can't meet beyond the fence.
One day Bruno's father tells him that he can't keep in touch with the people behind the fence and that they aren't real people. Bruno's father reinforces that it is important for him to stay away from the fences, so as not to cause problems for the family. Bruno is worried that he might cause problems for the family and complies with all the rules imposed on him, except for breaking up his friendship with Shmuel. This attitude of Bruno is the main point of the theme Family and Friendship.
1) C) weak and gaunt
Buck is described as have muscles which "had wasted away" and it goes on to say that "each rib and every bone...were outlined cleanly through the loose hide..." This description shows that he is weak and gaunt.
2) hearing
Sensory details appeal to the senses. In this excerpt, there are many sounds, such as bursting, throbbing, soft-sighing, snapping, and trickle. These all appeal to the sense of hearing.
3) B) His muscles had wasted away to knotty strings, and the flesh pads had disappeared, so that each rib and every bone in his frame were outlined cleanly through the loose hide...
This is the best answer. Thin is another word for gaunt. The reasons this excerpt is the answer is the same as for number one.
4) A) how furious and upset Thornton is
We can see Thornton's anger when it says "suddenly...John Thornton sprang upon the man". In this line he is being described as verbally attacking the man with the club. He does so because he is furious. His feelings about the situation show when his voice is described as "choking". This choice of words shows that Thornton cares about his son and is upset when he speaks.
Answer:
Moral dilemmas are situations where an individual has to make a choice between two or more clashing options.
These options are often not pleasing to the individual and are usually not truly morally acceptable either. We can identify moral dilemmas by recognising that our actions in these given situations have moral and ethical consequences.
We must choose between which actions to take. However, we may not be happy with any choice, and none of them can be considered fully morally acceptable.
Our first point of order might be to consult any personal moral beliefs or societal ethical and lawful norms in order to resolve such difficulties. Yet, this is often not enough. It may not point towards the best action to take, and it may not even be sufficient in tackling the moral dilemma.
We must find ways of resolving these challenging situations in order to produce the least suffering possible. To do this, it is useful to identify the different types of moral dilemmas that we may find ourselves in.
