Young Elie and his father are placed with a group of prisoners near a gas chamber. "The world is not interested in us. Today, ev

erything is possible, even the crematoria . . ." His voice broke. "Father," I said. "If that is true, then I don't want to wait. I'll run into the electrified barbed wire. That would be easier than a slow death in the flames." He didn't answer. He was weeping. His body was shaking. Everybody around us was weeping. Someone began to recite Kaddish, the prayer for the dead. I don't know whether, during the history of the Jewish people, men have ever before recited Kaddish for themselves. –Night, Elie Wiesel Why do the prisoners recite the Jewish prayer known as the Kaddish? They are praying for an end to the long, difficult war. They believe they are about to die in the crematorium. They are tricking the guards to hide their plans for revolt. They practice nonviolent defiance in the face of persecution.

The correct answer is B. They believe they are about to die in the crematorium.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the narrator describes Jew prisoners including Young Elie and his father were near to a gas chamber, which was used during the Holocaust (genocide and persecution of Jews) to kill Jews. This suggests Young Elie, his father, and others are about to die. This idea is reinforced by the words of Young Elie "I'll run into the electrified barbed wire. That would be easier than a slow death in the flames" that predicts they are going to be burnt to death in the crematorium and even considers running into the electrified barbed wire. Moreover, this idea is confirmed by the detail "Someone began to recite Kaddish, the prayer for the dead" because this shows the prisoners knew they were about to die and due to this they recited the prayer for the dead.

How do bad or evil leaders take control of their country and gain the support of their people?
strojnjashka [21]

You can do this in a variety of ways. If one has the money for it you can start bribing mayors and law enforcement officials to look the other way and gain influence. If there is a racist movement going on campaign in favor of that to feed off of those angry people. This is like how Hitler became Chancellor of Germany.

Another way is to start a revolution in the country against something that the citizens are very unhappy with. Declare yourself as the leader of the revolution. Make sure the revolution is a success. When the revolution is a success, you will be seen as a hero and instantly gain favor of the people. Once this happens make sure you remove all rivals (personal rivals, political rivals, so on) from the country and start centralizing your power. Start spending country funds on militarization and starve your people to intimidate them. Make your people worship you. Have pictures of you, the Great Leader, in the living rooms of every house by law. This is how the leaders of North Korea have done, and they are still worshipped by their people today.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

One way the African slaves resisted the dehumanizing aspects of slavery was that they held onto the traditions they used to do in Africa. They held onto language and songs they used to sing. Even though they were being dehumanized, they didn't let go of their traditions back in their hometown.
