Answer:

He means that if we would deliberate more and put things in perspective, all men would become students and observers because property and material possessions are mortal and would not stay forever, but truth is immortal and never dies.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau is a writer who is known for the simplicity of hissliterary works.

He sought to remove himself from all forms of social life and move closer to nature so he moved into a cabin he built on Walden Pond to reminisce.

His book <em>Walden</em> shows some of his experiences in the cabin he stayed in. He effectively said from his ode <em>Walten: </em>

<u><em>"With a little more deliberation in the choice of their pursuits, all men would perhaps become essentially students and observers, for certainly their nature and destiny are interesting to all alike. </em></u><u><em>In accumulating property for ourselves or our posterity, in founding a family or a state, or acquiring fame even, we are mortal; but in dealing with truth we are immortal, and need fear no change nor accident."</em></u>

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>
