Answer: the fact that people's lives are beyond their own control.

One of the main themes of <em>Night</em> is the fact that people's lives are beyond their own control, and this is exemplified throughout the story. The prisoners had no power to stop their capture, or to stop the tortures that go on inside the camps. One of the symbols that exemplifies this powerlessness is the "selection." The selection is the process of separating the weak and sick from the strong and "healthy." Although the prisoners do their best to appear healthy and fit, they ultimately have very little power over their own destiny.

Write a short essay in which you examine the figurative language in “Concrete Mixers.” Explain what the concrete mixers are comp
PolarNik [594]

“Concrete Mixers” by Patricia Hubbell compares concrete mixers to elephants to show humans have created relationships with their machines in much the same way as with animals under their care. The poet shows how the drivers of the concrete mixers wash and tend to their mixers just as the mahout take care of their elephants. This comparison is set up at the beginning of the poem with this simile: “Like elephant tenders they hose them down.” To continue this relationship, the poet describes the concrete drivers as “mahouts”, the name for people who take care of elephants in other countries. The poem also describes how the concrete mixers “stand in muck”, meaning that these machines are in muddy environments similar to the environments of elephants who stand in mud or muck.In the end the poet describes how the concrete mixers are like elephants working to do humans’ work by lifting, moving and helping to create new structures in a city. The poet uses several similes to describe concrete mixers as if they were alive: “Concrete mixers/Move like elephants/Bellow like elephants/Spray like elephants” She further strengthens the effect by writing that they “…are urban elephants/Their trunks are raising a city.” This metaphor means that just as elephants work for humans in  

Poetry Collection 3 other countries, the machines in the poem are doing the labor of building a city. The poet uses the word “raising” to show that the city is being built up, becoming taller and taller with skyscrapers. Through the effective use of figurative language the poet shows how humans have begun to treat their machines as if they were living, breathing animal

Write a good hook and thesis on "is there too much pressure on girls to have "perfect bodies?"
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Now in days having a perfect body is how everyone is expected to look if not they are an outsider or they are "different" It is time to normalize not having a perfect body. My body not being perfect does not mean I am not healthy. imperfect body-shaming is shameful, can cause trauma, and body shaming is a form of bullying.
