Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor and the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize stands in front of a room full of important government people; he wants his audience to recognize that being indifferent is not the same as being innocent – indifference, “after all, is more dangerous than anger or hatred”.
He forces the listeners to wonder which kind of people they are. To him, during the Holocaust, people fit into one of “three simple categories: the killers, the victims, and the bystanders” and he forces the bystanders to decide whether or not to stay indifferent to the actual situation. He takes the time to list various actual civil wars and humanitarian crises (line 17 of his speech) and contrast them with WWII.
He makes sure that his audience realise what is at stake “Indifference, then, is not only a sin, it is a punishment” [for mankind]. He wants the audience to be really affected by what they hear – so he talks to them in their condition of human being: “Is it necessary at times to practice [indifference] simply to … enjoy a fine meal and a glass of wine”. And he also talks to them as government people with their duty and the power they have over the actual conflicts. He wants them to compare themselves with their predecessors during WWII: “We believed that the leaders of the free world did not know what was going on … And now we knew, we learned, we discovered that the Pentagon knew, the State Department knew.”
Wiesel finishes his speech by expressing hope for the new millennium. We believed he addresses these final words to those who will refuse to stay indifferent. But it seems that Wiesel would count them in the minority: “Some of them -- so many of them -- could be saved.” probably refers to this minority.
Each of them want to kill the other treachery
Three pieces of evidence support this belief, these are the lines "they thought of how they had laboured," "what discouragements they had overcome" and "they gambolled round and round the windmill, uttering cries of triumph."
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Animals are being exploited and living in bad conditions, even after the revolution that promised them so much.
- This was all aggravated after the windmill stopped working, as it was essential for the farm's well-being.
- All of this made them feel very despondent about the whole situation.
- When the windmill was recovered, they felt very happy and ignored all the problems they were going through.
- They skipped around the mill, as its working was a point of happiness amidst the difficulties they were going through.
With that, even though there were still many problems on the farm, they felt excited, mainly because the mill was fixed by their work.

Answer:
20 km/hr
Explanation:
time taken by the boat going upstream = 11 hours
time taken for downstream movement = 9 hours
speed of the current = 2 km/h
distance traveled by the boat = d
Assume the speed of boat be x
we know,
distance = speed × time
moving upstream
distance = speed × time
d = (x -2) × 11
downstream
d = (x+2) × 9
now
(x+2) × 9 = (x -2) × 11
2 x = 40
x = 20 km/hr
hence, the speed of the boat will be 20 km/hr
