Answer:

At 6:45 am, the alarm of Mr. and Mrs. Van Pels went off. Hermann van Pels got up, put the kettle on, and went to the bathroom. After fifteen minutes, the bathroom was free again and it was Fritz Pfeffer's turn. Anne got up and removed the blackout screens from the windows. The people in hiding took turns using the bathroom. At 8:30 am, a risky half-hour started. The men in the warehouse started their working day, while the office helpers had not yet arrived. Any noise from the people in hiding was dangerous, as the warehouse was located below the hiding place and the warehouse staff was unaware of the people in hiding. At 9:00 am, the helpers started working in the office above the warehouse. The people in hiding walked around in socks and still had to be quiet, but sounds from above now caused less suspicion. The rest of the morning was devoted to reading, studying, and preparing for their lunch break.

At 12:30 pm, the warehouse workers went home for lunch, and the helpers and people in hiding had the place to themselves for a while. At 12:45 pm, a few of the helpers, usually Johannes Kleiman, Victor Kugler, and Bep Voskuijl, came up to the Secret Annex to have lunch. In the beginning, Johan Voskuijl (Bep’s father) often came up, too. Jan Gies (Miep's husband) frequently joined them as well, although he worked elsewhere. Miep Gies usually stayed in the office to keep an eye on things. For the people in hiding, it was nice to see other people and to hear the latest news from the city. At 1 pm, the radio was switched on for the BBC news. At 1:15 pm, they had lunch and at 1:45 pm, the helpers went back to work.

After the people in hiding had cleared everything away, most of them took an afternoon nap. Anne used that time for studying or writing. Around four o’clock, they had coffee and then started on the preparations for dinner.At 5:30 pm, the warehouse workers went home. Helper Bep Voskuijl usually came by to see if the people in hiding needed anything. After she had gone home at a quarter to six, the people in hiding were no longer restricted to the Secret Annex and they spread out through the building.

Hermann van Pels looked at the day’s post, Peter van Pels fetched the bread that had been left for them in the office, Otto Frank wrote business letters on the typewriter, Margot and Anne did administrative chores and Auguste van Pels and Edith Frank cooked dinner. After dinner, they read, talked, or listened to the radio. Around 9 pm, they started preparing for the night. Pieces of furniture had to be moved, for instance in the room of Hermann and Auguste van Pels. Just like in the morning, they took turns using the bathroom. Every day when the sun went down, the windows had to be blacked out. After that, the Secret Annex went quiet. The next morning, the alarm went off at 6:45 am again, except on Sundays.

A Sunday in the Secret Annex had a completely different rhythm to it and was characterized by 'scrubbing, sweeping and washing', as Anne wrote in her story 'Sunday'. The people in hiding were slow to get going. The first one to get up was Fritz Pfeffer; at 8:00 am he was the first to go to the bathroom. The Van Pels family were next. One of Anne's ‘ordeals' was watching Fritz Pfeffer pray for fifteen minutes. ‘....’  From 10:15 am onwards, it was the Frank family’s turn. Breakfast did not start until 11:30 am on Sundays. After three-quarters of an hour, everyone went to work: scrubbing the carpets, doing the laundry, making the beds.

If you were in favor of banning pit bull ownership, which sources would you use to support your view? Cite text evidence in your
agasfer [191]

Answer:

I would cite sources from the Newspaper articles;

1. Miami-Dade County Votes to Keep Pit Bulls Out, and

2. Ohio Overturns Pit Bull Bill

Explanation:

In referencing the newspaper article, "Miami-Dade County Votes to Keep Pit Bulls Out", I will cite the example of the vicious attack on an 8-year-old girl named Melissa whose injuries sustained from the attack required several major reconstructive surgeries. Despite the protests by some to repeal the ban, the majority continue to reject the move.

I will also cite the statement by Representative Bruce Goodwin in, "Ohio Overturns Pit Bull Bill". He said, and I quote, "The 'Pit Bull' has the distinction or characteristic that when they grab on, they don't let go." He added, " 'Pit Bulls'  are the choice for drug dealers and other bad folks and that is for a reason."

PART A: Which statement identifies the theme of the short story (The Third Wish)?
Korolek [52]

C. Nature is an imposing force that is not meant to be altered. 'The Third Wish' by Joan Aiken is a story that each one of us might've heard of, at least once in our life. It is the famous story of how three wishes that were granted to a person effect his life after they are wished for one after the other.

Explanation:

In this fairy tale, as it seems unreal and impractical for a person to be granted three wishes in real life, the man is given three leaves, each one wish that he can make and fulfill desires that he craves for.

The first wish being for a beautiful wife and the man marries him, he saves two other leaves for later in his briefcase. Later as the story progresses, he realizes a truth of his wife being a swan and uses the second leaf to amke his wife a swan, again.

Despite his deep love and care for his wife, the man (Peters) gives in to the sacrifice of wife as he knows that would make her happy and contented. Here, we can clearly say that the theme of this story can be, Nature is an imposing force that is not meant to be altered - because the King who granted wishes to Peters was only trying to incur changes in how life was supposed to be by making alterations that cannot happen in everyone's life.

It can also be - Love cannot be wished or willed, but must occur naturally. - as this is a realization of Peters in the story when he lets his wife become a swan again.
