When was the Jazz Age? ap3x 4.2.2

sukhopar [10]

“There no longer was any distinction between rich and poor, notables and the others; we were all people condemned to the same fate-still unknown.” (pg. 21)
“Once again, the young men bound and gagged her. When they actually struck her, people shouted their approval.” (pg. 26)
“For us it meant true equality: nakedness. We trembled in the cold.” (pg. 35)
“We were incapable of thinking. Our senses numbed, everything was fading into a fog. We no longer clung to anything.” (pg. 36)
“The Kapos were beating us again, I no longer felt the pain.” (pg. 36)
“In a few seconds, we had ceased to be men. Had the situation not been so tragic, we might have laughed. We looked pretty strange!” (pg. 36)
“I became A-7713. From then on, I had no other name.” (pg. 42)
“At that moment in time, all that mattered to me was my daily bowl of soup, my crust of stale bread. The bread, the soup- those were my entire life. I was nothing but a body. Perhaps even less: a famished stomach. The stomach alone was measuring time.” (pg. 52)“I had watched it all happening without moving. I kept silent. In fact, I thought of stealing away in order not to suffer the blows. What’s more, if I felt anger at that moment, it was not directed at the Kapo but at my father. Why couldn't he have avoided Idek’s wrath? That was what life in a concentration camp had made of me…” (pg. 54)“We didn't know what to do. Tired of huddling on the ground, in hope of finding something, a piece of bread, perhaps, that a civilian might have forgotten there.” (pg. 56)
“Now I understood why Idek refused to leave us in the camp. He moved one hundred prisoners so that he could copulate with this girl! It struck me as terribly funny and I burst out laughing.” (pg. 57)
“I no longer felt anything except the lashes of the whip… Only the first really hurt.” (pg. 57)
“Two cauldrons of soup! Smack in the middle of the road, two cauldrons of soup with no one to guard them! A royal feast going to waste! Supreme temptation! Hundreds of eyes were looking at them, shining with desire. Two lambs with hundreds of wolves lying in wait for them. Two lambs without a shepherd, free for the taking. But who would dare?” (pg. 59)
“Fear was greater than hunger.” (pg. 59)
“A man appeared, crawling snakelike in the direction of the cauldrons. Hundreds of eyes were watching his every move. Hundreds of men were crawling with him, scraping their bodies with his on the stones. All hearts trembled, but mostly with envy. He was the one who had dared.” (pg. 59)
“Jealousy devoured us, consumed us. We never thought to admire him. Poor hero committing suicide for a ration or two more of soup… In our minds, he was already dead.” (pg. 59)

What could be a good conclusion sentences about video games?? PLEASE HELP!!!!

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

here ya go lad

Explanation:

Like many popular, entertaining, and addicting kid activities, video and computer games are looked down upon by many parents as time-wasters, and worse, and parents think that these games rot the brain. Also, the media and some experts are readily blamed for violent video games as the reason why some youth become violent or commit extreme anti-social behaviour. But many scientists and psychologists find that video games have many benefits – the main one being making kids smart. Video games may teach kids high-level thinking skills that they will need in the future.

A new study compiled by scientists at Yale University has found that video games are not harmful as long as those who play do not spend most of their time engaged in them. The Yale study says that the boys who played video games had better grades than those who did not, on average, and were less like to smoke cigarettes and engage in the consumption of banned substances like marijuana. Only 5 per cent of them had behaviour patterns like relieving tension only through gaming, having powerful urges to game that they cannot control, trying to limit time spent on video games, and failing. (Peart)

From the study, we can see that video games teach many skills to the developing child. Examples of these skills include problem-solving abilities, perseverance, pattern recognition, hypothesis testing, estimating skills, inductive reasoning, resource management, logistics, mapping, memory, quick thinking, and reasoned judgments (Sheff, 1994). Many of these skills are abstract and require higher-level thinking, which schools do not often teach children. By including a way to choose one's level of difficulty in most, if not all, video games, one can tailor the degree of intricacy of the game's tasks to meet one's skills. After the tasks are completed at a comfortable level, a child will feel motivated to attempt a higher degree of difficulty. By slowly ramping up the problem, the child can accomplish goals and learn while increasing their self-efficacy.

Sometimes the player does this almost every second of the game, giving the brain a real workout. According to researchers at the University of Rochester, Daphne Bavelier, a cognitive scientist, games simulating stressful events such as those found in battle or action games could be a training tool for real-world situations. The study suggests that playing action video games primes the brain to make quick decisions. Video games can be used to train soldiers and surgeons, according to the survey. (Benson)
