I believe the answer is C

The definition of a parable is: a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, as told by Jesus in the Gospels.
The definition of pathos is: a quality that evokes pity or sadness

In the excerpt above, when Wiesel says "Only God and God alone can and must remember everything," he is using parable to illustrate how great God is, by giving an example of something he can do that not one person on earth can.
Also, by saying "Without the ability to forget, man would live in a permanent, paralyzing fear of death," Wiesel is using pathos to stimulate a feeling of sadness, as thinking of how paralyzing fear of death cannot be very pleasant.

The correct answer is C

A parable is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse that illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. It differs from a fable in that fables employ animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature as characters, whereas parables have human characters. The simplest way to put it is a parable is a type of analogy.

Pathos is a communication technique used most often in rhetoric (where it is considered one of the three modes of persuasion, alongside ethos and logos), and in literature, film and other narrative art

Benvolio and Tybalt come upon the servants fighting in Act 1. Analyze the dialogue of the text and their reactions to the fight.

White raven [17]

Servants of the Capulet and Montague houses start a fight. Benvolio sees them and rises his sword to stop the fight. On the other hand, when Tybalt sees Benvolio he immediately prepares to attack. This shows how opposites Benvolio and Tybalt are: Benvolio is a more rational, calmed man whereas Tybalt is impulsive and prone to fight.

An example of how they are foil characters can be found in their first interaction. Benvolio says to the servants,

Part fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do

attempting to separate them and asks Tybalt to"keep the peace" to which Tybalt replies

What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee

Why might Carl Sandburg have placed an emphasis on politeness among the animals in the Committee of Sixty Six and in the interac

aalyn [17]

I believe he did that in order to teach children how to interact with adults.
He was aware of his own surroundings in which children were impolite towards adults so he wanted to show what happens in the animal world. He wanted to portray young animals as polite and respectful, unlike human children who were unruly.

Roy Ebihara and Aiko Ebihara seek to recover something that was taken from each of them when they and their families were remove

melomori [17]

Answer:

They seek to regain pride in who they are. This desire is understandable, because their nationality and ethnicity made them go through very difficult situations, which could cause shame and hostility against their own ethnicity and culture.

Explanation:

Roy Ebihara and Aiko Ebihara are a Japanese couple who were forced to leave their homes as children and live in Japanese concentration camps in the USA.

The concentration camps for Japanese people were a bad environment of extreme misery and violence. The Japanese were moved there, just for who they are, for their culture and customs. This caused many Japanese to lose the pride of their ethnicity, wishing to be other people and often denying their own roots.

Now, years after this historic event, Roy Ebihara and Aiko Ebihara wish to recover that pride and this is totally justified, because our ethnicity defines our high self-esteem and our perception of ourselves.
