Read the excerpts from a biography and a memoir about fictional news anchor Melanie Waters. First, identify a way in which both

accounts are similar. Then, explain how the two accounts differ in their use of imagery and figurative language.
Biography:
October 4, 1976, was a crisp autumn day in New York City, but more would change that day than the leaves on the trees in Central Park. On that evening, Melanie Waters broke new ground for women in journalism, becoming the first female to cohost the nightly news on a major network. When she took her spot on the ABC Evening News next to longtime host Marcus Radner, she also broke a different barrier - she was now the highest-paid journalist of either gender, earning a million dollars a year. Waters would only stay on the ABC Evening News for a year and a half, as Radner never accepted the arrangement and made his unhappiness clear. By that point, however, Waters had broken through a brick wall that had kept females out of the newsroom since the beginning of television.

Memoir.
I sat at the desk and glanced over at Marcus, and the contempt radiated from him like he was a nuclear reactor, pulsing with dangerous energy. I never knew if it was my gender or my paycheck that annoyed him most, but I really didn't have time to care. I turned and looked straight forward at the teleprompter, waiting for the red light that meant my face - a woman's face, for the first time in the history of television - would be anchoring the nightly news. It hit me in that moment in a way that it hadn't before I was the captain of the Mayflower. I was leading a trail of covered wagons to the Pacific. I was an astronaut hurtling toward the moon. The red light blinked on. I smiled. Calm came over me like a warm breeze. And I spoke: Good evening, I'm Melanie Waters. And this is the ABC Evening News

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

It states that in the last sentence of the paragraph that the old traditions for the people who most likely worshipped the Kota were lost, and their old ways changed greatly over time. Because of this, I'd logically assume that many of the descendants of the original tribesmen who looked up to this figure see Kota today as a remnant of an old tradition or way of life, thus this is why I selected D.

3. What are some ways that Wiesel and the other Jews at the camps try to observe their
uysha [10]

Answer:

Elie and the other Jewish prisoners in the camp practiced their faith in as much as they can, praying before eating, singing songs before sleeping, observing the important festivals, etc.

But as the days of the captivity increase, Elie began to question God's silence and even His existence amidst the suffering of His people.  

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel's memoir <em>Night </em>tells the first-hand experience of the Holocaust and its repercussions on the Jewish people during the German's discriminating acts against the race. The book became one of the most important books and evidence or source to study the events of the discrimination of the Jewish people during the Nazis' regime.

The <u>prisoners along with Elie managed to keep their tradition and religion through the small acts of praying before eating, and at times fasting and singing Hasidic melodies</u>. They also <u>observed the New Year celebration</u> and observed the <u>festival of Yom Kippur</u>, despite their already starving condition in the camps.

At first, Elie also had a strong belief in God. He kept his religious faith and practices as much as he can. But the longer he stayed in the camps, the more he saw of the suffering of "God's chosen people". This angered him and he<u> began to question whether there is really a God and if there is, why He would allow his people to suffer such misfortunes and sufferings</u>. Since his own captivity, his belief in God began to decrease and began to <u>question God's silence and existence at the face of His people's suffering</u>.
