1. Dehumanization is the process by which the Nazis gradually reduced the Jews to little more than "things" which were a nuisance to them. Discuss at least three specific examples of events that occurred which dehumanized Eliezer, his father, or his fellow Jews.



2. After Eliezer’s father was beaten by Idek, a Kapo, Eliezer says, "I had watched the whole scene without moving. I kept quiet. In fact, I was thinking of how to get farther away so that I would not be hit myself. What is more, any anger I felt at that moment was directed, not against the Kapo, but against my father. I was angry with him, for not knowing how to avoid Idek’s outbreak. That is what concentration camp life had made of me." Discuss what the last line signifies. Discuss how his attitude had changed.



3. Discuss why you think the townspeople remained complacent despite the advance of the German army.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I only know a few of the answers, so I will give them to you in a short answer format, based on which you can construct your paragraph. I hope it helps!

Explanation:

1. Three examples:

a. Beating up his father with an iron bar for doing nothing wrong (Page 54)

b. Whipping Elie on the crate in front of all of the inmates, after Elie accidently caught him having you know what with the young Polish girl. (Page 57)

c. Having sons throw their fathers in furnaces (Chapter 3)

2. The last line meant that Elie was no longer the Elizer that he used to be. He's like a total stranger. Elie was angry at his father for being weak and not for defending himself. He probably believed that showing you're strong can prevent you from being beaten up.

3. The townspeople thought that the Germans wouldn't reach their town. However, they were wrong though. Furthermore, the Germans approached with such kindness that they believed in every single word they said. Also, the people were kinda like outcasts..

4. Elizer lied to Stein because he thought it would pain Stein if he finds out that his family were probably dead. Besides, his family was his reason to survive. He was happy when he thought his family were okay. -> He was weeping with joy. (pg.44) Elie's mother hasn't received a letter from her niece since 1940.

5. The significance of "night" in the novel is that its a symbol of darkness. Remember night means dark and stuff like that? Well, while Elie was in the camp he struggled to survive. In this place, it is every man for himself, and you cannot think of other. Not even your father. (pg.110)

6. Second quote means that Elie saw a young boy be killed in front of many people. He was so young. Death was around Elie. (I am not sure about this one though...)

Answers

Answer:

Victor Frankenstein best exhibits the five characteristics of a tragic hero; Peripeteia, hamartia, hubris, anagnorisis, and fate. Victor possesses flaws that go down the pathway of downfall.

Some people think that having money leads to happiness. Do you agree why or why not

Answers

Answer:

Disagree

Explanation:

I would disagree as stuff like food, nice cars and nice houses can cause happiness. However money itself cannot. They can open the doors to happiness but cannot create happiness itself.

Answer:

I agree and I don't.

Explanation:

Why I agree is because if you need a certain amount of money so that you can keep your kids while going you're going through child custody then in that case money can help with happiness. Why I don't agree is because some people get money hungry and it just causes all problems for people.

Hey bab3s! How do you punctuate the title of an article in your paper's title?

That's kinda confusing so for example: Response to (title of article I'm responding to)

Would you italicize it, put it in quotation marks, or leave it blank? Cause i dunno and G00gle ain't helpin me :(

Thank you!

Answers

The title of an article in a paper is placed inside quotation marks. A colon follows the author's name and is followed by the date. If the parenthetical citation directly follows its corresponding text, then no other punctuation is used (<i>Author 1, Date</i>). If there are multiple authors, only the senior author's name appears in the title (<i>(1st Author 2, 3)</i>) with all names listed after it in normal order. The usual rules for bibliography entries apply to separate publications by the same author(s) in one year (<i>"Article Title"</i>, Year)

compare the segregated south during the great depression era to our time and place today. using evidence from the text, how are we similar? how are we different? (to kill a mockingbird)

Answers

The book shows how segregation harmed blacks in the south more intensely than blacks in the north. This made the southern states more difficult to overcome the Great Depression.

We can arrive at this answer because:

"To kill a mockingbird" shows how segregation was a very violent system that harmed society, especially the black population.Although both the south and the north of the country were very racist regions and maintained a high segregationist standard, the south was much more imposing in maintaining racial segregation.Thus, while the black workforce was still considered necessary to overcome the great depression in the north of the country, blacks were heavily excluded from the workforce.

This meant that black people had many economic difficulties and lived a life with many limitations, which kept them as an easy target for racism and prejudice. However, the white population was not enough to reverse the problems with the great depression, becoming a more backward region economically and socially compared to the north of the country.
