“For Yom Ha’Shoah” by Sonia Weitz
Come, take this giant leap with me
into the other world . . . the other place
where language fails and imagery defies,
denies man’s consciousness . . . and dies
upon the altar of insanity.
Come, take this giant leap with me
into the other world . . . the other place
and trace the eclipse of humanity . . .
where children burned while mankind stood by
and the universe has yet to learn why
. . . has yet to learn why.

Answer:
“For Yom Ha’Shoah” by Sonia Weitz
a) This poem means that the holocaust was the most terrible human tragedy. It was an unnecessary suffering that any human being could inflict on a fellow being, no matter the provocation. It was uncalled for.
b) It raises the question of human conscience. Those who perpetrated or aided in the perpetration of the holocaust, just like the Rwandan genocide, can they be considered as human beings.
c) Poetry can deepen one's study of the Holocaust as it emotionally and graphically depicts the helplessness and sufferings that was the lot of the perceived enemies while the other looked unconcerned. For example, see how she wrote: "... and trace the eclipse of humanity ... where children burned while mankind stood by ..." This experience should move any soul to pity. For me, the Holocaust was regrettable.
d) Unlike other traditional historical accounts like fiction and prose, poetry credibly shows that the events mentioned were real and not just imagined. Poetry utilizes aesthetic and often rhythmic qualities of language, e.g. phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre, to evoke meanings in addition to the ostensible meaning. Were this poem written in fiction or prose form, there would be questions to its narration accuracy. The writer is not trying for the audience to identify with the specific characters, since they are universalized, but she is evoking your emotional reaction to the events that took place in a period of time and at a known place.
e1) Verbs used by Weitz included: come, take, fails, defies, denies, dies, trace, burned, stood, and has to learn.
e2) The verbs offered an invitation to witness or imagine what really happened in the other world. This means that something horrible actually took place in "the other world." For example, "Come, take this leap with me into ... They narrated that words failed to restrain an outrageous genocide inflicted on a particular people. Man's consciousness was denied. Man's consciousness died out of insanity. To "trace the eclipse of humanity ..." is an invitation for records to be documented of how humanity failed humanity just because of racial distinctions, bitterness, and unforgiving spirit. There is also a futuristic outlook depicted by the verbs, especially "the universe has yet to learn why ..."
f) Weitz does not believe that it is possible to understand the horrors of the Holocaust. It is only those who conscience had been stolen by the devil that can understand and explain the horrors.
g) Studying the brutality of the Holocaust shows that humanity had yet to civilize. Humanity has yet to believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ prayed to the Father, "Forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Humanity is still bent on brutalizing those who are not like them, those who offer different opinions, those whose skin color are not similar to ours, those whose diction are different from us, etc. History continues to repeat itself every time. But, if you examine the facts closely, we are one, from the same parents, Adam and Eve, according to the Christian scriptures. We are brothers and sisters! When we kill one of us, we kill ourselves gradually, diminishing ourselves.
Explanation:
a) “For Yom Ha’Shoah” is a poem written by Sonia Weitz, a child-holocaust survivor. “For Yom Ha’Shoah” means "For the Day of Holocaust Remembrance."
Answer:
Connection Questions:
This poem serves as a soul searching experience.It raises the question of the morality of mankind.Poetry can deepen one's study of the Holocaust by exposing the evil done during the Holocaust and describing how helpless the children who were burned were.What we can learn from poetry that traditional history might not capture is the mood, emotions and perspective of events that occurred in times past that is unique to poetry.Verbs used in the poems
"..take this giant leap with me..."
"...trace the eclipse of humanity . . .
where children burned while mankind stood by
and the universe has yet to learn why ..."
The verbs help to intensify the description of "the other world" by describing how children were burned and humanity was helpless to stop it.
I believe that Weitz believes it possible to try and understand the horrors of the Holocaust through description in the poem but not to fully understand or grasp the realities of the horrors that people faced during the Holocaust.
We can gain knowledge about what happened during the Holocaust so we cannot repeat the horrors that was done in the past.

1. Read the political cartoon
2. In the text box, write 2 sentences explaining the point of the cartoon in your own words
3. In the text box, write 2 more sentences explaining whether or not you agree with the cartoon and why
My meaning:
The kid didn´t read the sign correctly. On the sign it says someone and she is looking at someone. I do agree because climate change is something o worry about. But also I do not agree because the little girl does not understand what climate change and what the sign means.
Answer:
The idea is that the protester wants something done about climate change, expecting other people to do it, but won't do it himself. Hence why the child refers to him as "someone." Because the protester is "someone" who could make a change if he made the effort. Then just give your opinion on if you agree with this or not.

He pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the first skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him. Which detail is the most relevant as support for the central idea of this excerpt?
A.Washington escaped injury when four bullets ripped his coat.
B.Washington was commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754.
C.Washington pursued land and military interests as a young man.
D.Washington was alive during the time of the French and Indian War.(Answer is not C)

A.paraphrase
B.retell
C.summarize
D.give an opinion( Answer is not C)
Answer:
Which detail is the most relevant as support for the central idea of this excerpt?
A.Washington escaped injury when four bullets ripped his coat.
The central idea which one of them is George Wasington military arts was supported by him escaping injury when shot at during his work as an Aide to a General.
What has Maria been asked to do?
B.retell
Maria was asked to retell the story she read which would be done in her own choice of words.
Explanation:
Answer:
B. Washington was commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754.
A. paraphrase
Explanation:
In this excerpt, the author discusses the early life and accomplishments of George Washington. We learn that Washington pursued interests that related well to his military career. We also learn that he was able to experience the French and Indian War, and was even at danger of dying in it. This experience would not have been possible without his being commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754. Therefore, this is the most relevant detail in this excerpt.
In this example, Maria has to explain the details and information that she read in an article. However, she is asked to do so in her own words. This is known as paraphrasing. When we paraphrase, we convey a particular idea by using our own words, as opposed to those of the author. This helps the reader show how well he understands the subject at hand.

Using evidence and logic construct a reasoned ethical argument in support of equal pay regardless of gender
Answer:
Regardless of a persons gender they should be able to earn equal pay.
Explanation:
If we take a look at one of the oldest documents in the world it says, "All men are created equal". At that point in time it refereed to men with status, men with property, and men who where white. However, understanding the fact that many women like Rosa Parks,Amelia Earhart, and Mae C. Jemison fought for their ability to have a say and do what they dreamed. Men are given the opportunities because they were born with it. It is unfair that simply because your a man you get paid more. However, Women earn everything they get.... they fight for what they want and they put both their heart and sole into their jobs into there families and into their dreams. Men and WoMEN should be given equal pay regardless of their gender but by the way they try everyday and the way they give their all in their jobs.

plzzzzzz help me write a one-paragraph summary in the text box that follows the article.
Some scientists gaze into outer space to look for answers. Some scientists seek answers in the depths of the sea. When Georg Steinhauser wanted answers, he looked within himself. Well, he looked within his bellybutton to be exact. The Austrian chemist spent three years researching the contents of his navel and the navels of others. He has solved one of life's greatest mysteries. We now know exactly what bellybutton lint contains!
Steinhauser presented his findings in the online version of the journal Medical Hypotheses. The Vienna University scientist analyzed over 500 samples to determine the exact makeup of the lint. As suspected, most of the lint was made up of cotton from clothing. The fabric pieces are not alone, though. Steinhauser found that the average bellybutton also contained pieces of dead skin, sweat, dust, and fat.
Steinhauser's notes also explained how lint accumulates. Stomach hairs tend to grow in a circular pattern around the bellybutton. The hairs act like small hooks, capturing and holding contents within. Shaving stomach hair can lead to a lint-free bellybutton, but don't act too hastily. Although the contents of your navel may be a nuisance, research suggests that lint has a purpose. It is nature's way of protecting your bellybutton from germs and unwanted objects. (20 points)

1. Pros: Reasons to keep using fossil fuels - ( 4 points )
2. Cons: Reasons to stop using fossil fuels - ( 4 points )
pls write a minimum of 4 points! Give the pros: reasons to keep using fossil fuels
Answer-
A pro to using fossil fuels is, because it is cheap and reliable,fossil fuels are cheap and reliable sources of energy. They are excellent types of fuel to use for the energy base-load, as opposed to some of the more unreliable energy sources such as wind and solar. Another Pro is that, they are well developed,the technology we use to harness the energy in fossil fuels is well developed. The main reason for this is that fossil fuels have been used to power our world for many decades.
On the other side there is also some cons on fossil fuels. A con on using fossil fuels is that, they contribuate to global warming. Fossil fuels are not green sources of energy. In fact, they contain high amounts of carbon and have been blamed for being the main contributor to global warming. The last con is, fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources. This means that there is a finite amount of fossil fuels available and the reserves are not replenished naturally.

Answer:
d
Explanation:
A smile started at the edges of his mouth as he labored on his creation. He called me over. "Mijo, get my colors and the glue." Thus option D is correct.
What is the theme?A theme is an important, overarching concept. As the characters work toward their goals, the larger issue becomes clear. It has less to do with whether they will win the race, get the date, or discover the wealth and more to do with the inner issues y that emerge throughout their endeavors.
In this instance, it symbolizes the affection here between dad and child. We can conclude that the father is pleased to see his son based on features like "a smile" and "Mijo." Here, each person's expression of love is unique. In this, there was a life that was selfless and is shown in a parental kind of manner. Therefore, option D is the correct option.
