Read the paragraph from nick’s personal narrative. standing alone in my family’s barn, i thought about how much hard work and time my parents had invested—how much hard work and time we had all invested—in maintaining a fully operational farm. i did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. what would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents? just as i was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden commotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts. with animals squawking and dust flying, i scrambled to pinpoint the source of this unexpected intrusion. in seconds that felt more like minutes, i was successful . . and i could scarcely believe what my eyes were seeing. which element of a personal narrative would be best for nick to include next?

Read the excerpt from elie wiesel’s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their “production”? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was “processing” ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single night—or even for just a few hours—would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.

May someone me answer these questions
