Based on this excerpt, what complete viewpoint could a
prepared speaker share in a discussion?
O Miep and Eli had to look through a lot of rubble and
debris to find all of the pages of the diary.
O Miep Gies' determination to pick up all of Anne's diary
pages shows how dedicated to the Frank family she
was.
Read the following excerpt from Anne Frank
Remembered by Miep Gies.
Then I walked into Mr. and Mrs. Frank's bedroom. On
the floor, amidst the chaos of papers and books, my eye
lit on the little red-orange checkered, cloth-bound diary
that Anne had received from her father on her thirteenth
birthday. I pointed it out to Elli. Obeying my gesture, she
leaned down and picked it up for me, putting it into my
hands. I remembered how happy Anne had been to
receive this little book to write her private thoughts in. I
knew how precious her diary was to Anne. My eyes
scanned the rubble for more of Anne's writings, and I
saw the old accounting books and many more writing
papers that Eli and I had given to her when she had run
out of pages in the checkered diary. Eli was still very
scared, and looked to me for direction. I told Elli, "Help
me pick up all Anne's writings."
O Miep Gies should have realized that Anne and her
family were not coming back to the attic.
o I think Miep Gies already knew that the diary would
someday be published and read by many people.

Read the passage. excerpt from "why equal pay is worth fighting for" by senator elizabeth warren, april 17, 2014 i honestly can't believe that we're still arguing over equal pay in 2014. when i started teaching elementary school after college, the public school district didn't hide the fact that it had two pay scales: one for men and one for women. women have made incredible strides since then. but 40 years later, we're still debating equal pay for equal work. women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation. bloomberg analyzed census data and found that median earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of 265 major occupation categories. in 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women. that's not an accident; that's discrimination. the effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long lasting. today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on mom's salary as they do on dad's, if not more. women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat. women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but it's not easy. today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes. here in the senate, sen. barbara mikulski (d-md.) introduced the paycheck fairness act to give women the tools to combat wage discrimination. it would ensure that salary differences have something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not just because they are women. senator warren states that the effects of pay discrimination are long-lasting. is this a valid argument supported by accurate evidence? no; warren weakens her point by claiming that the paycheck fairness act would "give women the tools to combat wage discrimination." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "for middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by." yes; warren supports her point by noting, "pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women." no; warren weakens her point by noting, "today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy across the hall how much money he makes."
