"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you've heard a lot of things from the prosecutor. You've heard me say many things as well. You've even heard the judge says things to you as this trial has gone on. What you need to keep in mind is that justice is blind. "So with your eyes closed, consider the facts. My client has not broken the law. Let me say that again. My client broke no laws. He is protected by the Bill of Rights to write an article that criticizes the governor. In fact, by exercising his right to free speech, I would say he is a true patriot. If the citizens of this country cannot criticize their leaders without being sued, then we do not deserve the right to free speech." What is the author's purpose in writing this speech?

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.
