Sasha is writing an argumentative essay in support of the following thesis: because violations of human rights, genocide, fanaticism, and terrorism continue to claim lives on nearly every continent, it is clear that the world has learned little from the horrors of the german death camps. the topic sentence of one of her body paragraphs reads: the slaughter of innocents during wwii was sanctioned and even carried out by people who were somehow able to push away all that they had ever learned about right and wrong. which excerpt from elie wiesel's speech "hope, despair, and memory" would best support her claim? "fear dominated the universe. indeed this was another universe; the very laws of nature had been transformed. children looked like old men, old men whimpered like children. men and women from every corner of europe were suddenly reduced to nameless and faceless creatures desperate for the same ration of bread or soup, dreading the same end." "all those doctors of law or medicine or theology, all those lovers of art and poetry, of bach and goethe, who coldly, deliberately ordered the massacres and participated in them. what did their metamorphosis signify? could anything explain their loss of ethical, cultural and religious memory? " "the next question had to be, why go on? if memory continually brought us back to this, why build a home? why bring children into a world in which god and man betrayed their trust in one another? " "remembering is a noble and necessary act. the call of memory, the call to memory, reaches us from the very dawn of history. no commandment figures so frequently, so insistently, in the bible. it is incumbent upon us to remember the good we have received, and the evil we have suffered."

Which three parts of this passage from chapter 6 of emily brontë's wuthering heights show that hindley earnshaw did not care about the well-being of catherine and heathcliff after the death of mr. earnshaw? they both promised fair to grow up as rude as savages; the young master being entirely negligent how they behaved, and what they did, so they kept clear of him. he would not even have seen after their going to church on sundays, only joseph and the curate reprimanded his carelessness when they absented themselves; and that reminded him to order heathcliff a flogging, and catherine a fast from dinner or supper. but it was one of their chief amusements to run away to the moors in the morning and remain there all day, and the after punishment grew a mere thing to laugh at. the curate might set as many chapters as he for catherine to get by heart, and joseph might thrash heathcliff till his arm ached; they forgot everything the minute they were together again: at least the minute they had contrived some naughty plan of revenge; and many a time i’ve cried to myself to watch them growing more reckless daily, and i not daring to speak a syllable, for fear of losing the small power i still retained over the unfriended creatures. one sunday evening, it chanced that they were banished from the sitting-room, for making a noise, or a light offence of the kind; and when i went to call them to supper, i could discover them nowhere. we searched the house, above and below, and the yard and stables; they were invisible: and, at last, hindley in a passion told us to bolt the doors, and swore nobody should let them in that night. the household went to bed; and i, too, anxious to lie down, opened my lattice and put my head out to hearken, though it rained: determined to admit them in spite of the prohibition, should they return.
