In Chapter 7 of Night by Elie Wiesel, describe the scene Elie witnessed between the father and son.

In the seventh
chapter of this novel, Elie and his fellow prisoners board a train car following a two night
long, freezing cold death march from Buna to Gleiwitz, as well as three additional days
afterward in which no food or drink are distributed. Prior to boarding the train, the prisoners
are given one ration of bread, which they consume along with spoonfuls of snow after spending
the majority of an entire week with little or no food, despite having run almost 80 kilometers
on foot.

The prisoners board the train in Poland and spend ten more days and
nights with no food, while en route to Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany. While the train
is stopped, a crowd of German spectators throw pieces of bread into train cars to watch the
starving passengers fight one another for the chance to eat. Elie witnesses an old man who has
hidden a piece of bread under his shirt being tackled and crushed by his son while attempting to
take a bite. The man's heart-wrenching words to his son read...

What is wrong with modern education as suggested by the poem "Modern Ode to the Modern School," by John Erskine?

According to Erskine's poem, the primary
failure of the modern school system is that it fails to teach students anything beyond the
absolute minimum necessary in order for them to do what needs to be done. The school board has
determined that nothing "superfluous" should be taughtthat is, if somebody wants to be
a bricklayer, the school will teach them how to be a perfect bricklayer, but nothing in addition
to this. The problem, as Erskine sees it, is that this allows somebody to begin a career but not
to advance within this career.

When the bricklayer in question was made a
foreman, he found himself unable to do it, so he went back to school in search of a course which
would teach him. He was taught, once again, exactly what he needed in order to become a good
foremanbut "nothing more." This meant that every time the man advanced in his career,
he had to go back again and again for more education. If his original education had taught him
transferable life skills, Erskine suggests, there would have been no need for all this
subsequent schooling, as the man would have been taught initiative and the capacity to improve
himself on his own, without having to return over and over to be spoon-fed only the bare minimum
of new information by the school board.

If your company plans to close a plant and has given 60 days' advance notice per the plant closing law, should you have any concerns as to the...

The Worker
Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, or WARN, requires manufacturers to give employees a
sixty-day advance notice if they are going to close down a plant. The notice is supposed to help
the factory workers prepare for the job market through retraining. It also gives them time to
look for new jobs.

Since most factory workers depend on that job for their
livelihood, you are likely to come across disgruntled employees after the notice. These workers
may be more aggressive at work because they don't know whether theyll get work after the factory
closes down. Take extra security measures and increase the number of guards in case the workers
decide to vandalize the plant out of anger.

You should also tell your
supervisors to be more alert and make sure that their juniors are always in protective gear.
Anger often leads to mistakes by the workers. These mistakes can result in serious injury and
costly lawsuits. Therefore, be extra careful and monitor everyone.

Apart from
taking extra precautionary measures, make sure that you engage with the factory workers. Be
honest with them and tell them the reason why the plant is closing down. Create a rapport so
that you can make the process easy for them. Thank them for their service. If they are
professionals, they wont hold it against you. Instead, they will continue to carry out their
duties diligently until the final day.

In Ruth Forman's "Poetry Should Ride the Bus," how do the images in each stanza reveal the speaker's attitude toward poetry? Do you agree with the...

The poem
argues that poetry should be a bright, positive force that is interwoven into the fabric of
everyday life, not "out there" in a dusty library tome nobody reads.

In the first stanza, Forman uses theof a polka-dotted dress and doing cartwheels down
the street to show how poetry can brighten and sustain us in a childlike way even as we pass
unhappy scenes such as crack houses. This imagery and juxtaposition of poetry's brightness with
the dark elements of society continues in the second stanza, when Forman compares a poem to
"bright red lipstick" and being pretty even as men shoot "craps" around the
corner.

should also wear "plum suits" but not be so
"educated" it can't sit on the porch steps with ordinary people and chat. It should be
tucked between dinner foods like greens and chicken wings. Poetry should bring hope and
"revolution" into everyday life.

All these metaphors describe
poetry as a form that should be written in everyday language that anyone can
understand....

According to the sermon, what is a constant threat to all human beings?

Edwards
defines human "wickedness" as a constant threat to all human beings.  This condition
is what invokes God's anger and is what Edwards sees as the fundamental threat in being in the
world.  For Edwards, the basic condition of wickedness that is intrinsic to human beings is that
against which God directs his anger against:

So that it is
not because God is unmindful of their wickedness, and does not resent it, that he does not let
loose his hand and cut them off. God is not altogether such an one as themselves, though they
may imagine him to be so. The wrath of God burns against them, their damnation does not slumber;
the pit is prepared, the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them; the
flames do now rage and glow. The glittering sword is whet, and held over them, and the pit hath
opened its mouth under them.

Edwards sees the threat of
wickedness present in those who knowingly turn from God's grace and power.  He also sees it in
those who are "spiritually somnolent."  Edwards seeks to awake these individuals for
their actions cause God great anger, and thus pose a constant threat to individual salvation.
 It is here in which righteousness is defined in a clear manner:  One must be aware of and
demonstrate embrace towards the power of God.  One cannot live in slumber and expect God to not
take action against them.  "The hearts of damned souls" contain a level of
"wickedness" that causes God to be filled with great anger.  It is this condition of
being that Edwards identifies as critical to the spiritual awakening of humanity.  It is
critical to avoid the fate of condemnation from the divine.  Aspects of this include the
"rejection" of the divine in the form of God and Christ.  When this happens,
wickedness is present and this becomes the constant threat to all human
beings.

What is the difference between unitary and federal systems?

Put simply, the
difference between a unitary
and a federal government is that a unitary government puts its
power in one
central government while in a federal system the governing power is divided
into
federal and local governing bodies that connect to the national
government.

The Unitary governing
system:

€¢ Places
its power in one central
governing system

€¢ Very little political power
exists
outside the central government

€¢ The powers of this governing
system
are uniformly applied throughout

€¢ All major
government decisions are made
by the central government

€¢
If smaller government units are established they
are controlled by the
central government and can be abolished by such without their

consent

€¢ Many unitary governments are either dictatorships
or
totalitarian

€¢ France, although Democratic, is
governed by a Unitarian
body

€¢ Kuwait, Saudi Arabia,
Barbados, Morocco, and Spain are examples of
unitary monarchy
government

€¢ China, Afghanistan, Italy, Zambia, and the

Ukraine are examples of unitary republic government

The
Federal Governing System:

€¢
Distributes power from the
national government to local/state governments to
adopt laws that are reasonable to the country
as a whole and the
localities

€¢ Power may be diffused in the federal

system

€¢ Multi-national states often have a federal
system

€¢ Larger countries often adopt the federal system
since constituents may live in areas
remote to the location of the central
government

€¢ Ethnicities with in a
country may lead to a
federal system as their rules and laws may vary. An example of this is the

small country of Belgium which balances the needs two distinct ethnic
groups

€¢ The United States has a federal governing system
with a national government and
Constitution, in conjunction with states
governments and constitutions

Music and Film essay question: What are the differences between an original score, an adapted score, and an arranged score? Why would a director...

In music
terminology, an original score is music that is written for a specific film. An adapted score,
on the other hand, is based on music that already exists. It is used to accompany a film, but
instead of being written specifically for that film, a substantial part of it is borrowed from
an existing composition that was written for another purpose. The music remains recognizable,
but it is adapted, or changed, to suit the context of the new...
