I am seated in one of the last rows of chairs reserved for the audience who will attend the Barnard College Graduation Ceremony. The climate is pleasant and that is why everyone wears comfortable clothes, but consistent with the occasion. We didn't see a cloud in the sky and the environment has a fresh wind, totally balancing the feeling of warmth coming from the sun.
The chairs are white, plastic, but big enough to accommodate my body.
A few minutes after my arrival, the ceremony began, soon the graduates entered and settled in the place reserved for them and in a few minutes we can hear Toni Morrison's speech.
The speech was very emotional and highlighted the challenges and advantages of our professionals who were being trained that day. An important point of the speech, impressed me, when Morrison pointed out the importance of this new generation of professionals looking for equality and gender in their workplaces, since the women present there and those who still entered the job market, struggled to get their diplomas and have a good academic life and for that reason they deserve to be respected and have their rights guaranteed, as well as their wishes, capacity and autonomy respected.

explain: Sometimes I am asked if I know “the response to Auschwitz”; I answer that not only do I not know it, but that I don’t even know if a tragedy of this magnitude has a response. What I do know is that there is “response” in responsibility. When we speak of this era of evil and darkness, so close and yet so distant, “responsibility” is the key word. The witness has forced himself to testify. For the youth of today, for the children who will be born tomorrow. He does not want his past to become their future.
In these final thoughts from the preface precluding his memoir Night, Elie Wiesel talks about memories and trying to understand Auschwitz. What are your thoughts about the above excerpt in context with a theme you observed at work in the novel? Write a response of no less than three paragraphs explaining how the above excerpt introduces and supports a theme you identified in the novel. Make sure to use textual evidence from the novel to support your answer
The text shown above reinforces the context of the importance of keeping memories of the past alive, so that they do not repeat themselves in the future. This theme is very evident throughout the novel, because it presents us with a harsh and cruel reality that happened in the past, reinforcing our responsibility in not allowing it to happen again in the future.
The novel written by Wiesel shows us the cruelty of the holocaust. Although we know this story and know how destructive and inhuman it was, reading the accounts of someone who witnessed these facts, like Wiesel, is impressive and makes us afraid and disgusted. We do not want this to happen again, we do not want these conditions in our future and that is why we must keep these atrocities alive and debated, so that our and future generations do not make the same mistakes.
However, we know that we have failed to repeat the mistakes of the past. Wiesel says that we do not want another holocaust in our history and in our life and we agree with that when reading the novel, but we forget that when we do not fight against racism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia and any other type of prejudice in our homes and in our friendships. . We also fail when we don't vote without responsibility and elect and support prejudiced, intolerant and authoritarian leaders. This shows that although we are afraid, we have learned nothing from the history of humanity and are doomed to experience the same situations.

possible
B. Showing multiple characters' perspectives on the same event or
situation
C. Avoiding common pitfalls in story writing, such as telling rather
than showing
D. Creating suspense by limiting the reader's perspective on the
story's events
C. Avoiding common pitfalls in story writing, such as telling rather than showing is an advantage of telling a story from the first-person point of view.
Advantages of telling a storyA first-person narrator provides the reader a front-row seat to the story. It also: Provides story credibility. The first-person point of view builds a rapport with readers by transferring a personal story directly to them.Telling stories opens the eyes of youthful kids to new things – places, culture, traditions. It creates them to imagine being in the place of the story's characters which expands their empathy as they try to understand their actions.The biggest benefit of the first-person point of view exists in how deeply it delves into the mind of the narrator. No other point of view stands as close. In first-person, the reader gets to see all of the narrator's thoughts, feelings, and knowledge.The first-person point of view permits you, as the reader/audience, to be able to see into that specific character's mind, giving you insight into their thoughts and emotions.Hence, The answer is not "B," because a point of view that permits the reader/audience to see multiple viewpoints on an identical event/situation is not a first-person point of contention. It is a third-person view.
