According to some sources, there are more than 80 million cats living in American houses as pets today. Cats offer companionship and relaxation, but they also have specific needs that require pet owners' attention. Just as a human being must clean his dishes and his bathroom, a cat needs to have a bacteria-free food dish and litter box. With these facts in mind, Americans need to begin working on ways to improve the cleanliness of home areas for their cats.

Read the excerpt from "Politics and the English Language" by George Orwell. Probably it is better to put off using words as long as possible and get one’s meaning as clear as one can through pictures or sensations. Afterwards one can choose—not simply accept—the phrases that will best cover the meaning, and then switch round and decide what impressions one’s words are likely to make on another person. This last effort of the mind cuts out all stale or mixed images, all prefabricated phrases, needless repetitions, and humbug and vagueness generally. Which best describes George Orwell’s purpose and the way he achieves it in this excerpt? Orwell’s purpose is to inform his readers about political events.

To make me die with a restorative. [Kisses him.]

They had laughed at the shabbiness of the hotel. "Oh well," they'd said, "we aren't going to spend any time inside." And
they had not. They'd spent the day and evening sightseeing and had not retreated to their rooms until they were spent.
Now Ana appraised her modest accommodations, remembering how the window in her room had amused her friends,
as it offered a view of a brick wall not six inches away. "You get what you pay for!" they'd exclaimed, closing the heavy
curtains.
The window captured Ana's attention again. As she readied for bed, she heard a persistent tapping coming from outside.
Ana reasoned with herself, reminded herself that only small bird or bug in distress could fit in such a space. The tapping
suggested otherwise, and she turned to investigate.

hi i got some questions for my friends only


Who do you look up to the most, and what qualities do you love about that person?
What would be your perfect day? ...
What's your biggest fear?
How do you like to be comforted when you're sad or upset?
What's your all-time favorite memory?

1. Read the below except from the Preface written by Elie Wiesel about his memoir Night and then respond to the question that follows.

…The topic of Auschwitz has become part of mainstream culture. There are films, plays, novels, international conferences, exhibitions, annual ceremonies with the participation of the nation’s officialdom. The most striking example is that of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C.; it has received more than twenty-two million visitors since its inauguration in 1993.
This may be because the public knows that the number of survivors is shrinking daily and is fascinated by the idea of sharing memories that will soon be lost. For in the end, it is all about memory, its sources, and its magnitude, and, of course, its consequences.
For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous by offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.
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. (25 points)
