Read the following excerpt from the article "Vision, Voice and the Power of Creation: An Author Speaks Out," by T. A. Barron, and answer the question that follows:

Another way to tap the power of imagination is through place. My own background as a writer is rooted in nature, having grown up reading Henry David Thoreau, Rachel Carson, and John Muir long before I ever dipped into Madeleine L'Engle, Lloyd Alexander, Ursula Le Guin, E. B. White, or J.R.R. Tolkien. My early writings were really nature journals; at nine, I wrote a complete biography—of a tree. (It was a once-majestic chestnut tree not far from my home.) So it should come as no surprise that I view place as much more than just a setting for a story. It is, in truth, another form of character, no less alive and complex, mysterious and contradictory, than the richest character in human form. the author writes that he "wrote a complete biography- of a tree." what message is implied about the tree with this statement?

A: the author couldn't think of any other subject for a biography.

B:the author didn't think a partial biography was enough.

C:the author didn't want to speak for the tree.

D:the author believed the tree had a life story, like a person ​

In James Joyce's "Araby," the narrator uses light and dark imagery to set the tone and mood of the story and also to describe the nature of life on the street on which he lived. Which word from this excerpt indicates the street’s dead-end location and its dullness? North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free. An uninhabited house of two storeys stood at the blind end, detached from its neighbours in a square ground. The other houses of the street, conscious of decent lives within them, gazed at one another with brown imperturbable faces.

Why is this excerpt a good example of a feature often
found in a myth?
O It features a reference to the earth.
O It features a reference to the sky.
O It features a reference to the origin of the tribe.
O It features a reference to a supernatural being.

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 exce
'rpt 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)

I AM GIVING BRAINLIEST! PLEASEEEEE HELPPP I NEED HELPPP
Once upon a time, there were two brothers named Mark and John, they lived in New York City. One day they went to eat in a restaurant with their Uncle, James. Uncle James is a leader of soldiers, who wanted to discover the island of Death and see what was on it.

Uncle James wanted to explore "The Death Island" because a lot of people were saying that this Island is like The Bermuda Triangle and WORSE which can bring you to death. He thought that he could defeat the fear of this island and find the treasure that was hidden inside the heart of the island. Many people tried going to the island but they all disappeared and what the people found was the remains of their body thrown in the ocean. Uncle James wanted John and Mark to go with him to discover the island because he liked the determination that Mark and John had. He went to Mark and John and asked them if they could go with him for $1,000,000.

After he offered them the money they liked the offer, they went to their mom, Sofia. They told her "Uncle James told us to go with him to the Island and we'll get $1,000,000" but she refused, so they didn’t listen to what their mom told them to do. She refused because they just want the money, not their lives.

After that, they went to Uncle James and they told him "yes we agree". This was the worst answer ever because they will endanger their lives. After All, they prepared their stuff for the journey and packed weapons with them. After that, they went to the plane to start the journey to the island.

There they saw a huge monster with five eyes and four hands. This monster broke their plane and all of the rest of the soldier's planes. After that, they all ran to escape from the monster, they were going ways they didn't even know and they didn't realize what's happening. After they calm down and relax for a second then, they walk through the jungle to explore the Island they landed on.


After that, they saw a huge spider and the spider ate 5 of the soldiers and they were about 11 people with Mark and John. After the huge spider ate the 5 soldiers Mark defeated him with a rifle, then he killed the spider. After that, they founded a boat, so they took the boat and went out of the Island.

But then, they had very bad luck because there was a huge Octopus in the lake. He ate all the soldiers, and James and John. But the one who had a very good luck is Mark because Octopus didn’t eat him so he is still alive. After that, Mark went home and he was very sad because his brother died. But then he told his mom and his mom was very sad and furious. Because they didn’t listen to what she told them.

After Mark had saved his life, he went home and he was very sad, groaning and crying like a baby because his brother died. But then he told his mom and his mom was very sad and furious. Because they didn’t listen to what she told them.
After these things happened and all the people heard about it they made a big fence, so no one can go or pass into the Island.
