To this day i am shaken when i see a child, for behind him i glimpse other children. starving, terrified, drained, they march without a backward glance toward truth and death—which are perhaps the same. uncomplaining, unprotesting, asking no one’s pity, it is as if they have had enough of living on a planet so cruel, so vile and so filled with hate that their very innocence has brought their death. read the text and study the images from spiegelman’s maus. which best describes why wiesel and spiegelman include jewish children in their works? both texts point out the innocence and naivete of the children during the holocaust. both texts reveal how the holocaust altered the lives of families, especially the children. both excerpts focus on the children who survived the holocaust and the generations that followed. both excerpts show how the children were sheltered from the horrors of the holocaust as long as possible.

Read this passage: many manufacturers prefer plastic as a material for containers because it can be molded into many shapes. but plastic is not very strong. it must be fused with glass or steel for strength. it is also not very durable. even the strongest plastic can break under enough pressure. the biggest disadvantage to using plastic is that it does not decompose. while plastic can be recycled, doing so is tedious and difficult. while it may be more expensive and difficult to work with, aluminum is a much stronger building material with far greater tensile strength. it conducts electricity because it is metal. best of all, aluminum is very easy to recycle. even if it is thrown away, it decomposes much more quickly than most manufacturing materials. how does the compare-and-contrast organizational pattern of the passage support the author's purpose? a. the passage gradually leads up to the point about decomposition to inform the reader about the importance of recycling plastics. b. the passage lists the advantages and disadvantages of each material to make a case for the use of plastic and not aluminum in containers. c. the passage begins with a description of plastic's problems in order to call attention to the good qualities of aluminum. d. the passage shows the superiority of aluminum in order to make a case for the production of stronger plastics.
