Answer and Explanation:

You: I can tell by the look in your eyes that you're thinking of eating me.

Tiger: That's true. I am indeed.

You: Well, I'd like to advise you against that. If you eat me, your chances of surviving afterwards will diminish.

Tiger: I doubt that. If I eat you, I will gain strength. Consequently, I'll be able to survive for a few more days. That might be enough for a ship to show up and rescue me.

You: That reasoning is good, but flawed. Yes, you will gain strength that will last for a few days. However, if a ship does not show up in a few days, you will die. Fishing is not one of your abilities as a tiger, so you won't catch anything to eat after devouring me. Also, if a ship does show up, the crew may very well be afraid of taking you with them for fear that you might attack and eat them.

Tiger: I see... go on.

You: If you keep me alive, we will solve all of those issues. I can fish for the both of us. We'll both maintain our strength until a ship shows up, even if it takes long. When that happens, they will certainly take us in. I will vouch for you, letting them know you were civilized enough not to eat me. Therefore, they can trust you not to eat them.

Tiger: I see your point, and it is a good one. I promise not to eat you if you promise to keep your word.

You: I promise. We have a deal.

ella [17]

In this excerpt of his speech, Wiesel encourages the world to 'take sides' and work to end suffering (A).

He does not want people to be passive and simply stay neutral (C) or on the sidelines (B). He wants people to take position: "I swore never to be silent," "We must always take sides." Through parallelism, he also blames inaction for feeding into the problem: "Neutrality helps the oppressor" // "Silence encourages the tormentor."

Neither does he believe that thinking about race, religion or political views (D) is enough. He is urging people to take action to defend citizens from discrimination. This is shown by the use of the action verb "interfere."

WARRIOR [948]
I would have to say that we strive to make something bigger and better for one of three things:

To make lots and lots of money from it.

To simply be the best

Or to make it easier for us to do things if we have this.
