Paul Rusesabagina might mean that words have the power to make people act or react in a certain situations. Let´s take an example from his text, he asked the question "What had caused this to happen? Very simple: words" He is referring to a "cool" guy who ends up being a militar carrying guns so Paul blames his parents because he thinks that he might have been told "over and over again" how stupid he was, how he never would be attractive or physically fit. This was used to enforce the power of the elite. So this might be considered a clear case in which due to words a person might decide his future. <span />
Answer:
Doglo is unhappy with the actions of his friend Cathy and tries to chase Cathy for the dog he took but Cathy is too swift and difficult to catch.
Some days later, Cathy sees Doglo and tries to avoid him but it's too late. However, Doglo is not mad at Cathy, he explains to her that if she needs something she can always ask her friends for help instead of stealing.
Cathy is relieved that Doglo is not angry and at the same time remorseful about her actions. She offers to share her biscuits with Doglo and asks for forgiveness. Both friends rekindle the friendship and play around the neighborhood like they used to do.
I believe the missing excerpt is from Midsummer by Derek
Walcott, which is as follows:
With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings,
midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn's fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.
So, based on the excerpt, the speaker thinks that the
riot was somewhat inevitable.
To add, Midsummer is a sequence of 54 lyrics that record one
year's passing in the poet's life from summer to summer.
The correct one is b. innocent child
Dyess’ account of the Bataan Death March was similar to Burgos’ and Beck’s accounts in the way they described the treatment of prisoners of war. The differences lie in their perspective of the Death March, and the timing of their interviews. Dyess was able to provide more detail as the events were more recent when he was interviewed. Their perspectives differ in that Dyess and Beck had the outsider’s point of view, while Burgos had the local’s point of view.
