Read the excerpt from chapter 7 of Night. One day when we had come to a stop, a worker took a piece of bread out of his bag and

threw it into a wagon. There was a stampede. Dozens of starving men fought desperately over a few crumbs. The worker watched the spectacle with great interest. Years later, I witnessed a similar spectacle in Aden. Our ship's passengers amused themselves by throwing coins to the "natives,” who dove to retrieve them. An elegant Parisian lady took great pleasure in this game. When I noticed two children desperately fighting in the water, one trying to strangle the other, I implored the lady: "Please, don’t throw any more coins!” "Why not?” said she. "I like to give charity . . .” Based on the details in this excerpt, what is the author’s primary purpose? to show how people everywhere need help to show how his opinion of humankind has changed to show that cruel behavior is not limited to only one situation to show that people may do things without thinking of the consequences

Throughout this passage, I encountered flying fish for the first time, which amazed me greatly. They repeatedly soared over the ship, with many landing on the deck. Additionally, I witnessed the quadrant’s function for the first time. Previously, I had often noticed sailors making measurements with it, but I couldn’t understand its purpose. Eventually, they saw my astonishment and, aiming both to delight my curiosity and increase my surprise, allowed me to look through it one day. The clouds appeared as land which vanished as we moved, heightening my marvel. This convinced me more strongly that I was in a different world, surrounded by marvels and magic.
