Most people don’t know what it means to have real courage until they are faced with a situation that requires them to be courageous. for me, it wasn’t until eighth grade that i found out how courageous i could be. my family had just moved from a small town in arizona to its biggest city, phoenix, and it was my first time attending a new school. before moving, i had lived in the same house my whole life, and many of the people who were in my seventh grade class had been in school with me since kindergarten. after moving, i didn’t know anybody in any of my classes, and even the campus seemed too big and uninviting for the first couple of weeks, i was too shy to try to make new friends. at my old school, even if i tried to make a new friend, i always had my old friends as backup. however, now that i had no friends at all, the idea of having my feelings hurt from being rejected by someone i wanted to be friends with was just too scary. instead, i would sit by myself under a big pine tree in the courtyard, watching the other kids laugh and joke with their cliques at lunch. i tried to figure out which group i could join. there were the cheerleaders, a small group of girls who sat at the table farthest away from me. next to them were the athletes, a much bigger crowd of boys and girls who played baseball, basketball, and soccer together and had formed strong bonds by being part of a team. they all wore their maroon-and-yellow jerseys, sweatshirts, and hats, showing off their team spirit and getting excited for the next big game. i wasn’t athletic, so i didn’t feel like i would ever fit in as one of their “teammates.” between me and the athletes there were several more tables, all filled with energetic dancers, thoughtful theater kids, and noisy band members with their instrument cases spread over the table along with the peanut butter sandwiches and bags of carrot sticks. i didn’t which para graph has i shightful reflection and which one has the climax

The paragraph that reflects a sighful moment is "Instead, I would sit by myself under a big pine tree in the courtyard, watching the other kids laugh and joke with their cliques at lunch." but she was too shy to join them. The climax is reflected in "For me, it wasn't until eighth grade that I found out how courageous I could be."
Ответ:
At Birkenau, the first of many “selections” occurs, during which individuals presumed weaker or less useful are weeded out to be killed. Eliezer and his father remain together, separated from Eliezer’s mother and younger sister, whom he never sees again. Eliezer and his father meet a prisoner, who counsels them to lie about their ages. Eliezer, not yet fifteen, is to say that he is eighteen, while his father, who is fifty, is to say that he is forty. Another prisoner accosts the new arrivals, angrily asking them why they peacefully let the Nazis bring them to Auschwitz. He explains to them, finally, why they have been brought to Auschwitz: to be killed and burned. Hearing this, some among the younger Jews begin to consider rebelling, but the older Jews advise them to rely not on rebellion but on faith, and they proceed docilely to the selection. In a central square, Dr. Mengele stands, determining whether new arrivals are fit to work or whether they are to be killed immediately. Taking the prisoner’s advice, Eliezer lies about his age, telling Mengele he is eighteen. He also says that he is a farmer rather than a student, and is motioned to Mengele’s left, along with his father.
Despite Eliezer’s joy at remaining with his father, uncertainty remains. Nobody knows whether left means the crematorium or the prison. As the prisoners move through Birkenau, they are horrified to see a huge pit where babies are being burned, and another for adults. Eliezer cannot believe his eyes, and tells his father that what they see is impossible, that “humanity would never tolerate” such an atrocity. His father, breaking down into tears, replies that humanity is nonexistent in the world of the crematoria. Everybody in the column of prisoners weeps, and somebody begins to recite the Jewish prayer for the dead, the Kaddish. Eliezer’s father also recites the prayer. Eliezer, however, is skeptical. He cannot understand what he has to thank God for. When Eliezer and his father are two steps from the edge of the pit, their rank is diverted and directed to a barracks. Eliezer interrupts his narration with a moving reflection on the impact of that night on his life, a night that forever burned Nazi atrocity into his memory.
