PART A: How does Takei’s understanding of his internment develop over time?

B. He normalizes his experiences at first but eventually understands that his internment was not an example of democracy at its best.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to the text "Why I Love a Country that Once Betrayed Me" by George Takei. These are the options that come with this question:

A. He comes to realize that his internment was relatively easy compared to other Japanese Americans.

B. He normalizes his experiences at first but eventually understands that his internment was not an example of democracy at its best.

C. He begins to view his internment as a betrayal by America and loses faith in the ideals he once associated with it.

D. He appreciates the internment camps as a child and isn’t able to understand the injustice of the government’s actions until he is an adult.

This is the statement that best describes how Takei's understanding of the internment developed over time. In this text, Takei tells us that, when he was a child and was going through the experience of internment, he normalized it. He thought of the camp as his home, and thought the activities they engaged in to be normal. However, when he grew older, he realized that the experience was not normal, nor was it desirable or an example of a good democracy. This led him to realize that even a democratic government was fallible.

the covenant that god made with abraham was a unilateral (one-sided) promise from god to abraham.   apart from anything abraham did, god was promising that he was going to bring about a great nation from abraham's offspring, and that the messiah (meaning "the anointed one") would come from abraham's descendants, as one through whom the whole world would receive favor from god.   as god promised abraham, "through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed" (genesis 22: 18).

the "new covenant" was announced by jesus of nazareth, who had asserted that he was the "son of david" (and descendant of abraham) that fulfilled those promises to abraham.   when jesus introduced the sacred meal that we now refer to as the lord's supper, as told his disciples in reference to the wine they drank, "this cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you" (luke 22: 20).   this "new covenant" through jesus was also a unilateral (one-sided) covenant.   he gave himself in sacrifice for all people, without conditions attached.   as his friend and apostle john later wrote, "he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world" (1 john 2: 2).

so the covenant with abraham and the "new covenant" ushered in by jesus are, in essence, connected as one covenant -- because jesus was saying he was the one promised to abraham that fulfilled that covenant and brought blessing to the world.
