Lane Morgan Mrs. Alea Literature Studies 14 February My theme are that you should never be afraid because it pays off in the end. Don't be because you will never be able to experience all the fun. In our first body symbol.
The Holocaust was a tragic event our history that all of us have heard about, but Elie Wiesel experienced it firsthand. After reading his book, Night, a novel describing his experience in a concentration camp, and his speech called Perils of Indifference, which talks about how humans shouldn’t be indifferent to problems, I decided that the book conveyed his message much more effectively because he displayed powerful emotion, has more themes, and writes it for everyone to read. In Night, Elie Wiesel is gives the readers a deeper understanding of his experience in the Holocaust by displaying more emotion than in Perils of Indifference. In the book, he gives his thoughts and decisions.
In the novel, “Night” Elie Wiesel communicates with the readers his thoughts and experiences during the Holocaust. Wiesel describes his fight for survival and journey questioning god’s justice, wanting an answer to why he would allow all these deaths to occur. His first time subjected into the concentration camp he felt fear, and was warned about the chimneys where the bodies were burned and turned into ashes. Despite being warned by an inmate about Auschwitz he stayed optimistic telling himself a human can’t possibly be that cruel to another human.
Hitler was a horrible person for the things he did to the Jews and it shouldn’t be forgotten. Then the entire camp, block after block, filed past the hanged boy and stared at his extinguished eyes, the tongue hanging from his gaping mouth. (page 62 and 63) This is crazy Hitler made young innocent teens and older men stare at the young teen being hanged. Then they had to go back to work like it wasn’t that big of a deal and just acted like nothing really happened.
Many of the books we read today always contain some backstory to it. Whether it was just for fun or informational about an important topic or event. Many of these stories somehow or someway tie into an author 's life. Edgar Allan Poe is just one of these authors who have written works like The Cask of Amontillado, and “The Tell-Tale Heart.” Another author is S.E. Hinton which wrote the book The Outsiders and a Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel who wrote Night.
The Holocaust was a huge moment in history. It impacted millions of innocent human beings because of how they looked and what they believed in. The Germans killed millions of Jews, gypsies, Romani... anyone who did not fit the mold of the perfect Arian.
Standing up has never truly been a part of our world history. People \s rights are being violated and only a few have stood up. One example of this injustice is the holocaust. People were beaten and starved while people stood aside quietly watching. The memoir, Night, written by Elie Wiesel tells the story of his journey through one of the worst occurrences of the world.
Elie Wiesel's memoir Night relates his experiences as a Jewish boy during the Holocaust. The memoir focuses on Elie's relationship with his father and how it impacts him throughout the events. Elie's connection with his father develops with time, with both positive and negative effects for him. In Elie Wiesel's memoir “Night” it can be argued that Elie and his father have an easy relationship. They form a close bond and encourage one another as they go through difficult moments in the camp.
“To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time” (Wiesel XV). In the novel Night written by Elie Wiesel, this quote shows how the world should not forget about the Holocaust and that we should recognize the reality of genocide of the past and the present to stop it from happening it again in the future. I think Elie Wiesel quote is the reason why we should remember the Holocaust because if we do not recognize what the Holocaust is about or pass our knowledge or understanding to our future generations, it has the potential to be repeated. There are three reasons why I believe it is important to remember the Holocaust and why our future generations should never forget it as well. The first reason is remembering the Holocaust
Reading "Night" by Elie Wiesel drastically influenced my view on life. The horrendous depictions of life during the holocaust era described by Elie was traumatizing. Reading each line in the book gave me goosebumps. Imaging that a time era in which jews were oppressed to that of a gruesome extent is beyond conceivable. The book allowed me to reassess my life.
Night, “The Perils of Indifference” and “Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech”, written by Elie Wiesel, are made to persuade and inform people of the horrible things that are happening. Not just what is happening but how it is being overlooked even though some people know it is happening. In all the pieces he has written above he gives information on many events that happen where people know what's happening but do nothing to stop it. So Elie Wiesel's reason to persuade and inform the people is to stop people from overlooking tragic and inhuman acts and stop them. Wiesel is speaking and writing about this to persuade the people who hear him speak or read his novel to stand up to the things that did and are happening, so events like the Holocaust never happen again.
Elie says “One more stab to the heart, one more reason to hate. One less reason to live.” This quote explains how he turned into a soulless, plaintive, nonemotional human being. During the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel changes from a spiritual, sensitive little boy to a spiritually dead unemotional man. First, Elie thoughts on religion changed
World War II had been raging for two years and was bout to enter Sighet. The Germans attempted to commit genocide on the 'lesser ' races, particularly Jews. Through the brutality witnessed, acts of selfishness, the death of his father, and the loss of his faith, Elie changed. Elie became a young man with a strong sense of mortality through it all. By the end of the war, Elie claimed to see himself as "A corpse contemplating me."
The Holocaust is arguably one of the most disastrous genocides in history. Hitler and his men killed millions of Jews during his reign and it seemed like nothing can stop them. No one dared to speak of the Holocaust and its events that happened. However, there seems to be a secret weapon that can destroy the silence. Voices that speak up about the events are able to paint a picture for the people who had not witnessed the Holocaust for themselves.
To find a man who has not experienced suffering is impossible; to have man without hardship is equally unfeasible. Such trials are a part of life and assert that one is alive by shaping one’s character. In the autobiographical memoir Night by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, this molding is depicted through Elie’s transformation concerning his identity, faith, and perspective. As a young boy, Elie and his fellow neighbors of Sighet, Romania were sent to Auschwitz, a macabre concentration camp with the sole motive of torturing and killing Jews like himself. There, Elie experiences unimaginable suffering, and upon liberation a year later, leaves as a transformed person.
