Do you remember learning about the holocaust? The holocaust was a historical event and lasted twelve years. It was a horrible time in the world.

This is because her walking “on my own two feet” shows she will carry the strength it takes to support the movement. Alvarez effectively used interior monologue and figurative language to show how Mate is willing to do what she feels necessary to support the movement such as sacrifice. Mate at first was only concerned about the wellbeing of her husband since they were in a place of complete vulnerability.

Author Elie Wiesel had managed to complete this feat, though many may argue what exactly Wiesel meant to express. The word “night” symbolizes fear, hopelessness, and futility.

To put a start to the claim, the word night symbolizes fear because, at many points of the biography it tells of the situations where Wiesel and his family experienced the horrible emotion.
Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. " Hope and an optimistic attitude are characteristics of a rational and humane mindset.

The entire world was so ignorant to such a massacre of horrific events that were right under their noses, so Elie Wiesel persuades and expresses his viewpoint of neutrality to an audience.

And that is why I swore never to be silent when and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation” (Weisel). To persuade the audience, Elie uses facts to make the people become sentimental toward the victims of the Holocaust. Also, when Weisel shares his opinion with the audience, he gains people onto his side because of his authority and good reputation.
The stories it tells, Of places we will never see with our eyes Or feel with our fingers Of emotions that we have never rendered Of lives full of sadness And those filled with greed Of people unhappy Or people in need It tells us of children And old crippled folk Of monsters and dragons And towns filled with smoke Of fairies and princes And crowns made of gold Of falling kingdoms And castles, stony and bold It shows worlds of paper and paints Of villages blessed by the caring of saints Of dark worlds and light We experience all, in the dead of the night When we are captured by enchanting tales Hooked onto the story train’s rail We travel, undisturbed, and it never fails That we finish the pages with a sigh and a wail We fold down the pages

The rise of a national American identity held a key role in many events between the years of 1754 and 1800. This new rise of a “national American identity” was a result of the early revolts, such as those that took place in response to “taxation without representation” and in support of the early fight for rights and representation in the government. These revolts led to eventual war to support this identity, ultimately resulting in American independance. The primary long-term cause for the rise of this new American identity was the American Revolution itself. Meanwhile, the most withstanding effect of the American Revolution was the success in the founding of a strong and powerful independent country.
