Benjamin Franklin, the author of The Autobiography and Sandra Cisneros, the author of Straw Into Gold: The Metamorphosis of the Everyday both define success and how they achieved it, in their piece of writing. Though they both may seem to have similar views on success, they infact differ greatly. Franklin believes that in order to reach success, one must alter himself through the use of a method, while Cisneros believes that rather than changing himself, one can use his imagination and the small things in life to be successful. Furthermore, Franklin describes achieving success at the moment he starts working towards the goal, whereas Cisneros describes achieving success once she has completed her goals.

In the story “Night” by Elie Wiesel, he gives us his perspective on the holocaust. The holocaust was a horrible time for the Jews. Adolf Hitler hated them and treated them with so much cruelty.

When Morgan found a need in safe lighting he did not hold back, he found a well-known and trusted scientist. Thomas Edison had already been working on the light bulb and John knew it was it was the next big thing. Nevertheless, he got the word out and pretty soon electricity was helping all of New York.

“An idea is like a virus. Resilient. Highly contagious. The smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define...or destroy you.”
“If there is a way to do it better…Find it” (Thomas A. Edison). Certain humans in the world are born with the trait of resilience, a trait seen in Anthem’s main Equality 7-2521 and Thomas Edison, the talent to leap back after an obstacle falls in the way. Thomas Edison failed thousands of times trying to create the modern day light bulb. During his creation people scrutinized him, and when he failed told him that he was uneducated. “This was the only thing which moved, for the lips of the oldest did not move as they said: “Street Sweeper.”(1.29).
By the late 1800s advances in industry, science and technology were occurring faster than ever before. Demands to the industries became the driving force behind greater advances in technology, and sparked tremendous interest in scientific discoveries that pushed for progress. These advances in industry, science and technology, lead to great social changes.

Nobel Peace Prize-Winning Author, Elie Wiesel, in his sympathetic speech, “The Perils of Indifference,” warns people about the dangers of indifference. He supports his claim by describing a scenario with a young Jewish boy and him being saved by American soldiers from a concentration camp. Wiesel also supports his claim by telling a story about how indifference is worse than anger and hatred through descriptive words.
