There is a new movie out in theaters. An action-packed movie where a young African American and his city block of misfits take on rapid dinosaurs in the driveways of their own homes. Sounds like a normal movie but this movie is not focused on the “color” of the boy but on the actions of the neighborhood. The stereotypes of colored men and women in the film industry are beautifully destroyed in the free verse poem “Dinosaurs in the Hood” as Danez Smith makes a trailer of words for this movie, just waiting to be released. Smith is a colored queer poet who is known for his fiery political poems that took Youtube by storm.
Eli wanted to weep. He wanted to get off his horse and fall to his knees and weep, and then when he was finished weeping, he wanted to head east and away from there as fast as Saber could carry him. He would live in the mountains, or in the foothills, but not in that cesspool. ‘That’s it?’” (Mac, 212)
There was were a lot of problems going on at school and in my personal that I started to ask why me and I just felt like giving up completely, but I made through 7th grade. The theme of this quote is loss of faith, because Eli used to be very religious and he said that prayer was his life, but now all that faith is leaving him and he is questioning God ever since he has been in the concentration camps.

This powerful text, “When Religion Becomes Lethal: The Explosive Mix of Politics and Religion in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam” is the centerpiece for understanding the truth behind centuries of spiritual history and politics between three different denominations. Dr. Charles Kimball focuses solely on identifying the negatives within politics and religion as a whole, and how unconstructive the two can actually be. Kimball gave a huge amount of historical insight on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and how each of the religions came about. He also discusses their different relationships and different viewpoints that they have for one another. Lastly, Kimball uses his years of experience to offer a new and much broader way to think about
Rabbi Eliahou and his son always seemed to have the same kind of relationship as Elie and his father. Always looking out for each other, and doing whatever it took to stay together. Rabbi Eliahou was like Elie’s father, always loyal and loving to his son. However, Rabbi Eliahou’s son decided to leave his father behind, something Elie wouldn’t ever think of doing. Rabbi Eliahou’s son saw his dad as a weak link that was slowing him down.

As his father groaned once more Elie heard: "Eliezer” as he saw that his dad was still breathing—in gasps. Yet for the fear that consumed him Elie didn't move showing the progression of how much he changed his kindness and caring self gone consumed by fear. During the tomb he did not weep and prayers were not spoken no memory his last word being the call for Elie but Elie did not answer and deep down he knew that if he searched the recesses of his feeble conscience he might have found something like free at last! That showed again that now all that Ellie cared about was his freedom a drastic change in what he cared about before which mainly was his god and family but now his faith in his god is gone and his care for his dad vanished as well consumed by fear and his want for freedom. Later on after his dad death Elie cared about nothing as if nothing mattered anymore and to him nothing did.
Another comparison seen is both main characters, as protagonists, are giving up their personal property and supplies, along with putting their own lives at risk in order to help others. In Night, Elie is constantly concerned about his father’s safety, even when he could be making sure he survives himself instead, as he explained after talking to the Blockalteste, “He was right.
Eliezer’s relationship with his father contrast with other father-son relationships because they
Using movies as a way of teaching a specific time period is an entertaining but often fictitious method to education. Especially, when Hollywood blockbusters like Gladiator (2000) are involved. However, some Hollywood pictures that do a sufficient job of showcasing a time in history. Ron Howard’s Cinderella Man, also starring Russell Crowe, is a rarity in the world of historical fiction film. While it is still not 100% factual, it does do a fantastic job of featuring the atmosphere of the early 1930’s.

Every father love their son and every son love their father however at the beginning of the book Elise father seem to love the Jewish community more than Elie and Elie seem to respect his faith more than his father. However during the middle and the end of the book we saw a father that was willing to starve for his son and a son whose only reason to stay alive was his father.

Fishman goes into detail about Eli Jr. and the way his world has portrayed reading to him. But yet again, her focus shifts after this. She puts the reader in an Amish school setting and describes the events going on.
“Despite the growing darkness, I could see my father turn pale.” (Pg. 12) “We would no longer have to look at all those hostile faces, endure those hate-filled stares. No more fear. No more anguish.”
