“ Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere. ”(Wiesel 119). In the book Night by Ellie Wiesel, he tells his story about living through the Holocaust and the horrible events that took place in Auschwitz. It is important to remember the holocaust not only to make sure it doesn't happen again but to also tell the story of those who lost their lives to ensure no one forgets the horrible acts that occurred. The more we stay silent the more we are accomplices to the hatred of the world we have the power to use our voice for good to stop the bad.
At what point does respect no longer matter? When does the need for survival take over grief? When do the tears dry up in order to stay alive?
The information was presented so bluntly because in a situation like this there's not a sentimental or easy way to present the information. Also the author is able to show the reader how blunt and difficult the situation was especially in the moment. He’s abruptness was for the purpose of creating a strong tone for the reader. Wiesel’s goal in the book was to raise awareness of what jews were going through and with a topic there was no other way of putting it but straight forward. When Moshe came back people showed the impression that they did not care much for him being back.
Elie Wiesel lived through a rough concentration camp that involved different parts where innocent human beings died. His reference to “...they listen, they cry, they warn” explains how those who died are still around with them through the Holocaust and help them be warned about the events that happened. Elie shares that the Jews suffered in inexplicable ways by how they were told that they were taking a shower but instead were taken into a chamber where Zyklon B was exposed, disease exposure in locks, and they even had to create certain things for the Nazis’. Jewish families were separated into different camps but few had survived in the Auschwitz camp, where Elie went to. Although these horrors were hard, Wiesel learned to stay calm and heard

Tina Rosenberg, a recipient of the MacArthur Grant, winner of the Pulitzer and the National book award for her book The Haunted Land, writes an unforeseen piece about the challenges first-generation college students face when going through the college and financial aid application process. Rosenberg has shown herself more than approved to explore and reveal to the world the struggle of applying to college for first generation students in her article “Guiding a First Generation to College.” With her novels, “Join the Club: How Peer Pressure Can Transform the World’ and "Children of Cain” it is clear that she has a tendency of exploring sensitive issues around the world. Moreover, being the mother of three daughters, who will soon face the college application process themselves, she is more than qualified to explore the topic of college applications.
For Wiesel, the war seemed a distant event, and at his young age he did not bother to think much about what was happening in the feared concentration camps. Until he was deported with his family to one of them. In fact, many families in the area did not believe that the war was actually occurring, or at least not in the way they counted. Elie Wiesel describes the scenes he sees with an agony and a pain that make it impossible for the reader not to feel the same. One of the strongest scenes is when he witnesses one of his "companions" being forced to throw his own father in the oven.
The human race is beginning to evolve and change faster then anyone has seen before, although it can bring many positive things such as new innovations, it can also damage our world. The pollution of light grows and grows every year, many people do not care or do not pay attention to it at all but as the author stated it is most definitely important for our future. Bogard's claim reaches his audience by showing credibility; he worries that the nights natural darkness will soon end so he explains that he has seen that darkness and has experienced it for many years. Bogard connects technology being the main problem for the loss of darkness by station that artificial light in our homes also effects our brain and the way we sleep since darkness is needed to produce melioration. Loss
Night Book Review “In every stiffened corpse, I saw myself” (Wiesel, 2006, page 101). I believe that this quote actively describes the theme of this book. How can someone be so terrified that they are the next person to die, so terrified that they could see themselves being the next one laying on the ground dead, not cared about, unseen in the world? How can someone weep so hard and beg that others stop hurting them, but they keep doing so? The book titled Night by Elie Wiesel is one book that I can reread over and over again and still never feel satisfied with.
“Our Vanishing Night” Thesis statement First and foremost, I’d like to exacerbate the thesis of the author. Klinkenborg argument is that we use too much light and it is dramatically affecting the sky above us by being less extravagant with its consolations, and various anomalies throughout the universe, and to solve this issue we must eliminate all unwanted light; including features such as, too much glare, or city lights becoming more spread out throughout the area. Furthermore, his full thesis statement is, “This kind of engineering is no different than damming a river. Its benefits come with consequences-called light pollution-whose effects scientist are now beginning to study”( 109 “Models for writers” paragraph 2) It is elaborated further,
Does Nineteen-nighty four still speaks to us today? George Orwell was born in the early twentieth century, in a family that he describes as “lower-upper-middle class”. Since its youngest age, he experienced prestigious boarding schools where he felt scandalized and oppressed by the control the school had on him and other students. This life experience probably inspired Orwell to write “Nineteen eighty-four”, a dystopian novel where he gives his opinion on what would be the world without the freedom to think. In this -not so- fictive world, the population lives in a place where individual thinking is forbidden but where following the rules and the reasoning of Big Brother is mandatory.
On December 21, 2012, Los Angeles Times published “Let There Be Dark” adapted from Paul Bogard. In this article, Paul persuades his audience that darkness should be preserved by using evidence, reasoning and persuasive elements. Paul uses the natural environment as evidence to persuade his readers that darkness should be preserved. For example, Bogard states in paragraph 4 “The rest of the world depends on darkness as well, including nocturnal and crepuscular species of birds, insects, mammals, fish and reptiles.” This is convincing evidence because he explains the importance of darkness in the everyday lives of many different species in the world and the absence of this darkness would lead to an unstable ecosystem.
