    Throughout the novel Night, Elie Wiesel stated three poignant and relevant quotes during his survival of the Holocaust. Firstly, he claims that the torture he endured and observing his people walking into their own deaths will forever change the way he views God and the world. Secondly, he loses his faith towards mankind because he feels sympathetic towards a child receiving misfortune in the concentration camp rather than adult. Lastly, Wiesel learns that Hitler is the only person throughout the Holocaust who has stuck to their word because Jews would lie to try and escape the torture of the camps, so others had to receive a punishment for their actions. “…Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes…”…

    The speaker in the poem “My Father Is A Simple Man” learned from his father that there is not much need for greatness and the importance of hard work. The speaker expresses his high regard for his father when he compliments him by saying “I can always remember that there was a man who was a worker and provider”. I felt the speaker really implied that it was important to him/her to have a father who was willing to work hard. The speaker also made it clear that not only was it important to be a hard worker but a person should not be seeking outside glory when he said “there is no need for fanfare, or applause when he leaves (dies).” I understood this when he said “I shall have learned what little there is about greatness.”…
