    “One more stab to the heart, one more reason to hate. One less reason to live.(109)” Throughout Night by Elie Wiesel, Nazis show time and time again how relentless they will be with their physical and emotional abuse towards prisoners in concentration camps. Through understanding the ways Nazis dehumanize Jews and other minorities, we can see three very important steps to bringing them back into normal life: Non physically abusive treatment, giving them goals, friends, a reason to live, and a non-fluctuant lifestyle, and providing former prisoners with more diverse lifestyle choices. One of Nazi Germany’s most well known ways of dehumanizing people is by physically abusing them.…

    “The Defiant Ones and In the Heat of the Night” In the article Draggin’ the Chain, Emma Hamilton and Troy Saxby analyzed the juxtapositions between the two films, The Defiant Ones and In the Heat of the Night. These two movies are placed within the representation of African American stereotypes that can be void and full of historical reality in the same realm. Hamilton and Saxby explain that certain racial stereotypes can empower the African American race, but at the same time further ingrain an obscured, single-minded view of that race to others. “However, these stereotypes do evolve over time in a way that reflects the unique historical conditions and social needs of a particular context” (CP 168).…

    Respected for his artistic efforts, Lewis had that special quality the French called auteur when making a picture truly in his vision. Lewis was a chameleon with each film he directed and still managed to input his style while maintaining the mood of the characters in the story and designing the scenery to fit the tempo of the film, as Hirsch recognizes, “Lewis shifts his own style to accommodate the style of his characters and their setting. The detective in So Dark the Night, on the surface, is sedate and implacable, a man of absolutely sober deportment; and the film’s own measured manner echoes the character’s. The fugitive couple in Gun Crazy have a very different rhythm. The woman, who goads the man into a life of crime, is wildly impulsive, forever on the run; to capture her essential spirit.…

    Although the beginning holds that “dawn was not far to come”, dawn never came in this passage. Even after “he woke it was still dark”, signifying that he is unable to find the light and to wake up from this depression. This constant state of darkness matches the beat of the main character’s heart as he searches for a glimpse of light but is left with nothing but darkness. The cold further brings pain to the night. As the main character touches the “cold and perfect teeth” of the wolf who was “stiff and cold” he does not find comfort, only finding that “the eye turned to the fire gave back no life”.…

    Humanity, nowadays, cares nothing for others, only for themselves due to their mentality that is to see only what influences them and believe it is the truth. Elie Wiesel once declared, “When human lives are endangered, when humans dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Where men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place- at that moment- become the center of the universe.” Today I am not responding as a student knowledgeable to the unfortunate events, but as a young person of the twenty-first century, Elie Wiesel is indeed correct.…
