A Night to Remember

In Lorber's "Night to His Day", she talks about the differences between gender and sexuality. This definitely made me think about the gender roles my family upholds to this very day. My father cooks while my mother is the "breadwinner" of the family. I remember growing up and seeing my mother come home from her second job late at night with my father was setting up dinner in the kitchen. I didn't think much about it until individuals around me talked about the norms in today's Western…

and water? That is what Elie Wiesel went through in his memoir Night. Would you like someone to ignore what is happing to you? That is what the German citizens where doing in 1938-1942. Even though the Germans say did not violate human rights, the Germans violated human rights because the Germans imprisoned people against their will in concentration camps and the Germans forced people to live in terrible conditions. It was shown in Night that the Nazis violated the right that everyone has the…

Exactly 17 months and 15 days ago, I left my siblings behind in Springfield, Oregon to move all the way to Flint, Michigan. At the time, Emylee, my sister, was only 7 and Trevon, my brother, was 9. After we moved out here, I met my mom’s boyfriend’s children, Whitney, Logan, and Jacob. Whitney was the oldest, at 20, Logan was the same age as me, 15, and Jacob was 12. I was slightly weary of them at first, I was a little bitter with having to leave my family behind for this new one, but I grew to…

leave the one place that I had spent so much of my time at. Walking form class to class trying not to be late for my next class. Just thinking that I won’t be walking in those hallways that I vividly remember makes me a little happy. No, I won’t ever miss those late nights where I would stay up all night to study for a major exam or quiz the following day. Or even the gossip that would go around the school so fast. High school…

Growing up in Federal Way, Washington it was a fairly mixed with all races. I spent all my school years in that city. I can remember playing sports on school teams and AAU, we were treated fairly everywhere and every one could recognize us. But as we got older and were allowed to hang out at night with our friends they, you could sense a difference the way people reacted to our friends. They were African American and had tattoos in High School, they had baggy and/or saggy pants, drove cars that…

When I first heard about the upcoming war I was excited and ready to enlist as you remember. It’s all different now. I’m in the front line of the trenches. I have seen many of my friends and acquaintances drop dead next to me or running across no man’s land. The German’s are ruthless, some men have been scorched to death because of the German invention, flamethrowers. I can’t sleep. Not because of shell shock, like most of the other men, but because the general is always ordering me and two…

they went to the casino. That night they went to the bar and got drunk, they got home at 3 in the morning and they fell asleep. That next morning when Bob wakes up he noticed that his money was gone. He searched the entire house and he couldn’t find his money. He sat down and brainstorm yesterday night and he remembers that Freg one of his childhood friends went into his room and took the money. Bob went to Freg’s house and questioned him about what did he do last night when Bob fell asleep.…

Denny leave. Imagine if you lived in an airport and you had no friends, but you still kept a good attitude. My final reason is that, Andrew has to change terminals every single night, he has to sleep in a different area every night. Like I said before but imagine if you had to sleep in a different area every single night, you would be so mad and so tired of moving around, but Andrew still kept a good…

was gray. There was a light frost on the ground. I woke up earlier than usual with an urgency to go home. I had stayed the night with my best friend, even though it was a school night. The schools in the parish were all closed due to a flu epidemic, everyone seemed to be sick. I was in the eighth grade and welcomed the break. Somehow I had lucked out and was not ill. The night before I had begged my dad to go stay with my best friend Jennifer. He had reluctantly given in to me. He was not…

gothic. For example, the story took place in a mansion on the third floor. Also, the character sees shadows from the wall at night. The narrator explains how there are many women behind the wallpaper, and that one of them crawl's around so fast that it shakes the wallpaper all over (226). The mood of not being the only person in the room. The chilling effects keep her up all night, even when sleeping next to her husband. Another element that made the story gothic is the control of the narrator…
