My story I was a Jew in my early 20s living in the Warsaw ghetto. In my life I’ve encountered many things that give me nightmares till this day. During the process my family was stripped from me and killed. Sometimes I have night terrors about the things I’ve experienced.

Our group did not have much weapons besides pistols…

enclosed hell, we were capable of singing his praises.” In this text he uses a metaphor by comparing the camp to an enclosed hell. Not only that but directly after this text Wiesel follows on by saying, “But further, there was no longer any reason why I should fast. I no longer accepted God’s silence.” I believe that this is a very intense phrase, because it shows how he’s done with being in that camp and glorifying someone who just seems like an illusion nowadays. Furthermore the word choice…

The Uprising of the Warsaw Ghetto History has shown evidence of the good and the bad, the heroes of the villains, those who complete terrifying things and those who are brave enough to stand against them.“The world is too dangerous to live in- not because of the people who do evil, but because of the people who sit and let it happen” (Albert Einstein) The heroic Jews, as well as the survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto, did not only sit and watch their brethren be tortured, but stood up and fought a…

In the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, imagery is used to express the author’s struggles and despair throughout his stay in the concentration camps in Nazi Germany to show that maintaining faith and hope is the only chance for survival.

The half burnt candles represent the diminishing faith due to the horrendous circumstances he is put in. As the wax…

Moral courage is the definition of a superhero. Comic book heroes like Superman, Batman, or Spider-Man, were all regular, everyday people living in society. Carl Wilkens, an average concerned citizen, is a hero in disguised himself. In the 1990’s, Carl Wilkens, a humanitarian aid worker, made the decision to move his…

This message in his memoir is enhanced through many literary devices such as his hopeless tone and the symbol of night. His tone is very mourning and dark to demonstrate that the inhumane acts faced in the concentration camps completely took all the light in the world. For example, once his camp gets liberated by the American soldiers he looks at his reflection and says dolorously, “from the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me. The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never…
