The author uses symbolism to convey the inhumane cruelty he witnessed and how it deprived the jews of who they were, and wants the readers to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself by finding ways to prevent the Holocaust from happening again. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, he uses Fire to symbolize the Nazis cruel power. From pages 26-28 Elie talked about how Madame Schachter would scream because she envisioned fire and would awake everyone in the cattle car but when the people looked…

The Concrete Prisons During World War 2, Adolf Hitler led the Nazi Germans and set out to eradicate the Jews. Due to Hitler’s power as a chancellor, many Germans followed his orders. Danger wasn’t uncommon at this time, many Jews were abducted from their homes and transferred to concentration camps.

When considering the point of view of Elie Wiesel , the author of Night, he may argue that the most egregious breach of human rights the he experienced during the Holocaust was that he was locked away in a prison without a justified reason. According to the UDHR the ninth human right states “ Nobody has the right to put you in a prison, to keep you there or to send you away from your country unjustly, or without good reason”.

from the distorted desire of wealth and materialism. Fitzgerald depicts the desolate land as ¨-a valley of ashes--- a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens, where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air” (35). The Valley of Ashes represents an impoverished, lifeless wasteland neglected by the ignoramuses bathing in the…

This poem is told in 1st person as the tone of this literary work shifts from sad and shameful to accepting and Prideful but also a bit skeptical, since in her culture being a girl is frowned upon. “It’s a girl” the midwife trembled…unsure of birthing fee… and goodbye to circumcision feast.” This phrase depicts how much shame it is to have a girl, as the midwife…

Generally speaking, I’ve based this house on the houses of Marin in California and assorted Cornish fishing villages. I’ve also added a few ideas from friends’ houses, favorite books, and a couple other things to suit various whims of my own. Many of the things I imagine being included are overall feelings that don’t translate very well to drawings or words. What was really surprising was how coastal everything was - nearly every house I thought of during this project was near a cool, grey coast…

Throughout the Zionism movement there were many publications written, some written by men and some by women. Through the men’s publications one can see how they portray women during the movement as cold, tough and insensible. And looking at publications written by woman one can see a vast difference in the portrayal of women during the Zionism movement. The Two articles The calf written by Mordechai Ze’ev Feierberg and Burned out written by Mendele Mokher Sefarim were written through a males…

The Holocaust is considered to be one of the most tragic events in history. Death was a common sight during this time and it eventually became a usual, everyday sight. People were forced from their families and sentenced to their deaths in concentration camps, much like Stutthof. There were hundreds of concentration camps where Jewish people were forced to work to their deaths. Most, if not all, of the brutal camps during World War Two caused an overwhelming amount of death and pain to Jews and…

In the short story,”Usher II,” it helps readers visualize the setting by using allusion from other pieces of literature so that they could connect it to the story. In the story, Mr, Stendahls biggest challenge is to stop the people who are burning everyone's books.
