Night owl

In Elie Wiesel's memoir, “Night” it is clearly shown that throughout the book he slowly loses faith in his God. He is forced out of his home in Sighet, moved to a ghetto, and then moved to several concentration camps. As he endures the cruel punishments from the Germans, because of his religion, he almost loses sight of what should be important to him; his faith, himself, and his family. When tragedy occurs some might be completely destroyed and devastated, whilst others are strengthened and…

This loss of faith is best described by Elie in the “Never shall I forget” passage that is found at the top of page 32 in Night. This passage is placed in the book as Elie is spending his first night in the concentration camp. However, it makes more sense to look at this passage as a testament of Elie’s views after the Holocaust had ended because he is recounting events from his experiences that he will never…

money. She invited All of us SLUH boys in my group over to her party. We were all ready to blow off a tremendous amount of steam from our stressful of first quarter midterms.

threatened and endangered and… In 1990 the Northern Spotted Owl was listed as a threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Since then the rate of loss of habitat has declined. Even so valuable old growth forest is lost to the spotted owls. Previously the decline of the spotted owl population has been attributed to timber harvesting. However, recently the expansion of the Barred owl, an owl of the same genus as the Northern Spotted owl, from east to west is causing the continuation in…

Every year when summer and fall come around, Wisconsin campgrounds fill with families for annual trips, reunions, or spring-of-the-moment getaways. Preparation can be a huge hassle, packing the car to the brim, leaving just enough space for passengers, the dog, and a little bit of breathing room. When I attempt to make everything fit, it’s kind of like playing an exhausting game of Tetris, but it’s all worth it for that tranquil, beautiful, and unforgettable time I am yet to have. Upon arrival…

homeward toward dawn. "I implore you, unwavering cloak. Let her be," The Night sky would moan. Its unearthly-meander spilling into the earth below. "Tell me I do not love the evidence of dawn!" but the wind's mouth does not converse, it only whispers the truth--should you listen. Should you have ears to hear,"tell me she doesn't love me!" Limbless. Formless. As if a breath! The fragmented light threw her arms about the night sky! Spilling her luminosity into form... Bleeding, as the wind…

Spotted Owl The spotted owl lives in western North America and lives in old growth forest. The appearance of the owl is similar to the barred owl but differences include cross shaped marking on the underparts and belly. The owl nests in tree holes, rock crevices or other bird predators nests and can usually be found between 39-179 feet high. The owl usually lays 2-3 eggs but in some occasions can lay four. The owls size as an adult is about 17 inches in height, a wingspan of 45 inches and a…

Ambrose Bierce’s “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” ends with this stark imagery: “Peyton Farquhar was dead; his body, with a broken neck, swung gently from side to side beneath the timbers of Owl Creek bridge” (151). This line presents a cold, distant, and annotative description of death; there is little to invoke the representation of the life that has been lost. Yet, Bierce’s narrative up to this point has succinctly painted the picture of that life, its final moments and its desire to keep…
