Night

Night and Fog discusses death in a blunt way. This film is focused on showing the atrocities that lead up to and encompassed concentration camps. In this film, they focus on how those who were in the concentration camps dealt with the constant threat of dying, in a situation that was caused by other people as opposed to an accident, or natural causes. (Dauman, Halfon, Lifchitz & Resnais, 1956.) Just as Dr. Crane suggested I had a difficult time watching this film. Frankly I never want to see…

and water, you got sick, and you didn’t have clothes to wear on your body or shoes on your feet. There are many women, children and elderly who died because they couldn’t work. They were sent to be burned, poisoned, and shot to death. In the book Night, by Elie Weisel it tells about his life during the holocaust. How he had wondered if God was there anymore and if he was going to make it out alive. In my opinion the theme is based around distance, because it talks about emotional distance and…

to use this land. While doing the assessment the Night Parrot made a appearance. Over a hundred years of not being seen is raised from the depths of the grasslands. After recent studies there is an estimated of 100 or more birds in the area. After being gone so long this is a great thing to…

In 1798 a well-known poet named Samuel Taylor Coleridge published his poem The Rime of The Ancient Mariner. The poem was contained in a poem collage by Coleridge and William Wordsworth called the Lyrical Ballads. Coleridge is known for the Romantic influence in his writings: “Coleridge achieved wonder by the frank violation of natural laws, impressing upon readers a sense of occult powers and unknown modes of being” (“The Romantic Period: Topics.” The Norton Anthology of English Literature).…

Death will always come to any person born on this earth, and people always ignore it until the day comes. In the poem, “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Dylan Thomas, anyone who reads this poem will interpret and pick up the underlying lesson of continuing to fight or live each day as if it is your last. The theme throughout the poem is death; it has a repentant tone and slowly creates an atmosphere of resistance against the “dying light.” This reflects the understanding that even at…

In Night, Elie starts by describing how he was once a religious thirteen year old Jewish boy; but, that all changed when Elie was forced to leave his home and was sent off to a…

millions of innocent people was for the good of his nation. This makes him a truly evil character in history. The prisoners of his death factories included the Jewish people, Roma, homosexuals, and political prisoners. Throughout Elie Wiesel’s memoir, Night, the Nazis use dehumanization to strip the Jewish people of everything that makes them human. The physical tool that the concentration camps hadson its victims changes them into something inhuman and unrecognizable.…

While reading the novel Night, by Elie Wiesel, I found myself having an epiphany on page 69 of the book. Here, Elie is discussing a predicament the Jewish people in the concentration camp are having as Yom Kippur, a Jewish holiday is approaching and traditionally people of the Jewish religion fast on that day. Elle said, “the question was hotly debated. To fast could mean a more certain, more rapid death.” These two lines provided me with the sudden revelation of how religious many of the…

Preforming in act 2 scene 5 in Twelfth Night, I was able to get a more in depth view of Sir Andrew’s character and therefore empathize with him more. I was able to narrow in on just Andrew’s lines and view the world from his perspective, as opposed to reading the book as a whole. Toby, Fabian, and Andrew, along with Maria, write a fake letter in the style of Olivia’s handwriting that falsely confesses Olivia’s love for Malvolio. They leave the letter for the thoughtless Malvolio to find and Toby…
