awe that he projects and some even believe that she may be a close family member of his. I believe that he does love her in a romantic way, however she is someone he cannot touch or even hope to build a relationship with as she is as mysterious as night and far like the moon. In the first stanza and first line he says she walks in beauty. He does not necessarily say she herself is beautiful, but her motion and the way she carries herself elegant and ethereal, much…
It is a record of the conversations between Confucius and his disciples, which were later written down by his disciples. It is one of the major parts of Four Books. Confucius’s philosophies are based on the principle of good conduct, wisdom and proper social relationships. Confucius was the person who said that country should be ruled by moral values rather than with military powers. In the Analects Confucius says, “By nature men are pretty much alike; it is learning and practice that set them…
impression of it was that it was small- too small to house so many. Now, with me in the foray, the already-crowded house was bursting at the seams. I was introduced to the Marai household as part of my Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. This required me to live with them for an extended period of time; learning their lifestyle, helping with their everyday chores and all in all, integrating myself within their family…
The memoir Night, written by Eliezer Wiesel, tells of the experiences that happened in the Nazi German concentration camps during the Holocaust. Elie is separated from his mother and three sisters early in the book. The book tells of the horrific experiences that he and his father must face together. There are several themes that can be identified in this book, but I will concentrate on the struggle with faith. Raised to be a faithful young man, Eliezer Wiesel’s faith is tested but never truly…
NIGHT COMMENTARY In this passage from the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie had been snatched from his home and transported to a concentration camp, in a cattle car.

The air was crisp and cool. The sky was a deep shade of purple that signaled night was setting in the sky. There was no illumination of this land other than the shimmering moon and the warm, eerie glow from the apartment buildings scattered among the fields. In the fields themselves, insects buzzed and chirped, hidden deep within the underbrush. In the soil, prairie dogs scrambled fervently, navigating their tunnels in search of a nighttime meal. On the edge of the fields, a deserted path lay…
conclude that the guards of the concentration camps were the only ones who dealt out the inexplicable cruelty to the innocent Jewish prisoners of World War II. This statement later proves to be completely fictional. Elie Wiesel, writer of the memoir, Night describes the unthinkable injustice dealt to the prisoners by the German officers, but also the inconceivable: the dehumanization of prisoners by other prisoners. In his memoir, Wiesel goes beyond explaining the horrors of Hitler and the Nazi…
comfortable with or believe in themselves; this is alternately called peer pressure. However, even through moments of weakness and the struggle to belong, one shapes and forms their own identity simply by knowing what they do and do not believe in.
