Elie Wiesel
= = In the novel //Night //  by Elie Wiesel, it is about Elie's struggles going through the holocaust and after he finished the book, he had many obstacles trying to make it famous. One reason he wrote //Night //  was to keep him from being insane and from becoming mad. Wiesel desired to write words and memories so he could prevent the horrific history from happening again. Elie Wiesel wanted people to see how an adolescent could try to cope with the death of his family and see people getting killed. Because Elie never spoke out during the holocaust, he wanted to transfer his longing of speaking his mind onto the book. While Elie was writing the book, every major publisher around the time rejected him and he had to translate the languages to make the book better. He first made the book into Yiddish, then to French and lastly to English. Elie worried he was saying too much in his book. He thought he made some of the story too personal. With the help of his wife, Marion, she translated the book into English because Elie was not good at speaking and writing English. Elie’s novel became a big success in many countries and showed people the deep, dark depths of the holocaust. = = = =

 S.S Officers Cruel and Hateful Killing, yelling, and mocking Like a cereal killer catching its prey and as thoughtless as a little kid going for candy A killing machine inside a human body Bossing Around the innocent people inside the concentration camp

Assignment #3: Found Poem
Injection of Morphine Night was falling rapidly We would know the verdict Death or reprieve Some were preying In the corner silent motionless I ran without looking back I began to laugh In three days Winter had arrived God is no longer with us I plodded around Like a sleepwalker Lost all incentive to fight and opened the door to death I could not feel my leg Like an injection of morphine.
