Assignment 1 the preface of //Night//
The Story of a Survivor  Elie Wiesel, one of the few survivors of the Holocaust, wrote of his time in the concentration camps in the novel //Night.// Wiesel wrote //Night// to tell of his horrifying story. He wanted to give a meaning to his survival. Another reason he wrote this memoir was to try to prevent Germany form enjoying one last victory by letting Hitler's horrific crimes be erased from human memory. In addition, Wiesel could not keep silent even if it took all his power to speak. Yet, Wiesel was worried about this abridged version of //And the World Remained Silent.// He was afraid that people would not understand this version. Through Wiesel's memoir he expresses the hardship and fear that he went through during one of the world’s darkest times in history.

Death Camps
Death Camps Cold and Sad Horrifying, Spellbinding, Disgusting like God's unforgiving home for the deceased and as hot as the burning sun the end of the road for all that enter Crying During the darkest of hours never to return home

__ASSIGNMENT #3: Found Poem__
Days without food or water We were forbidden to leave The world remained silent Night had fallen

Children were crying for water They passed me by The road was endless I felt like an observer, a stranger in a world without God I’m neither a sage nor a just man; I’m a simple creature of flesh and bone

A corps contemplating me The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me Between life and death The end of the road, a silent death

To have lived and endured so much No prayers were said over his tomb No candle lit in his memory A reflection of God’s image
