Assingment #1: The Preface of //Night//
Reasons for //Night// Elie Wiesel believed he must bear witness to the horrible atrocities of the Holocaust. He believed others will never know what he went through but he wanted to know if they would understand. He hoped the public would consider it normal help the weak, sickly, poor and others that genuinely needed help. Wiesel wanted his testimony to be received. I believe Wiesel wanted //Night// to be translated so that even those who didn’t know Yiddish would know what happened to him. Wiesel wanted the entire world to know about the atrocities he saw. Wiesel’s pain from losing his family may have inspired him writing //Night.// He wanted to share his faiths.



 Gold, silver and watches. New and old. Shining, Sparkling and Glistening Like our illusions of our troubles or our denial of our misfortunes. Our shining proof of our grand illusion. Hiding Us from the reality around us.

A ssignment #3: Found Poem

 * SHATTERED ILLUSIONS, BOUNDLESS ATROCITIES **

The eight days of Passover

The race toward death had begun

First Edict: Jews confined to homes

Second Edict: Jews cannot own gold

Third edict: Jews must wear the yellow star

Then came the ghettos

Barbed wire that encircled

Dominated by delusion

Gestapo, new faces in the ghetto

Transports

A hermetically sealed cattle car

Fire! I see a fire!

A tall chimney

Children thrown into the flames

What was there to thank Him for?
