Assignment #1: The Preface of //Night//
Elie Wiesel, who is the author of the novel //Night//, experienced great soul-searching and doubts about his ability to describe the years he spent under Nazi command in World War 2. There are three reasons why Wiesel wrote the book “And the World Remained Silent”, which was later converted into the English version of //Night//. One reason why he wrote about his experiences in Auschwitz was so that he could leave behind a story in which words and memories would help prevent history from repeating itself. Second, he wrote //Night// in hope of essentially going mad so he could attempt to understand the Germans’ state of mind. The third and final reason behind the memoir was to simply record his thoughts and feelings of what he went through in the death camps because his experiences where so much more evil and torturous than what a normal teen should ever have to experience. While writing this novel, Wiesel became worried that he would write too much and his stories would become too brutal and the people would not understand what he is trying to say. That is why “And the World Remained Silent” was translated and revised into an English version called //Night//. This book is stilled sold and used in schools today, more than 60 years later.

 The Crematoriums Hot and torturous Smoking, moaning, and hissing Like a casket but as hot as a heater A death trap Burning Like the pits of hell on earth

ASSIGNMENT #3: GRAMMAR POEM
The Beginning

The Germans were already in our town On the seventh day of Passover, the curtain finally rose A new decree: Every Jew had to wear the yellow star The yellow star? So what? It’s not lethal… Then came the Ghetto The ghetto was ruled by neither German nor Jew It was ruled by delusion

It was close to midnight At last the door opened and he appeared The news is terrible… transports The ghettos were to be liquidated entirely Departures were to take place street by street Starting the next day

Where will they take us? That was a secret A secret for all.
