Assignment #1 Preface of //Night//
The Reasons Behind Wiesel’s Novel

==

Elie Wiesel wrote the memoir //Night// for many different reasons. To begin with, Wiesel wrote the memoir to preserve a record of the ordeal he endured as an adolescent. IN addition, Wiesel wrote //Night// to go mad in order to understand the nature of madness. The most important reason that Wiesel wrote //Night// was to keep history from repeating itself. Wiesel’s greatest worry while writing //Night// was that if it was translated and abridged from French to English people would not fully understand the meaning of the memoir. As one can see, Wiesel makes the horrific and heartbreaking times of the holocaust clear in his memoir //Night// so that people can fully understand the effects of the holocaust.

** Concentration Camps ** Concentration Camps Filthy and squalid Mourning, grieving, mutilating Like death just waiting for someone and as lethal as a black widow The world’s largest graveyard Burning Fueled by humans, memories, and cruelty by mankind



Assignment # 3: Found Poem
The Worst Nightmare

Beloved objects are now illusions On a beautiful sunny day The smoke of burning babies Everybody in line to get his or her hair shaved off Never shall I forget that smoke

We were withered trees in the heart of the desert I, consumed, invaded, and devoured by the burning flames Warning! Danger of death Work makes you free Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever

Ahead of you lies a long road paved with suffering Those were the first human words The faster you run, the faster you will go to sleep The world? The world is not interested in us Never shall I forget that night.
