Assignment #1: The Preface of //Night//
 Elie Wiesel  Elie Wiesel has written the award-winning novel, //Night//, for many reasons. Rather than writing this story for pleasure, he felt as if this was why he is still living. Wiesel was a teenager during World War Two and witnessed the extermination of many loved ones. It is truly a miracle that he survived through such an evil time. Writing this book was very important to Wiesel because he feels that the public needs to keep reading about this tragedy in order to honor the victims and prevent this from happening. At first, Wiesel’s longer version of the book would not be published. Many publishing companies were afraid of speaking of this tragic event of history. Countries such as Germany and France have tried to cope with their past by hiding it. But that will never cause us to forget, especially Elie Wiesel, a witness, from forgetting the Holocaust.

ASSIGNMENT #3: Found Poem
 Listen Heavy silence There was nobody outside An open tomb My mind was empty The journey had just begun

An unimaginable nightmare Trembling A great void opening Defeat I no longer accepted God'd silence

Don't think Don't stop Run Abandoned without a tear Suddenly, the silence became more oppressive
