__Assignment 1: The Preface of //Night//__


Elie Wiesel expresses reasons for writing //and the World has Remained Silent//, future worries and why he wrote //Night//. Elie Wiesel portrays what occurred to him in Auschwitz as a young boy to make readers understand the tragedies that happened. Wiesel writes to his greatest abilities to leave a "legacy of words and memories" to prevent the past from repeating its self (vii Wiesel). Another piece of history that Wiesel tried to preserve are the horrors of Auschwitz that he witnessed as a young boy. Wiesel's main concern in his writing is to present enough information to the readers so that they will be aware of history and attempt to prevent it further into the future. Wiesel re-writes //Night// with the assistance of his wife's translation to fix major details and present a more heartfelt version of the book. It is beneficial to learn literature from a different perspective so that one can fully indulge in its meaning.

__Assignment 2: Figurative Language Poem__
Ovens Abhorrence, Torrid Limbs burning like wood as conflagrations destroy evidence Millions gone along with their cities; expunged. Flames of the past put out by peace of the future.
