Assignment #1: Preface of //Night//
Night Preface Paragraph Elie Wiesel was a courageous man with a mighty will. He held through the horrific massacres of the holocaust in the 1940's, witnessing the memories that he will never forget. Elie vividly remembers watching children being thrown into fires, people getting buried into the graves in which they dug out five minutes before, and his dad calling for him to come to his side as he slowly passed away. Wiesel was a weak man who did not believe in miracles, though, the is arguably the greatest miracle this planet has seen. He does not know why he was chosen to survive the holocaust, nor the reason for which he wrote this book. He felt his survival of the Holocaust had to be put to good use, since the number of holocaust survivors are dwindling daily. He worries that if genocide occurs once more, that the world will remain silent once again. His revealing novel has been translated once more by his wife because Elie felt his wife had a better knowledge of the English language. Wiesel wanted to expose what was happening behind those barbed wire fenced guarded by the ruthless nazis, and how those same nazis are still walking the streets of Berlin this very instant.

Days went by, life was normal again I saw Moishe the Beadle sitting on a bench He was wounded in the leg and left for the dead One jewish house to the next Just listen to me!

Even i didn't believe him I no longer care to live, i am alone insignificant, invisible The Germans were already in our town Moishe the Beadle came running to our house I warned you
