Assignment #1: The Preface of //Night//


The Memoir of Terror Elie Wiesel’s time in the concentration camp Buchenwald is recorded in his memoir //Night//. He says he is not sure why he wrote the book, but he has three possible answers. In the first reason Wiesel wonders if he wrote so he we would not go mad from what he had experienced during his time in the camp. The second reason was so he would go mad in order to understand madness and the terror that comes with it. A third reason, which I believe is the most plausible, was to leave a record of what happened to him so it would never happen again. I believe that this is the most plausible because of others’ concerns about the same thing. Wiesel was also worried that the text might be superfluous.Wiesel wrote the new translation because his wife, Marion, understands his voice better than anyone else. As one can see, while Wiesel’s reasons for writing the book are indecisive he still gets his point across.

Assignment#3: Found Poem
Poor Hero Poor hero He was the one Looking for a ghostly reflection For no apparent reason

Silent For all eternity His face turned toward the judge Deeply observant More solemn than afraid  Three black ravens Expecting trouble Anguish on their faces A great void opening

A boy of thirteen To be slaughtered Alone Like a stranger Abandoned by the whole world Poor hero
