Assignment number 1: //the Preface of Night//
Reasons for Writing

Eliezer, or Elie, Wiesel wrote the memoir //And the World Remained Silent// because he wanted to understand the hysteria that had happened, to prevent history from repeating itself, and to create a record of his terrible experience. Wiesel wrote the new translation of //Night// because felt like the old version did not convey his emotions correctly and that somethings in the old version were wrong. By writing the book Wiesel hopes that nothing like the holocaust happens again. Wiesel does this by teaching the general public about these events through his books. Wiesel hopes that by making a record he can tell people what happened and that they will listen and teach future generations for that is the only way to prevent such thing according to Wiesel. By revisiting his memories Wiesel was able to better understand what happened. Wiesel notes that there are still people who deny the holocaust ever happens but he takes an action to stop these people from getting others to think the same way by writing this book. Finally Wiesel notes that today students are educated about the holocaust and his book is part of that curriculum many of those times ands Wiesel's hopes are already coming true.

**FIRE** Fire Hot and deadly Burning, crackling, blazing A stench like that of death and a destroyer of evidence like a shredder The everlasting pain of the devil Killing Without rules until it is put out



__Assignment 3: Found Poem__
**Denial to Truth**


 * All the foreign Jews expelled**
 * Crammed into cattle cars**


 * Listen to me**
 * They think I’m mad**
 * Forced to dig huge trenches**
 * And to offer their necks**
 * Infants used as targets**


 * Life seemed normal again**
 * Annihilate an entire people**
 * Dispersed throughout so many nations**
 * By what means**
 * By what means**


 * The fascist party had seized power**
 * German army vehicles on our streets**
 * The Jews of Sighet were still smiling**
 * Smiling**


 * Then the ghettos**
 * Life returned to normal**
 * Normal**
 * Normal**


 * Then an unimaginable nightmare**
 * Auschwitz**
