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

**The reason for writing Night**

Ellie Wiesel’s book //Night// is about his story of what he went through during the holocaust. Ellie Wiesel decided to write //Night// because he felt that it was his job as a survivor to share his story of what he went through. He also stated that he wanted to give meaning to his survival. Wiesel also knew that this period in time would be judged by many people as to what they believed. So being a survivor, Wiesel felt that he needed to serve as a witness by writing the book. When Ellie Wiesel began to write the book he was worried that people would not understand him. He felt that he did not have the right words to say the things he wanted to, and believed that language would be an obstacle. Wiesel decided to translate his book because he wanted to replace the first book with a better on that has more resemblance to the original.



Assignment #2
Crematoriums Dirty, foul Screaming, mourning, crying Like the ashes of a conflagration and as scary as death itself. A never ending funeral Burning On the pathway of death 

**Assignment #3: Found Poem**
Yellow star Not lethal The signal to leave We were on our way “fire! Look at the fire!” Heading for the crematorium Never shall I forget Prisoners were at work Work makes you free A-77i3 The verge of breaking Do not cry Don’t be afraid Don’t lose faith in yourself Night
