Assignment #1 The Preface of //Night [[image:http://bookyelper.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/06hdceliewieselphoto2.jpg width="215" height="233"]]//
In the preface of //Night//, Elie Wiesel explained three reasons why he wrote //And the World Remained Silent and Night.// He wrote them to understand the nature of madness that had erupted in history. He also wrote them to leave behind a legacy of words or memories to help prevent history from repeating itself. Lastly, he wrote the devastating act of genocide to record what had happened to him as a child. Elie was worried about saying to much than saying to little in his books. He wrote the new translation of night version was too long. Wiesel explains that he was an unknown writer who was just getting started. But as a result of some major editing he was able to correct and revise a number of important details along with the help from many others.



Assignment #2 Images of Night
Gas Chamber Enclosed and Crowded Suffocating, Choking, Constricting Like a box with no openings and as murky as a rainforest swamp. A dark cave of unknown Killing In a single room with no air

Assignment #3 "Found Poem"
Whipped

Roll call I stepped forward Tasting the bitterness of fear I felt the sweat running down my back Fear was greater than hunger

A Crate On your belly. I obeyed I no longer felt anything except the lashes of the whip He took his time between lashes

Ten... eleven! His voice was Calm and reached me as through a thick wall Twenty-three Two more, I thought, half unconscious It was over.
