**Why Did He Do This?**
In the novel __Night__ by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel writes about his life while writing this book. He had three things that drove him to write __Night__, Wiesel explained that he might have wrote it to go crazy so he could comprehend the “terrifying madness that had erupted in history and in the conscience of mankind” (Wiesel //vii//). He also did it to leave behind a kind of warning so as to not let history repeat itself. As well as to keep a memoir of the suffering that he endured. While he was writing the book he could not find the right words, as if he did not know the language. When he did get the words out he was then worried that he said too much, so he translated __And the World Remained Silent__ and he made __Night__. He decided to translate because when he wrote the original he was an “unknown writer who was just getting started,” and did not know English very well (Wiesel //xiii//). Wiesel went through a lot to write this book but he overcame the problem and pushed through a great product.

Concentration Camps
** Concentration Camps **  enclosed and guarded   terrorizing, menacing, depressing   like the prison cell of someone on death row, and can be as lonely as an empty funeral home   an prison filled with innocent people, all sent there by one prejudiced judge   suffering   because people did not care

Assignment #3: Found Poem
===  The Warning ===
 * I wanted to come back to warn you**

The curtain finally rose; the race towards death had begun Tomorrow could be worse yet The iron gate closed behind us Warning danger of death

That was when I began to hate them What had happened to me Fire I see fire! You will be burned to ashes

The real news The last night We gave thanks to God The story he had interrupted would remain unfinished

Surely it was a dream I cried because something inside me felt the need to cry My soul had been invaded- and devoured- by a black flame Never


 * I warned you**
