Assignment 1- The Preface of //Night//
The reason Elie Wiesel translated his book is not clear to him. Although, he is really glad he wrote it because his life as a writer would be nothing without writing this book. The reason he tries to keep in mind is, trying to prevent what happened then, to happen again. The Yiddish version of the book so long, that when his editor edited top a shorter version he was ok with it. He said that there is a superfluous of words, but very little detail was important. The Yiddish version of the book contains the memory of when Wiesel’s dad was on his death bed, but in the new translation the passage about his dad’s last words weren’t there. The reason for this is because he thought it was too personal to present. A reason why Wiesel took so long for the translation was because in his the early year his English wasn’t as good as it is now. Wiesel is surprised how well //Night// had affected people. He believes as a survivor of the holocaust he should tell his story everyone who wants to listen.

A ssignment #3: The Found Poem
The Ghetto

Day after day Summer sun Beautiful day in May Few more steps, beyond the ghetto wall Peaceful children, burst out laughing

Day after tomorrow To dream, to sleep Don’t think, don’t stop Keep the faith, make an effort Moment of panic, night after night

Gaping doors and windows looked out into the void Man closer to god He as awkward as a clown, Tomorrow night, became very frightened He’s cold eyes stared at me, I exploded
