ASSIGNMENT #1: The Preface of Night
Wiesel the Truth Teller

The author, Elie Wiesel in the historical novel //Night//, had a hard life and wanted to share it with many people. Wiesel felt that if he did not write the book that

nobody would be able to hear the story from somebody who actually went through it. Some people who were born during World War II still do not want to

believe that concentration camps were real, and Wiesel wanted to change that. The last reason why Wiesel wanted to write the book was because he wanted

to touch people's hearts all over the world. The things that Wiesel went through were very hard for him to go through. It was a good thing that he was able to

write them down so readers could experience what he went through.

ASSIGNMENT #2: Figurative Language Poem
Auschwitz

Dark and barren Disturbing, creepy, afflicting

Like stepping on hot coals with bare feet and as horrific as a movie The camp is a deathbed for most

Traumatizing With their loved ones into the gas chambers



__ASSIGNMENT #3: Found Poem__
Running

Collapsing into the dirty snow Don't stop, run!

Fingers on the triggers Don't stop, run!

My stomach aches Don't stop, run!

Shivering with every step Don't stop, run!

Death enveloped me Don't stop, run!

Out of breath, out of strength, desperate Don't stop, run!

My foot was aching Don't stop, run!

The road was endless
