Assignment #1: The Preface of Night
More than Just a Book

Elie Wiesel wrote the book __Night__ because he felt that it was his duty to inform the future generations of the tragic event know as the Holocaust. Wiesel believed that in order to keep another event like the Holocaust from happening in the future, then the future generation needed to be informed about the tragedy. He also felt that it would be an insult to the brave humans who died in the Holocaust to just forget about the event. He felt that to just forget something so tragic and something that took so many lives would be like killing the humans who were killed in the Holocaust a second time. He felt that people who had not witnessed the Holocaust could never know how truly horrific it was but he hoped that by writing this novel they would understand what happened. Wiesel has allowed many of the innocent victims of the Holocaust to live on in his book.



Barbed Wire, Rusty and twisted Foreboding, jagged, and piercing

Acting like a fence but deadly like a disease A dividing line between freedom and captivity Threatening To the Jew’s freedom and to their souls



ASSIGNMENT #3: Found Poem
Morgan Williams February 22, 2010 English 8P-5

Against All Odds

Don’t think, don’t stop, run! Nobody wanted to give up now To sleep meant to die I had no right to let myself die

A dance of death Walking through a cemetery Nothing but mass agony and silence

But all I had to do was close my eyes to see a whole world pass before me

Swept away by blind fate We were the only men on earth We were the masters of nature

Chilled to the bone We pressed on

We’re arriving in Gleiwitz!
