Night quote analysis (part 5-6)

" In the depths of my heart I felt a great void" (Wiesel 76.)
         This shows how Elie is broken down so far that he doesn't even pray any more. He has no more faith or belief. The Germans had not only taken their homes, ripped their family apart, and forced them to live in concentration camps but they also strip them of their religion. A lot of the Jewish keep faith and continue to pray. Thinking things will get better, while others had giving up. Wondering if there was a God, why would he let that happen to them.

  "I was silent." (Wiesel 81)
      This quote really shows how frightened and scares Elie was at that moment, even if he didn't say it. He becomes worried, knowing that his father probably wouldn't make it past this round. Even though he is silent he really is thinking a million different things. This shows how hopeless Elie had became.

Night, quote analysis part 3

"Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and soul and turned my dreams to dust. " (Wiesel 43) 
         In these lines a lot of hyperbol is being used. "Those moments that murdered my God and my soul"(Wiesel 43) hyperbole is used when Wiesel talks about his God and soul being murdered.  There is also a metaphor, as seen in the last part of the sentence. Wiesel is comparing his dreams to useless, and worthless dust that drifts away with the slightest of breezes. 
      This shows how the Jewish Community, even though they wanted something, anything, to look forward to and hold on too. They just wanted something to show them life isn't pointless.

"Within a few seconds, we ceased to be men "(Wiesel 45) 
      The way the Jews were treated were terrible, they were treated as though they weren't even human beings. This is shown in the quote, when they they " ceased to be men " they had given up all hope for it ever being different, they knew it was do this or die.
      I believe the author wanted the readers to understand how lost, hopeless, and degraded these men, women, and children were.

Night, quote analysis part

" I heard a jew behind me heave a sigh 'What can we expect? ' he said ' It's war..."(Wiesel 16)
When the Jew talks about war it is an example of foreshadowing, because its leading to the fact that the Jewish community knows that bad things are going to happen to them and that safety isn't in their near future. 
This relates to the big picture of the story because it shows hold the older, and wiser of the Jewish Community already knew that it wasn't going tp get better for them. This also kind of like what Wiesel is trying to get across to his readers, that even though the Jewish Community has hope, most of them know that it is false hope. This is important because it helps show how the Jewish Community was treated.
"To the very last moment, a germ of hope stayed alive in our heads" (Weisel 25)
This shows how the members of the Jewish Community, held on to hope, even if they knew that clouds would never clear up for them. The author uses the word Germ to stress the point that hope was fighting to stay in themselves and infecting them to pray and wish things would turn out alright.
This relates to the bigger picture, because it shows how the strength the Jewish people had.

Snapshot of Kennywood

The view from high atop Kennywood's Phantom Revenge is simply stunning. The wind is rushing through your hair and around your face. It smells a mixture of  Potato Patch french fries  , cotton candy, and sweat. From its highest point you can see the rest of the park, the parking lot, the Monongahela river, and many building opposite the river. As you're going down you can almost taste the french fries, you can feel the wind whipping through your hair, and hear the screams of many excited roller coaster riders.

A Good Listener.

In Of Mice and Men Curley's wife confides in Lennie.  She tells him about her life before she married Curley and moved to the ranch. She also tells Lennie how she doesn't like Curley and she doesn't really want to be married to him. She tells him how she is very lonely living on the ranch, and just wants a friend. 

        Someone who is a good listener looks at you while you are speaking. They also don't interrupt you. They wait till you are done till ask questions or make comments. They don't make faces or give glares. Every once in  awhile they make noises or say words to acknowledge that they're listening to you.

        I once confided in my friend with the boy I had a crush on, after I told her she went and dated him. I was really upset because she knew I liked him. I didn't talk to her or him for awhile. Later that year when I talked to her again she told me who she had a crush on. I handled it and didn't turn on her. I didn't go and date him or tell any one else that she liked him.

A "Perfect" World

A perfect world. That doesn't sound realistic does it? That's because it isn't. Us as humans have never been able to achieve a "perfect" world.  Either our government is too much power or not enough power.Whatever reason it is, we can't seem to make the world "perfect". My question is what would be a "perfect" world ?

       In my perfect world there wouldn't be any violence, killing, or bullying. Everybody would get along with each other. Those to refuse to would be sent to a remote island where all of the people who didn't get along would go . I wouldn't make everyone the same though, because then the world would be boring. I also wouldn't punish anyone for being different like they did in Harrison Bergeron. Just for fun I would have everybody eat cinnamon toast every other Sunday morning! Also on one Friday a month we would all wear crazy outfits.  

        In conclusion I don't think that a perfect world is probable. If it ever did happen it wouldn't be for thousands of years. If it did happen I would be pretty strict on certain thing like violence,bullying, and other certain things. Otherwise I'd be pretty lenient and make sure there would be fun and creative laws. My government wouldn't be to strong or to weak. In the end my perfect world would just be nice people, cinnamon toast, and crazy-dressed Fridays!
