Once upon a midnight dreary, the guard had entered, weak and weary [CI]To guard the same old pizzeria he’s guarded many times before— [CI]Sat in the office, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping [CI]Just like someone gently rapping, rapping on his office door. [CI]”Just my head,” he had muttered, “Not a knocking on the door— [CI]Only this, and nothing more.” [CI]’The heating!’ He remembered, as it was a cold December [CI]And not a blaze, a fire, nor ember brought warmth up to the ground floor [CI]Eagerly he wished the morrow:— Vainly had he looked to borrow [CI]From his pockets, but O sorrow— Sorrow, for his phone’s with him no more— [CI]He must have left it in his coat, for it’s in his jean pocket no more— [CI]Left timeless, he, …show more content…
The tapping is no more!— [CI]And I’ll know for certain that it’s no machine of gears and gore;— [CI]It’s the heating! Nothing more!” [CI]Once the guard traversed the clutter, he soon let a fearful stutter, [CI]For he had seen a thing he’d once believed was merely urban lore; [CI]Not a moment stopped or stayed he, for the door control did reach he; [CI]With heaving breaths the guard managed close the office door— [CI]Staring out into the darkness to what stood behind the door— [CI]Groaned and stood, and nothing more. [CI]This purple rabbit smiling, with the poor guard’s terror rising, [CI]Terrified of the machinery and comic suit it wore, [CI]”Why do you stand, grim and graven,” he said, “Outside my haven, [CI]Like a deathly crow or raven wandering from the Styx’s shore— [CI]Tell me how you just left the stage, let alone the Styx’s shore!” [CI]He asked the beast of gears and gore. [CI]Simply staring at the lapid, the night which once was vapid, [CI]Had declined to one of horror, one that would not aim to bore; [CI]For one cannot help agreeing that there is no human being [CI]That would not shake and tremble from the visage past that door— [CI]The visage of death and misery behind that office door, [CI]The iris beast of gears and gore [CI]But the rabbit standing lonely by the metal door, did only [CI]Stand there, like it was to do so with but little purpose more [CI]Not a single word it uttered, staring at the office cluttered— [CI]As the guard had
Our human species is dated back to more than 200,000 years ago, now if we can attain a significant lesson that our ancestors have passed down to us, it would definitely be to keep learning and writing. Many past generations and societies have been destroyed by diseases, famine, and due to their lack of knowledge and their capability to reason. Considering the Egyptians were very intelligent, few of their inventions that we still use till this day are geometry, the pen, and papyrus, which is used as paper. But even so, they were wiped out by the thousands from diseases. However, humans have yet to reach their highest potential but by attaining knowledge through literature, one can endure lessons from the past without having to experience it.

In the novel Night by Elie Wiesel and the short story The Breakaway the two authors use of imagery is similar because they both show how the events taking place look, add great detail into them, and show how the reader feels during the event.

An example of this in Night is “the old men stayed in their corner, silent, motionless, hunted-down creatures.” the imagery Night uses makes tone.
