Analysis Of Michael's 'EliNight'

A passage that struck me as something odd as a child of parents who was wrongly accused and sent to be executed, was where Daniel went to visit his sister after being admitted to a mental hospital. When Daniel first see’s his sister he exclaims,

We know from the first scene that Daniel Plainview is a man who does not give up in pursuit of something he wants. Even after breaking his leg, Daniel still saves a silver piece before crawling out of a mine and back to the place where he would cash in that silver piece. We know from the second scene that Daniel uses people, especially innocents such as children, to promote his agenda and for his own personal gain. He adopts a worker’s son after the man dies on the job at Daniel’s small drilling company so he can be perceived as a benevolent family-man while meeting with potential investors as well as making business deals. I believe that Daniel Plainview has some degree of Antisocial

Daniel does not tell us why he was mourning. We only know that Daniel was

The novel “Night” is a vivid representation of a man’s loss of faith from the beginning to the end of the catastrophic era in which this book takes place. As a young boy Elie’s inquisitive mind directed him to the synagogue where he would study the Kabbalah’s revelations and mysteries. Here is where “Moishe the beadle,” a friend to Elie, would sit with him in the synagogue and they would talk for hours about the intriguing secrets of Jewish mysticism. One important piece of advice that Moishe told Elie was, “There are a thousand and one gates allowing entry into the orchard of the mystical truth.” This simply meant he would need to pursue these answers on his own. However, Elie believed Moishe would help him bind his questions and answers as well, into one. These meetings were interrupted when Moishe was extracted from the Sighet where he experienced malice.

The "Letter to Daniel", written by Fergal Keane- an international journalist, is a strong emotive piece of writing, which would not have been nearly as effective without the detail that Keane has used. The main feature of the text is the letter format that Keane has used, addressed to his newborn son, Daniel, who obviously cannot read yet. The letter is exceptionally personal yet it was always intended for publishing. This begs for the question; "Why has Fergal Keane written this?" to be asked. In my opinion the piece is used for catharsis, and as a statement from Keane about how he now forgives his father for his behavior in the past, as I learned about in the separate piece "Letter to my Father", also written by

Daniel’s perspective is that Americans are not friendly. Daniel goes on to say that “you can not go to the house of somebody you don't know” (49.31). He later elaborates while in Sudan if you enter someone's home they will ask you questions such as “are you lost”, but in America, they will call the cops. Also later in the documentary there is a scene when Daniel talks about how when he was working at Whole Foods he saw a lady crying. Daniel said “lady walked by nobody talked to her, nobody confronted her”, he was dumbfounded that no one stopped to see what’s wrong (1.16.35). This event helped to shape his perspective that Americans are not friendly, they are closed off. For the lost boys of Sudan part of their behavioral culture is that they

His whole entire family was devastated of the news. When school comes back around and Daniel starts getting ready for it he finds out that they have to wear uniforms that have a star and the word Jew on them, he doesn’t like the fact that they have to be searched everyday just to be able to go to school. A few years passed by and Daniel is once again on a train at the age of seventeen except that time there’s one hundred other people closed in on freight car. Then his family members start getting sick and then dying. First it was one of his cousins, second it was his uncle. His grandma gets sick and he takes her to the hospital, but it gets evacuated and he seems to not be able to find her. The Nazi’s were looking for her and came and got her. This is my book report on the book Daniel’s story, I would recommend people read this story there was a lot that i didn't cover but mostly the thing denial cared about was his pictures. He liked to look back on them and notice the change in his lifetime things have been hard for denial but he’s got through

Chesterton answered all the questions that Daniel had asked in his books and in 2002 Daniel decided to become a believer. Daniel’s beliefs look a little different than an average Christian; his “moral values are based more on ideas that are logical, make sense to me and that I have thought through carefully, than on the ability to “walk in another person’s shoes” (225). He has always treated people with respect but now there is logic behind that treatment. Daniel says that he treats people with respect and kindness “because I believe each person is unique and created in God’s image” (225).

Daniel Plainview, from “There will be Blood”, also illustrates the dangers of greed through his ruthlessness to get what he wants by abandoning his humanity and the inevitable outcome that accompanies it. In the beginning, we see Daniel as a prospector who discovers a large piece of silver. After damaging his leg and retrieving the silver, he drags himself out of the well and into town to cash in on what he had found. We see the tenacious determination of this man and the extreme lengths he is willing to go to become a success. However, his greed causes him to limp for the rest of his life because of how severely damaged his leg was. Two things that conflict within Daniel is his struggle for family and fortune. When one of the men in the oil well dies accidentally, Daniel adopts and cares for his that man’s child even though he doesn’t have to, showing his strong value for family. Another is example is young Mary, the daughter of Abel Sunday and the younger sister of Paul and Eli Sunday. Daniel is the one who stops the abuse Mary is getting from her father at home. He despises the abuse, making a mockery of Abel at the dinner table, emasculating him for being an abusive father. However, Daniel slips away from the choice of family, and towards selfish, lonely gain. Henry, Daniel’s fake brother, has a power over Daniel, knowing the things he 's said and what he 's like behind the mask, so he kills Henry, in order to prevent him from losing credibility that could lead to a

This is demonstrated with HW whom Daniel is loving and caring towards when he is a child, however towards the end of the text where HW is an adult and wants to start his own oil company, Daniel becomes hostile towards him and starts to threaten and insult him “you are a bastard from a basket”. Daniel “I hate most people” has a pessimistic, he sees the worst in people and “I want no one else to succeed”. Daniel is a narcissistic pessimist, he is all about himself and only himself “I have a competition in me”. As stated in the essay he ‘has’ to be the God of his surroundings and the people around him. The director characterises Daniel Plainview as a narcissist through selfish acts and statements that he makes “I see the worst in

Daniel has realized what a terrible mistake he made with the actions he took by driving while intoxicated. Unfortunately, we can’t turn back the hands of time but we can look to

When I read the book of Daniel it’s not just about his life, but how he also influenced the lives of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They displayed a life that was solidified in their beliefs in God and no one could change that. It was that beliefs that reflected in their character and success

Also there are many aspects that the audience learn from this movie such as child care, transgender, and being responsible for your action in life when having family and jobs. In my opinion, this movie is more of being responsible with how he lived with his jobs and having family. He focuses on spending more time with his children to learn and to be happy. Furthermore, he was able to fulfilled the career that he want to do as a voice actor by becoming a host of a children (or some sort of education) documentary show. As a nanny, Daniel realized that teaching his children will able to be dependable for Miranda because they love their parents for being considerate to them. Also, it helps them to be more mature and responsible with their lives that they were able to take care by

Daniel tried to assuage the feeling of anger by doing something that makes him happy.

Among the many messages in the book of Daniel, one of the main themes is the idea of know your place in any society. This themes comes up in many different places in the book of Daniel but one of the key places is in the very beginning.
