Analysis Of The Book ' The Cold Nights '

As I begin to read Lydia’s story, I recall the days that led up to the named storm, Hurricane Katrina. It was the year 2005. Most of the people I came in contact with were tracking the storm and wondered if the storm would come our way. We spoke of how we would prepare for the storm. I was afraid because my husband was on the road and I was alone to take care of my five-year-old child and my home. Lydia was brave as she rode out the storm.

In the book Night by Elie Wiesel there are many instances where his use of imagery helps establish tone and purpose. For example Elie Wiesel used fire (sight) to represent just that. The fire helps prove that the tone is serious and mature. In no way did Wiesel try to lighten up the story about the concentration camps or the Nazis. His use of fire also helps show his purpose. “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times scaled. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw

“When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope” (I Am Number Four Caruso). In life, when we give up hope, we give up everything. Our dreams are forever lost and the fight within us to live on is gone. Giving up hope is giving up on life. Even in the darkest moments of life there is always hope and that hope will keep you living. In the book Night, people either gave up hope of everything or held on to what little hope they had and lived to tell their story. A man named Meir Kratz lost hope and had no will to survive, and thus surrendered his life. Another person in the book, Akiba Drumer, lost all hope in life and eventually gave in to death. Eliezer

Memories of the night before became a vivid memory in the recesses of his dimly lit mind, underneath the sunlight's intruding yet blissful gaze and the sensation of silk against his bare skin felt like a euphoria, a river of midnight encased his slender figure and with the scrunch of his refined nose and furrowed knit of his thin eyebrows, he rose from his slumber. Delicate fingertips leisurely danced across the silken sheets which lost its assuaging warmth only to discern that he was gone, Padding through the spacious house far too big for two alone to fill, and too much of a burden for one to find comfort in. To see his lover, clad in a suit that managed to take his breath away immediately

In the book Night and the movie, Schindler’s List, the protagonists go through major changes due to their experiences of the Holocaust, a period in history no man would want to envision. Schindler’s List is created to convey a different side for the tragic time in history, an ordinary businessman. This businessman, Oskar Schindler, wants to prove that there will be hope in this desperate time. However, the motive behind Night is different. In Night, the author Elie Wiesel aims to describe his experiences in the Holocaust to avoid the past from reoccurring. Hence, Night is more effective in demonstrating Holocaust education through characterization. As the characters undergo changes in the novel, the goal of the author is attained.

The Holocaust which took placed during the 1930s and the 1940s was a horrible time for millions of people because Jews and people are treated during their deportation. Many people were killed and burned...babies and adults.Some were threw in flames, All that was left was a shape that resembled me by reading it. In the barracks, the Jews are stripped and shaved, disinfected with gasoline, showered, and clothed in prison forms. They are lectured by a Nazi officer and told that they have two options: hard work or the crematorium. When Eliezer Wiesel’s father asks for the bathroom, he is beaten by the Kapo. A Kapo is a head prisoner: that is in charge of the other inmates. Eliezer is appalled at his own failure to defend his father from

The sun was kissing the horizon; the day was just beginning, and the sweet sounds of the birds morning sound had awakened me. I was sitting in the same spot I do day after day, happy and well rested. I awoke from my peaceful slumber with a large, clanging chime that echoed off the walls and the roof. The sounds of footsteps stomped down the stairs, and there, as always, was Todd. And as he always does, he shuffled his way to the kitchen and turned on the coffee. Finally, as the aroma of burnt coffee grounds filled the air, a new day had begun.

It was July of the year 1965, and I was experiencing the hottest summer of my life. The temperature rose to about 105 degrees and it wasn’t going lower any time soon. Although it was hot, my town of Mayfield was far out as any other town in the county. The grass was bright green, the trees and flowers were blooming with colors and overall added a nice vibe to the day. This sure was nicer than the cold winters that I had to live with during the earlier years of my life. The north snow always put me in a gloomy mood and it made me bummer around my friends, making me a unbearable to be around. So since we moved from the north to the south, we hardly have winters which was really boss.

“Good morning!” Ray said to his coworkers while walking into the office. “Morning Ray.” Many replied. Ray’s tall slender figure towered over his desk as he looked down on a ton of files. He grabbed his coffee, then got to work.

The thousand and one nights offered an interesting prospective on the roles of women in the Muslim culture at the time. The woman in the tale ranges from wives, concubines, slave-girls, and even demon-woman, but all of them even the educated and wise Shahrazad is expected to have very little say and their lives are for the most part subject to the whims their husbands and fathers. One could even say that in the society set up in the story their very existence are meant to be that of a trinket, to be looked at not heard and seen as a show of a man’s strength and power. Every time the story speaks of a man with power and success there are mentions of a slave girl or mistress “once there was a merchant who had abundant wealth and investments …….he had many women and children and kept servants and slaves…”.the male sexuality is seen as natural and expected, but whenever a female tries to express her sexuality or independence she is looked down on even if she is the victim in the situation like the demons prisoner.

A bright sunshine spanning across the long horizon awakens all with open shutters. I awoke with the birds chirping in my ears, a bright shining yellow beam of light glistened the black dark sheets of which covered me during the ice-cold night, not as though they did much for warmth, during the coldest night of which I rest within these doors, shutters slammed back and forth awakening me from my rest, the dark night crept into the room with its unwanted cold breeze alongside with it. The icy, bitter wind pierced through the bed sheets like a pin through a leaf leaving a sharp numbing sensation through my body. Although a horrible night, a beautiful morning. I stood up and walked over to the rugged light brown window ledge and looked in wonder

On my 7th birthday, my least favorite uncle gave me a book titled Alibaba and the Forty Thieves. I was surprised because he is my least favorite uncle for a reason, he doesn’t just surprise you with a gift for no reason at all. Little did I know, he just succeeded in getting me to do exactly what I said I wasn’t going to do all summer long, READ ANYTHING! He knows how much I love the Arabian night’s stories and he used this knowledge to get me to change my initial decision of not reading any book during the summer. So failure to recognize the strength in others makes us blind to our own weaknesses. In the One Thousand and One Nights text, some of its characters experience changes due to the fact that they failed to recognize the strength and abilities or capabilities of other opposing characters.
