The night is brisk and even with the thick suede jacket pulled over the man’s shoulders he is still freezing. He should mind the frozen temperatures, but he doesn’t because he has just won a vast amount of money off a bet. Money that he can spend on luxuries that he doesn’t need but believes he deserves. He smiles to himself, walking along the cold roads. Occasionally passersby will bump into him and cautious to pickpockets, he pats the pocket that holds the thick envelope of money. Maybe he’ll stop by a restaurant along the shore to treat himself. A boy, about seventeen is walking towards him and the man eyes him wearily fully aware of what the adolescence in this part of town was capable of, clutching the jacket’s pocket that shields the money from sight tightly as the boy gently brushes past the man. Content feeling his prize still in his pocket, the man proceeds with his triumphant stride down the road.
Maybe I’ll just take a quick peek he decided sliding the thick envelope out of his suede coat. But inside the envelope there is not the flattened roll of dollars he had won off of his fellow peers but the rough parchment of a note.
Startled, confused and getting angry, he unfolded the note. Inside the fold were two words scrawled neatly in blue ink: Behind you. The man, furious now and still startled at his lost, whips around. Walking off and just turning into the alley was the boy that had brushed past him, black hoodie pulled up consuming his face with a shadow.

In the book Night by Elie Wiesel it says “human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere.” This shows that the world’s problems are everyone’s problems. Everyone has their own responsibilities and when war occurs people tend to take on more responsibility than ever before. The United States is a prime example of making the world’s problems their own.
Ready Player One hits some of the same situations as in the holocaust or for the book that we read “Night” like taking people spread out over a good area and combining them into a small dense area. They both also touch on the topic of how when someone is killed or something is blown up now one raises an eyebrow or if they do no one does anything about it.
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
Joshua Graham once said, “I survive because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.” The honored novel, Night by: Elie Wiesel is a fantastically well composed novel conveying the horrors and, survivors of the famous Holocaust. This novel tells of the experience of Elie and his father’s journey through the period of time known as, the holocaust. All Jews were thrown out of their homes and brought to the concentration camps starting in 1933. Elie went through all three of the “ worst” concentration camps, while struggling with some of rough aspects of camp. Eliezer was torn from his mother and siblings at the beginning, then he had to go the industrious work from the labor camps. In the end Elie’s father did not survive the concentration camps so Eliezer ended up alone. These tragic events tore Elie from his former religious kind self, and made him a rough, almost non existent shell of his former self.
“Night” is a book based on the childhood of the writer Elie Wiesel and his experience during Nazi-Germany. He writes about his experiences from 1944-1945 the height and downfall of the second World War.
The novel Night is an autobiography of Elie Wiesel of his life in a concentration camp. During World War II, anti-Semitism spread in Europe and people like Hitler and his Nazi army started targeting all sorts of Jews, believing them to be “lesser beings”. The Nazis forced the Jews from their homes and into ghettos to isolate them and then deported them to concentration camps. In these Nazi concentration camps, beatings and hangings were common as the SS officers tried to make an example out of the misbehaving prisoners.
The book Night written by Ellie Wiesel is an autobiography about his experiences during the holocaust in 1944. He is a survivor and was only 12 at the time. Ellie had three sisters named Hilda, Bea and Tzipora. His parents ran a store in Transylvania where Ellie spent most of his childhood in. Ellie 's mentor who everyone referred to as Moishe the Beadle is poor men who taught and helped Ellie study the cabbala. Early in the war, Moishe was expelled from Sighet as well as all the other foreign Jews. A few months after, everything was back to normal for Ellie and everyone else. His teacher, Moishe the Beadle then returns from his near death experience and warns everyone that the Nazi will soon come after them. No one really listened to him and did not believe that stories he told or didn’t want to believe them. Soon after this, the anti-Semitic Measures had the entire Sighet Jews move into ghettos that were supervised. With everyone living in fear, the Wiesel family remained calm and did not complain once.
The Jewish Holocaust was a traumatic event that took place from the early 1930s to the mid 1940s. During the Holocaust, the Germans believed that they had racial authority among other civilians. Under the rule of Adolf Hitler, the NAZIs targeted Jews and other groups due to their perceived "racial inferiority". For instance, they persecuted Jews, Gypsies, Elderly, Mentally Disabled, and Homosexuals (etc.) because they believed that they did not portray the behavior of the so-called “social norms”. They were sent to concentration camps and killing camps, to be starved or even beaten to death. This was the cause of death of approximately 6,000,000 Jews. The actions that the Germans took against these innocent people were inhuman. The book,

Then Jackson pulled two pieces of paper, along with a pencil out of his pocket and did two rubbing of his brother’s name before returning the items to his pocket, he intended to do something with them later once they reached the
After reading the book “Night” I wanted to know why people try to put others down to make them feel better about themselves. I’m writing this paper because I don’t like that people are stereotypical and racist. This topic doesn’t really interest me, it just makes me curious as to why people are like this. Did something happen to them to make them hate on others? Are they just like that? Reading about the holocaust and how they were treated really made me want to why people treat others like that. In “Night” all the prisoners are treated as if they aren’t human, they’re treated like animals and I don’t know why the officers try to dehumanize them for their race but it is really sad. The prisoners had to run miles after not eating for
Not believing a word he said, I immediately recognized the ruled line pages, which match the ruled lines of the notes we received. I started to argue with Carl about there being a connection with our “threats” and the charred notebook. Carl insisted that it was
He handed me the note. “You may find yourself in a state of amnesia. Don’t fret a young lady shall help you. She should be around your area in an isolated alley. She will help you solve your amnesia problem but in return you should help her.” The note had the same hand writing as the one I received. From the person who graciously invited me to solve this murder.
They continued to talk when the two men hurled off the dead woman’s body between them. After searching the body, they discovered a envelope in the coat of the woman. The note
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.
