Inhumanity. The cruelest of people are responsible for this. In Night, Elie Wiesel uses imagery, tone, and characterization to show the effects of inhumane actions.

To begin with, both novels show very strong themes of prejudice throughout. Night begins with the Elie Wiesel’s account of what it was like to live through Hitler’s final solution to rid Europe of the Jewish population. He remembers what it was like to be a young man living in Sighet, Transylvania when the Nazis moved in, and forced him out of his home to concentration camps where many people were killed in the crematoria upon arrival.

Before Night Falls tells the story of Reinaldo Arenas, a Cuban writer who suffered for many years and dealt with tragic circumstances all throughout his life. Living during Fidel Castro’s harsh regime as a homosexual male led to several years of torture, for he was imprisoned, but ultimately set free. Additionally, his writing was bold and went against everything that Castro represented, and he took extreme risks to get his work published in other countries. The world heard the prolific voice of Arenas, while the Cuban government, his fellow writers, and even his lovers tried to silence him. Arenas was an extremely important figure in Latin culture. This is not simply because his work was profound; his life gives us a deeper look at the difficulties of struggling with homosexuality, masculinity, and finding freedom. He embodies resilience, charisma, determination, and at the same time fragility, weakness and pain.

Night is a memoir written by Elie Wiesel on his experiences from the Holocaust. Throughout the novel, there was a constant underlying theme, of the dehumanization of the Jews. The Nazis wanted to strip the Jews of their identity and their humanity, and they widely succeeded. The Nazis took away all the Jews’ possessions, cut their hair off, made them all wear identical clothes, treated them like wild animals, and reduced them into numbers instead of humans. Living in this kind of environment and being treated in this manner could turn any sane person insane. It can turn any compassionate and empathetic person, into an uncaring and cold person. The effects of the Nazis treatment of the Jews were that the Jewish prisoners became emotionally attached

In a summary written by Out in SA, author John Green analyzes and explains why Sex as Political Condition is a book that will make you “read some passages aloud to your friends to make them laugh, and others to piss them off. Any book that can do both is worthwhile as they come.” This border novel is narrated by its protagonist, Honore, a former drug trafficker and a maracas enthusiast, who is afraid of dying in front of a TV like a pendejo. His fear of dying in front of a TV is so strong that it leads him to help out his friend Juan Sanchez Trusky (a.k.a. Trotsky), a war veteran, to try and “dispel his past and help a Guatemalan people’s revolt” or, in other words, help him “get off his ass and work for the greater good”. Comparatively, as

Out in the night is a documentary about how much are the gay people oppressed, and the society is not accepting them, therefore they are struggling to get accepted, and gain their proper place in the society. And the main problem in the documentary is the assault of a man on a group of lesbians in New York, so they get arrested for trying to protect and defending themselves, and their struggle to get freedom.

During an interview in 1983, printed in the New Yorker just last year, Reinaldo Arenas was asked, “Does a writer have a duty to himself and to society?” Arenas replies that it is indeed the job of the writer to write their best, but defines that as “when a writer writes, he’s always referring to a social and historical context.” Arenas was a Cuban writer, exiled for being openly homosexual and rebelling against the Cuban government through his written works. He was also very autobiographical in his work, and as it would appear in his New Yorker interview, this is where his passion and writing flourished. Reinaldo Arenas used his own marginalized voice as openly homosexual man in Cuba and commentary on Castro’s regime to challenge the

Before Night Falls, directed by well-known visual artist Julian Schnabel, inventively portrays the life of Cuban poet, playwright, and prose writer Reinaldo Arenas.

In The Vanishing, the movie starts out with the main antagonist, Barney, working out all the kinks in his plan to abduct a woman. The audience learns later in the movie that he only wishes to do this so he can prove to both himself and his daughter that he deserves to be looked up to as a god, all because he saved a drowning child. Barney is portrayed to be mentally ill, at least to the American public. The 1993 English movie, compared to the Dutch movie released in 1988, had made Barney out to be more psychology unstable, and had given him an unknown accent, or speech impediment. It could be due to the difference in actors, but the actor himself, Jeff Bridges, doesn't seem to have Barney's speech issues anywhere outside of the role. It seems,

Watching “The Man Who Fell to Earth” gave me a familiar feeling upon first viewing. I was taken back to a time when a friend of mine, who is deep in knowledge of the cinematic medium, criticized “Pulp Fiction” stating that it was a shameless and terrible carbon copy of “Breathless”, Jean-Luc Godard’s medium redefining film released in 1960. I proceeded to watch “Breathless” and caught a drift for what he was talking about along with a growing intrigue within myself for the French New Wave. Upon viewing “The Man Who Fell to Earth”, I was taken back to “Breathless” and the techniques and concepts exhibited throughout that film and I understood why Breathless was such an inspirational film during it’s time, as elements of Breathless and the French

Chiron as a teenager is still frighten and being bullied in high school. He still has a motherlike relationship with Teresa who gives him encouraging words.
