Animal Farm And Night By Elie Wiesel

Night is an account of the Holocaust and persecution of the Jewish people, written by Elie Wiesel. Elie Wiesel wrote, “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky” (Night). Remembering the events of the Holocaust and the atrocities that occurred are a major theme of the book . The events of the Holocaust were unforgettable to Elie Wiesel and even on the first day, he saw children being burned. Throughout the book this is not the only atrocity that he saw.

In a Concentration Camp survival was next to impossible. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie is a survivor of the holocaust who doesn’t have much of a relationship with his father. He has always felt that he was never important to his father and that his father cared more about the community than his own family. When Eliezer and his father are forced to count on each other, it’s a slow process for them to finally have a father-son relationship. Without each other they wouldn’t have survived for as long as they did and Eliezer would have lost all hope. A major theme in this story is how Eliezer and his father come together and build a relationship amidst their circumstances.

One of my favorite books I have ever read was Night by Elie Wiesel. In the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel tells a horrific tale of a Jewish teenager’s experiences in the Holocaust. This story takes place in Germany at several different concentration camps, one being Auschwitz. Throughout this heart wrenching story, Elie Wiesel falls victim to one of the millions of Jews getting taken from their home and out into camps during the Holocaust. The book Night has a title which symbolizes death. The novel has a theme of family; a lot of people take for granted their family and the ties between them. In the book, the character Elie matures from a young teenager into a strong man with many qualities, including being a brave, loyal,

The memoir Night by Elie Wiesel and the allegorical novella Animal Farm by George Orwell have both rightfully earned the many reactions and views the readers have towards the descriptions and recollections written within these classics. Least to say, both are deep and invoke strong sentimental reactions towards what you learn from them. Though many differences show themselves in the books, such as how Animal Farm is more about the events leading up to and during the Russian Revolution while Night is leaning more towards the horrendous events that happened during the Second World War, many similarities also make an appearance. For example, the Jews in Sighet were, for the most part, hopeful and were in denial of what was happening around them throughout the range of events. Also, at the end of each story, there were identification issues, for lack of better term, with the characters.

Written response to a prompt- a statement about the theme which you are required to “break open” in your response.

To Be Human. To Live Human. To Die Human. Many will sweep through their days overwhelmed by their struggles in the world without appreciating the simple instances of life. For instance, when you need water, you can simply turn on the faucet and receive clean, purified water in a mere second.

In Night by Elie Wiesel, the author reflects on his own experience of being separated from his family and eventually his own religion. This separation was not by any means voluntary, they were forced apart during the Holocaust. Wiesel was a Jew when the invasion of Hungary occurred and the Germans ripped members of his religion away from their home in Sighet. A once peaceful community where Wiesel learned to love the Kabbalah was now home to only dust and lost memories. Most members of that Jewish community were never to return, hell greeted them with open arms as they walked through the now rusty gates of Auschwitz. In order to survive unimaginable circumstances that were enforced in these camps, a boy had to hang on to his humanity. But by no means did humanity stay with the boy, being subjected to the horror of concentration camps, Auschwitz and Buchenwald, Elie Wiesel saw first-hand how members of other communities attempt to silence opposing voices. All of the pain that Wiesel saw inspired him to keep watch and tell stories for people who wouldn’t live on to tell them for their own families. Stories are what keeps a person alive and through Eliezer’s words that he puts down many are able to get a sense of closure in knowing what occurred at these camps. One story occurred on the first train ride away from home, a lady named Madame Schächter was beaten up for crying out against imminent death, unseen by others.

It was in Auschwitz during 1944, at the time of arrival about midnight when the smell of burning flesh saturated the air. There was an unimaginable nightmare of a truck unloading small children and babies thrown into the flames. However, this is only one event in this entire tragedy of events to be remembered in order to understand how deeply literal and symbolic the book entitled Night by Elie Wiesel is. The novel brings light to the reader about what the Jews faced while in the fire, hell and night; nonetheless, the author portrays each and every day during this year as a night in hell of conflagration. "Were this conflagration to be extinguished one day, nothing would be left in the sky but extinct stars and unseeing eyes." (Wiesel 20). When Wiesel arrived at the camp he counted the longest dreadful ten steps of his life; he realized that his nightmare has just become unimaginable.

Sometimes when I’m home alone with my younger siblings, I yell at them and threaten to hurt them if they annoy and distract me. Usually, I do this because I’m in charge and I know I won’t get in trouble for it and because I have work to do and I don’t want to get in trouble for not doing it. Similarly, some police (mostly white) abuse their position by shooting people when they think they are in danger. Night by Elie Wiesel is a memoir of the Holocaust and Lord of the Flies is a novel by William Golding. Both texts show that humans can hurt others to save themselves and power corrupts us as human beings.

Elie Wiesel 's Night chronicles his experience surviving in a concentration camp. He, along with every other Jew in his town, and many more throughout Europe, were sent to concentration camps for no fault of their own. Hitler, the fascist dictator of Germany and most of Europe, hated them because of their religion. He considered them a separate, inferior race and created the concentration camps to kill them all. Elie lost his mother, little sister, father, and nearly everyone he knew to these factories of death.

The ninety-five page novella, Animal Farm, written by George Orwell. Aimed at teenagers and adults, it cleverly shows the flaws within society and how we will never change. This timeless classic was converted into an hour and ten minute long film (in 1954) which is suitable and supposedly appealing to young children.

1) The pigs make all decisions for the farm during private meetings lead by Napoleon and afterwards communicate their decisions to the others.

“All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.” In George Orwell’s novel, Animal Farm, farm animals drive out their farmer and live in an environment where all animals are equal. However, the pigs, the smartest animals on the farm, end up taking over the farm and controlling all the animals. They trick the animals into believing they are doing everything for the benefit of the farm, when in reality they are doing it for themselves. The famous quote mentioned in this novel not only explains a scene in the book; it also shows the Orwell’s true purpose for writing the story: his hatred towards communism and Stalin’s rule. An author shows his or her purpose through the text’s hidden meanings, the structure of the text, the sequence of events, and the diction of the text.

The question, “Who is at fault?” is one asked many times throughout history. It can be put into many scenarios, like this one, where it is questioned whether the pigs or the animals are at fault for the dystopian characteristics on Animal Farm. Animal Farm by George Orwell is a political satire of Communist Russia, the pigs acting as the government and the animals acting as the citizens. The pigs pushed the animals into following them using fear, force, and made-up statistics, and also by telling them that if they didn’t do as they say, Jones or Snowball would return. Also, the sheep were manipulated to constantly bleat “Four legs good, two legs bad!” (Orwell 29) whenever the other animals were in doubt. Finally, the pigs used the faith

Life is grief when the goal we are striving toward suddenly crush, and our weakness and frailty lead us to have no hope to get any result from the long period of time working. We always say to people, do not let anyone get you down, but in real life, people get easily depressed because they did not achieve their goals. In Animal Farm, Orwell gives a picture of those hardworking animals work for the windmill. They pinch and screw in order to save more outlay for building the windmill. However, the windmill is destroyed by human. And this pain is known only by those real trier. There is no guarantee of outcomes for those animals to work hard for the windmills. Orwell alludes the audience that human weakness to be unable to secure favorable outcomes. Since animals did not gain the outcome they expected to get, one of the strongest worker, Boxer is very grieved and angry about human so that he stands up for all of the animals. Boxer yelled to Squealer, “But they have destroyed the windmill. And we had worked on it for two years!”(Orwell 105) Boxer is despairing about the destruction of the windmill. He has worked it for two years, but it is destroyed in one second. “Two years” is a long period of working time. Day after day those animals wait for the outcome of this windmill. One of the frailties of human nature is laziness. Even though these animals beat laziness, the outcome is still not what they want, and this is indeed sorrowful. The even sorrowful thing is that Squealer,
