It was three o’clock in the morning. Outside the window, the sky was still dark. There were barely any stars in the sky, and no cloud cluttered. The sky was painfully dark and motionless. Except for the faint light from the moon, everything seems lifeless. In a dark room, there was a girl sitting up on the bed, leaning on the wall beside her. She was looking out the window. Through the window, the girl can see the sky and the top of some buildings, however, nothing special or attractive. But, the
Obstacles to Overcome and Mistakes to Forgive It is fascinating when two people from completely different backgrounds have common characteristics. A world of poverty is depicted in Liz Murray’s book Breaking Night (2010). The memoir tells the struggles of a young girl’s journey from living on the city streets to attending one of the top schools in the country. Although our lives are quite different, Liz Murray and I show similar traits through struggle and success. Murray must over come many
eyebrow twitching at a fast rate. Before I can speak, or even have a breath, I’m thrown off the bed. His strong arms that were just embracing me, attached to the body I had been sputtering compliments about nonstop, are quick to push me straight off the bed. Looks like I was a little right about the violent trait. Damn, should’ve ran away. My side hits the floor so hard, it takes the breath out of me to scream. I clutch at my side, biting my lip and squinting as my forehead wrinkled. Ow! Bouncing
devastation and pain that was caused by the Nazis; however when inspecting the holocaust on a deeper level, it is evident that the Jews were exposed to unimaginable treatment and experimentation often overlooked in history discussions. When looking at “Night”, Elie Wiesel was helped by the doctors in the camp when his foot was severely infected; although this is not the experience he had, many Jews were mistreated and even killed by the doctors. Many Nazi doctors that were assigned to Jewish patients were
As I stepped inside the ticket to my destination, thoughts of the island began to occupy my mind; the positive views overshadowing the unwelcome negatives. It was awfully hard for me to contemplate of the miserable things about the Isle of Man, when for all my life I've been surrounded with favourable opinions of it. Along the way, the sunrise outside the tiny window seemed to expect my visit. The feeling of gladness inside my stomach leapt in excitement, just as I gazed down at the island beneath

Night is a novel written from the perspective of a Jewish teenager, about his experiences as a prisoner during the Holocaust. Our teenager named Eliezer grew up in the small community of Sighet, located in Hungarian Transylvania. It’s here that Eliezer studies religion, both the Cabbala and the Torah. At the beginning of the war Eliezer was dedicated and absolute in his belief of God, but throughout the events of World War II his faith slowly starts to wither away. Eliezer's main conflict that governs
The tragedies of the holocaust forever altered history. One of the most detailed accounts of the horrific events from the Nazi regime comes from Elie Wiesel’s Night. He describes his traumatic experiences in German concentration camps, mainly Buchenwald, and engages his readers from a victim’s point of view. He bravely shares the grotesque visions that are permanently ingrained in his mind. His autobiography gives readers vivid, unforgettable, and shocking images of the past. It is beneficial that
Friday night lights. The nights that everyone looks forward to. The nights that everyone spends hanging out with their friends. The nights that everyone comes to root for our team whether we're winning or losing. Or if you're me, you spend your night as a JV cheerleader. Not on the field cheering for the War Eagles, but walking up and down the stadiums screaming, "SNOWCONES!! ONE DOLLAR!" It isn't what I'd prefer to do but it's better than spending those few hours being at home. The place where
crying. I help her inside, and ask her if she was okay. Nothing, she didn’t even open her mouth to speak. I decided to just let her sleep, but I was still in the other room thinking of why she would not speak to me. She was as quiet as a graveyard at night. I finally dozed off to a terrible nightmare. The whole world was dead silent. I tried to speak I couldn’t get any words out. On the other side of me was a woman
