Before I could tell her the hotel was alcohol-free room started to change and shift. I thought I was under attack by a mob of wild dressed people, but they were in place. I then came to and I was standing in the middle of a huge party. I did not know what to do. I asked questions to many of people about where I was and what's going on but the people looked at me with laughter because of the drinks. I started to calm down and a waiter handed me a fancy glass filled to the brim. The same woman came to me singing and dancing. She grabbed my arm and pulled me to a group of people who were talking in an aggressive yet curious way. “He's a bootlegger I tell you,” said one. The other responded “but a man with this much secrecy must have …show more content…
“Go on,” he said. So I went to my room and got some fancy dress things and came but out.“Good…you still have lots to learn, but for now, let's have some fun.” The room shifted. Months had passed and also my lessons. I've learned to dress to impress, tall and confident posture, when and how to speak and much more. I did not understand at the time why these people were showing me these lessons nor when I would apply them. Once we were done with our lessons the room would change and we would be at a big party. I had to admit that the parties were fun. There were fireworks every thirty seconds and there were many different people to meet. Everyone had a similar conversation talking about a man who made this castle of a house. One said that it was so big that it could be easily be turned into a big five-star hotel. When I wasn't at the party's or taking weird lessons I was either running the hotel or doing some research on the hotel, the man, and the woman. So far I only got some information on the hotel. The hotel was once the “Chelsea Hotel” and it had a reputation of some haunting in the past. The Hotel had many owners before due to bankruptcy and the owners were deceased. I had to try and figure out why are these ghosts haunting this hotel and why are they only showing up for me. All the guests in the hotel never complained nor said anything about strange things in the room, ghost wise. This made me more curious
The theme of indifference is present in Elie Wiesel’s Night, as well as in the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Both the book and the movie are about the Holocaust, a horrific event in which the genocide of the Jewish people was carried out. Night is a memoir that focuses on the life of a Jewish boy, Elie Wiesel, who is deported from his home to a concentration camp. He is separated from his mother and sisters and endures many hardships with his father, as they move from camp to camp. The movie, on the other hand, focuses on the life of a German boy who has a father high up in the ranks of the Nazi party. As a result, he lives near a concentration camp. He makes friends with a Jewish boy in the camps, but gets into the camp and unwillingly dies. These two sources have
these people with their lives and the lives of their loved ones, the Jews were “persuaded”
Individuality is the supreme catalyst that guides people to feel self-worth and become emboldened in their pursuits. It is the mentality that gives humans clarity and uniqueness that make the world interesting. It is what allows each person to be respected in his/her own way. In the stories Night and Persepolis, the motif of individuality is emphatically expressed. It is portrayed as essential to the hope of the masses. When individuality is suppressed people lose virtues/self respect/humanity, motivation/will to live and faith. In essence, they give up the idea of anything else except their suffering. As thousands die, the protagonists (of Night and Persepolis)
In the book “Night” Elie undergoes many spiritual journeys that explains his views on life. The most noticeable spiritual journey is Elies travel from Buna to Buchenwald by his experiences at the last night in Buna, the forever march, and the final train ride.
The perception of excessive force has been intensely debated for the last few decades. With continuous public defiance increasing, instances of police brutality are rising at an exponential rate. However, the accessibility to social media has greatly increased as well, therefore, causing us to become more aware of such situations. With that considered, the increased amount of police beatings is far less than what may be perceived. Frequently occurrences of police brutality are brought to our attention through the media. Often times, broadcasting very graphic, and sometimes unlawful situations. Several people may say that discrimination against particular ethnicities may be the main cause of this recent influx. Though, others may believe that subsequent social disparities towards specific ethnicities may cause frustration, consequently, causing law enforcement officers to use unnecessary excessive force, more frequently.
One of the main themes throughout the book is the title of the book “Night”. There are references from Eliezer about night during the book, which are full of symbolism. The word “night” is used repeatedly, and Eliezer recounts every dusk, night and dawn through the entire book. For instance, Night could be a metaphor for the Holocaust—submerge the family and thousands of Jewish families in the darkness and misery of the concentration camps.
People say change is a common thing. In most cases, you only change in small ways. For the victims of the Holocaust, they went in and came out as a different person. The ending result for Elie Wiesel would change his life forever. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, the main character, Elie, was transformed throughout the book because of his experience in Auschwitz.
Almost anyone in society can clarify that they have experienced depression or some type of isolation at one period in their life. It is true that experiencing such darkness causes a person to feel lonely and disconnected from the world. This can be portrayed in "Acquainted with the Night" by Robert Frost. In this poem Frost is walking in the city, at night, and in the rain all while discussing how he is acquainted with the night. The interpretation of this poem can be literal in that Frost is used to walking during the night, but it also proposes a deeper understanding.
Night terrors also known as Pavor Nocturnus can be a scary thing to experience, but they can happen to anyone no matter what age, race, sex, or religion you may be. This disorder loves everyone! But not everyone is aware of this disorder and how severe it can affect someone's life. So in this paper, I am going to shine some light on the situation. I am going to talk about what night terrors are, who is affected by them, what causes them, night terrors in children, night terrors in adults, the symptoms, and how they can be treated.
As my first year of high school as a freshman finally comes to an end, I cannot hide the feeling of excitement when I hear the word summer. Like previous years of my life, I would not finish the school year to my best ability. Although, I would not be rewarding myself and representing my progress and learning of a student if I did not write this final essay. I am proud to say that this essay will reflect my growth of an intellectual, kind, and curious figure. I would not have been able to develop without the helpful hand of the characters I analyzed and connected to in the novels I read throughout the school year. Elie Wiesel from the novel Night and Judy Boone from the novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time taught me how the way people respond to conflict shapes who they become.
Night by Elie Wiesel was one of the best books I have ever read. Night is the story about Elie’s horrible time spent in Auschwitz and Buna the death camps. This story impacted me the most because all of this is real. Elie’s mother and sister were murdered as soon as they arrived. The story goes on telling his unimaginable experiences with his father in 1944 during the Holocaust.
Two years prior to this day, we started what now has become a tradition. Every year for Madi’s birthday, October 25th, we’d stay at Fortune Bay. This year was no different. She had invited me, Cali, Morgan, Hannah, and Chandra. Her party was Saturday and had continued until Sunday night. Due to it being a Sunday night, school was the next morning. Therefore, some of the girls had to leave earlier in the day or that night.
It is a dark night with thunder roaring with its horrific sound. I find myself waking up in a beautiful old mansion. The house is adorned by many decorative pieces such as china, portrait pictures and hunting trophies. As I wandering around the mansion, I begin to realize how spacious and unctuous this mansion is. The hall is incredibly long and many rooms are connected by secret passages and doors. I continue walking through the hall until I stopped at the library when I notice somebody is in the room. Sitting in the arm chair is a girl, around my age, looking aimlessly at the fireplace. Judging the look of her face, I see that the girl is not disturbed by my presence. I say hello to the girl but she does not reply.
Finally, I saw the first sign that showed the word "vacancy". This place looked considerably nice. When my dad stepped out of the van to go check in to the hotel, two police cars drove up with their sirens screaming and lights flashing. Dazed and confused, I was trying to figure out what the commotion was. Then I noticed a man lying on the side of the highway next to the curb. The two police officers got him to his feet and helped him stagger to the back seat of the police car. He obviously had too much to drink. With the blink of an eye, the police officers were gone and my dad was back in the van in less than 30 seconds. Needless to say, we were not going to stay there so we were off to the next town.
What is it like to spend a night in the forest. This is relevant because Draper and I have spent a night in a forest before. The night was cold and tough to go through all though I had a sleeping bag. It was creepy I could hear things creaking in the distance. I also had to walk outside of the tent to use the bathroom, or get food out of the cooler. The night ended up being terrible.
