Old Men Monologue

The rain had just stopped pouring, and we had all gathered in a park nearby, as a makeshift memorial for Johnny. It wasn’t really a funeral, we didn’t have the budget for that, and it wasn’t like his parents cared enough to give him a proper goodbye.

Everyday men and women die in the most brutal way possible away from their family either killed from gun shots or landmines and they do come back. But in caskets, as images like these emphasize the destruction of war and these snaps just show the side effects of humankind's worse anger being shown. In the Article “The Stranger in the Photo Is Me”, Donald M. Murray expresses how harsh it really was in the war and how it changed himself forever and not in a good way. Not to mention, that he describes the way he felt ready to go to war, maybe even excited, but he wishes that horror on no one “I would not wish for a child or grandchild of mine to undergo the blood test of war” as the sacrifice these men and women go through is undeniably tremendous

Hello i'm a psychiatric for the suspect that killed the old man because of his evil eye. I first met him after he did the murder and he felt sorry and guilty. Therefore he was sentenced to life in prison for a first degree murder. Im here to help him so he wouldn't get into other trouble. I came to talk to him and he said he was sorry for what he did and how he wished to turn things back to normal.

The theme that a person should be mindful of the outcomes of his/her actions is supplemented by the symbolism implemented into the story by the author. The photograph of the wife of the American soldier is written about as if it is truly her, as a cognizant being. While looking at the photo, the main character notices the shape in which it was cut. He sees that the edge of the photo is very close to the woman’s arm at one point, but shifts its direction to not damage the subject of the picture. “I speak of the edge as if it created itself. It is of course the man who made the cut, who was careful not to lose even the thinnest slice of the image of this woman he clearly loved” (Butler 30). The

Finally, one passage in which the reader can feel like they are at the camp because of imagery is when during the alert, a man is brave enough to try and get an extra ration of soup. Everyone in the camp was ordered to go to their barracks and stay

Millions of people were killed during the Holocaust. They suffered from diseases and starvation, labored to death, and murdered in concentration camps. In experiencing the terrors of the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel describes his dreadful experiences as a Jewish boy under Nazi control. Everybody goes through situations and experiences that affect them in some way, perhaps even change them. This intense story not only indicates the horror of the concentration camp experience; it shows many important examples of literary devices and reveals certain themes of the excerpt. The way Wiesel uses these devices and themes help create an overwhelming effect on the story. Wiesel talked about the camp using pathos to express how their lives were full of darkness. There were many quotes that gave readers a sense of sympathy. For instance, the quote “I witnessed other hangings. I never saw a single victim weep. For a long time, those dried-up bodies had long forgotten the bitter taste of tears” (572). This particular quote shows that they were hopeless about everything and their lives were never getting better. The way Wiesel specifies this emotional feeling is definitely the strongest, without a doubt. It appears to be practically unreasonable for a reader not to cry about the way Wiesel describes the things he goes through.

“One day when I was able to get up, I decided to look at myself in the mirror on the opposite wall. I had not seen myself since the ghetto. From the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me. The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me,” (pg. 115, Wiesel). The author’s message is revealing how someone should be able to overcome their struggles if they truly have confidence in themselves. Being that almost everyone goes through struggles at least once a day, the message about looking pass through the obstacles that seem really hard by thinking that it is achievable. It connects to everyone because of how people go through hardships in their life time varying in their age drawing out the conclusion that everything is achievable if only you believe that it is possible to do.

Through showing the dark and devastating experiences of the Jews during the holocaust, the emotional appeal the reader experiences is increased. As Anthony Acevedo describes, “... his fellow soldiers beaten, starved, and in some cases executed for trying to escape. Forced to dig tunnels for 12 hours a day in the final weeks of the war, the prisoners were given 100 grams of bread per week and soup made from rats.” (1). While Wiesel in a speech said, “When adults wage war, children perish. We see their faces, their eyes. Do we hear their pleas? Do we feel their pain, their agony? Every minute one of them dies…” (217). Through implementing the theme of inhumanity into an emotional appeal, Elie Wiesel allows the reader to feel as though they were in that situation in a diminished manner. The following quotes, exhibits the theme of inhumanity through the use of different punishment methods against prisoners and the effects.

She like to fuck me, suck me, suck then fuck me I'm the ice cream man, she chunky monkey She like to fuck me, suck me, suck then fuck me I'm the ice cream man, she chunky monkey She like to twirly swirly, in my vanilla coupe She like my sugar cone seats I just

For the following task I have chosen to use an image and a poem. A key narrative that surrounds the holocaust is silence. Silence is demonstrated in different forms through losses of family, tragedy and other several aspects that have had a negative effect in our lives. When referring to the Holocaust where Adolf Hitler was appointed German chancellor, not only did he separate the family bond and religion, he provided harsh treatment and conditions which many children had to suffer from watching. In the following image that has been chosen, the way in which silence is connected to this photograph is the facial expressions indicated by the children. The mouths of the children are closed with faces of pity and brooding as they are worried and

Thornton Wilder, a Wisconsin native, is the writer of the Pulitzer Prize winner play Our Town. In Our Town, Wilder tells the story of a town in Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, and the daily lives of the inhabitants. In the play, the author uses minimal props and scenery as well as including a main character known as the Stage Manager that has the ability to break the fourth wall, allowing him to talk to the audience. This factor of talking to the audience is a major component of making the public a part of the town. Throughout the play, there are many instances in which the Stage Manager uses various cues as well as dialogues to incorporate the audience and develop an intimate relationship to create a true sense of “our town”.

Elie Wiesel’s use of imagery in the memoir helps convey the horrific conditions and sights that Wiesel was exposed to. In the following sentence, “The stones were so cold that touching them, we felt that our hands would remain stuck. But we got used to that too.” (Wiesel 78). Elie Wiesel’s use of imagery in the previous quote appeals to the reader's sense of touch and feeling. Wiesel’s descriptions help the reader visualize the harsh, freezing temperatures that he and his fellow Jews had to withstand. In chapter four of the book, Wiesel says, “Hundreds of eyes followed his movements. Hundreds of men crawled with him, scraping their knees with his on the gravel. Every heart trembled, but with envy above all. This man had dared.” (Wiesel 59). In the previous quote, nearly all of the readers senses are employed. The reader is able to visualize the man wriggling across the ground to get to the cauldron of soup. The reader can imagine the man scraping his knees across the ground with hundreds of Jews watching him closely, wondering what will happen. The reader can feel their heartbeat trembling in their chest and they can hear the beat pounding in their ears. He makes the reader feel as if they are actually living in the moment of the story. Elie Wiesel is masterful in his use of imagery throughout the memoir Night. He makes it very easy for the reader to visualize the horrific experiences he had to go through with his use of imagery.
