The scene I decided to write about was the one where the camp was getting bombed, and the prisoners wanted to risk their lives to get soup from the abandoned cauldron. During this scene I pictured people herding around each other, staring at the two cauldrons of soup with watering mouths. I imagined people dying inside because they couldn’t eat it and were too scared to, but then one man was brave enough and went up to it. I pictured everyone envying him and wanting to be him, but changing their feelings quickly once he was shot for doing what he did. When I was reading this passage I felt sympathetic towards the man who risked his life just to see a reflection of his own face to see what camp life had done to him. When the man saw his reflection
The concentration camps were one of the hardest thing Elie and his family went through. Elie Wiesel explained what the camps were like and how they were treated as jews at the camp. As Jews, Elie and his father were not treated fairly at the concentration camps. They were forced to take showers that sometimes could have killed them because they contained gas in them instead of water. They did this purposely to torcher the the jew, this wasn't a accident. This example showed imagery because i could just picture the people getting tricked and when they showered they all showered at the same time so i could picture them all waiting and getting mad because they
Many of troops are coming back home to an isolated mindset due to being traumatized from their experience from combat war. Furthermore, many of them are unable to balance back to society after being exposed to much of death. Tim O’Brien the author of “Speaking of Courage,” draft by the Army; served in Vietnam in the late 60’s and 70’s. O’Brien’s discussion about a character by the name of Norman Bowker, who just return home from the war as he noticed that everything has change. Also, he has no friends to talk about his issues with the mental condition from the war. The reflection of his surroundings reminds him of some of the scenarios from the war. Therefore, the visual from the lake has placed Norman in an isolated mindset due to the mental health intervention that he has gains during his time of war.
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
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
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
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.
Children are murdered. Innocent people are held prisoners. No one knows. The ones who do know do not try to help. This is the story of the Holocaust and the atrocities the Nazis committed.

The sound of the gavel arose in the courtroom. It was surrounded by windows with wooden frame beautiful land around can be seen through it.. Ranch hands of Tyler barn were sitting behind Candy, who was wearing a red shirt. Everyone was listening to the Chinese bearded Judge. "Murdering is a huge crime because you murder a human, according to Penal Code 189 you are fined for 1000 dollars." ordered the Judge.
“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.
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.
I shivered and looked at the gun, and then threw it away from myself, back up on the bank, near the pile of ashes. Eyes filled with dread, I sank to my knees and covered my face with my hands. The wind whipped back and forth but all I could do was stare at the person who once was my friend. Slim’s voice shouted. “George. Where you at George?”

One day when I peered outside the window and gazed toward the sea I saw so many people all staring back at me they are hungry they are cold they are children now they’re old and the open window of empathy- -it invited me to see so I looked upon the people and all their agony, Well I gazed upon the people, and I looked but did not see
A defining characteristic represented in Steinbeck's novel, Mice and Men is ableism. Lennie exhibits ageism when he targeted by George, for forgetting something. “George scowled over at Lennie. ‘So you forgot alwready, did you? Jesus christ crazy bastard!’” This quote on page three proves how in even the start of the book, Lennie is facing verbal abuse for his inability to remember things. Those facing ableism are generally not as smart or knowledgeable as those who aren't.
