Short Story : Don's 'Night'

Concerned Molly gazes down at Russell as he looks up at her and mutes the television.

Ready Player One hits some of the same situations as in the holocaust or for the book that we read “Night” like taking people spread out over a good area and combining them into a small dense area. They both also touch on the topic of how when someone is killed or something is blown up now one raises an eyebrow or if they do no one does anything about it.

While reading the books, Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza, and Night by Elie Wiesel, the similarity in person was very prominent. Noticing how closely related these two authors were in their time of struggle and how they conquered their struggles to become survivors. Family, personality, religion, and lifestyle all played separate parts in the story which were told. Though these authors share many similarities, there are still a few ways they differ in the events they were exposed to.

With more people passed than survivors of the Holocaust, we rely on the survivors to give us insight on what the Holocaust was actually like. In the autobiography Night by Elie Wiesel, thousands of people learn true facts about what the torture and the pain was actually like for the ones who were unfortunate to suffer from this event in History. Elie gives specific and horrific examples of what he suffered and saw while he was at camp. Elie’s goal is to teach others the importance of human lives and why no human is replaceable and anyone is capable of doing anything. This book is highly recommended by myself, and many others such as: book reviewers, other authors, teachers, and students.

Quickly night comes, after a full day of traveling towards their next destination which was a small village only a few miles away from Jason’s barn. As they begin to set up camp for the night the moon begins to rise lighting up the area just enough so Jason and Rose are able to see. After completing their shelter they had started to roast some food over an open fire, as Jason began eating his food he started to think about his home again. Even though he had only been gone for a day he missed the place, the fresh air, the open plains, the green grass, and everything else he missed home. Where he was safe and secure, but now he wasn’t, now he was in the open danger lurking everywhere and everyplace he hated it, he feared it! A few hours later,

One caliginous night, in the streets of New Orleans, walked a woman who went by the name, Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a 24 year old in which her body was being possessed by a demon called Lucifer. Lucifer made Elizabeth see what he saw. Every single unpropitious action Lucifer made her do. That night, Lucifer decided to grab a meal. He really fancied Elizabeth’s neighbor, Janis. So Lucifer invited Janis over to her apartment. Elizabeth and Janis were supposed to enjoy dinner together. Janis on the other hand did not realize she was the dinner. Elizabeth remembered that night as if it just happened yesterday. She remembers ripping out Janis’ emitting beating heart. Looking straight into Janis’ artic, annihilation eyes as the life drained out of

There are no boundaries when dealing with survival. For example, in the book “Night” the main character had to deal with the Holocaust in which the Jew had to battle for food when it was scarce among other starving Jews. When survival is at play our basic instincts tell us that we need to survive.

Robert Frost’s “Acquainted with the Night” is written in Terza Rima, a very uncommon form first used by Dante Alighieri, the famous Italian poet. Terza Rima is a very cyclical form, with the unusual rhyme scheme interlocking the stanzas. Frost uses this form to represent the cyclical nature of his night time journeys to the edge of town, as well at the cyclical nature of depression and suicidal ideation. The most interesting thing about this poem is how ambiguous it is, and how Frost goes about creating the ambiguity. It is extremely straight-forward, and is not hard to interpret literally.

My curiosity is courting me head to the science building to check the scene of the crime. The police haven’t touched this place in a while, if the squatters are any indication. The cook looked up at me, and gave me an interesting warning. “The place is haunted my dear child.” she utters, telling me stories of not just her, Mr. Shufner and the guitarist, but the maintenance crew are afraid to go during the dark as they claim to see images. One ran from the school cafeteria in a hysteria, swinging a fire extinguisher at his co-workers. Which was confirmed by a crew member who was walking by us just now. There were maintenance men walking about, but no sign of the curly haired man to be seen. I asked the man who butted in to

Robert Frost is highly regarded for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech. In “Acquainted with the Night”, written by Robert Frost, the poems tone and its use of melancholy personification exaggerates the sadness and loneliness of the character in the poem.

“Acquainted with the Night” is a well written poem. Before I read the poem, I believed it would express how the speaker is more familiar with the night life than day life. Instead, the poem is a sonnet comparing a sad lonely person to the darkness of the night. Darkness is symbol for sadness, loneliness, and depression. That description fits the speaker. The speaker is walking on a rainy, dark night. He sees a watchman that is on duty but he does not make eye contact with him to avoid having conversation with the watchman. Then, the speaker stopped because he heard a cry that seem to be far away. He realizes the cry is not for him so he looks up to “an unearthly height”, which may be the moon, to determine what time it was; but whatever time

It's there in the blackness, deep within the gloom of the shadows, poised just beyond the charcoal line that separates the night from the dark. If you listen you can hear the growl that rumbles deep down within its throat, and imagine the bared razor teeth, the drooling saliva, and those blood red eyes that can penetrate and discern the very fears of men. It lurks, cloaked in the murkiness of the night just beyond the perception of the human eye. It lays in wait; loathsome, poised, hungry.
