Within the eleven chapters that comprise Waiting 'Til the Midnight Hour lays a treasure chest of information for anyone interested in Black or African American history, particularly the civil rights movement that took place during the 1950’s and 1960’s. I am a self-professed scholar of African American history and I found an amazing amount of information that I was not aware of. Like most who claim to be Black History experts, I was aware of the roles of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, W.E.B. Du Bois and Marcus Garvey. However,

Growing up in a city like Reading is not easy on any child, especially when you are the minority. This city is composed of 87,893 people, and of these people only twenty nine percent of them are Caucasian. Over half of the people living in our city are Hispanic, making up fifty nine percent of the population. Being part of the twenty nine percent can make a child feel different or left out while they are growing up. Children strive to make friends and to fit in with other kids their age. In my case it was not always the easiest because of a cultural barrier, or even a language barrier. Starting school is a scary for everyone, everyone fears the unknown. But when you enter school into a classroom full of people unlike yourself, is when the nerves really set in.

Night, Elie Wiesel’s memoir about his time in concentration camps, is a startling revelation with passages that stick to the mind, etched in the brain. Many of the passages in this book are about the views of human life, and can be perceived in many ways. One of these passages is, “The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me.” This description is of a moment where Wiesel looking in a mirror at himself. He had not seen himself since he had left the concentration camp, and his expression of what he saw is a powerful statement with underlying themes and messages. Wiesel may never forget the look in his eyes, but readers may never forget his words and the meaning it holds.

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.

I was not allowed to tell anyone about my mission. If I failed the consequences would be deadly.

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

The Time is Night is a short novel by Liudmila Petrushevskaya. It is one of the few stories that I enjoy reading over and over again. The reason is that each time I re-read it, I perceive it in a slightly different way. The complicity of characters and the style of the novel is what I would like to emphasize most about the novel, as well as the fact that The Time is Night represents an outstanding social awareness of the author.
