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.

The following passage is one that gives an example of how human lives were disregarded, “Faster, you filthy dogs! We were no longer marching, we were running like automatons.

Night, by Elie Wiesel, is a story about a Jewish boy growing up during World War II. The main character in the book, Eliezer Wiesel, talks about the different experiences he had during World War II. He started off by talking about how everything was normal, and no one was too worried about the war that was going on. One man, Moishe the Beadle, was taken off to another country, and when he managed to get back, he warned everyone what would happened if they did not leave. A few people listened to him, but not Eliezer’s parents. A couple years later, when the war sounded like it was almost over, Germans entered the town that Eliezer’s family were living in.

Night Death, Sadness, and destruction fell upon Elie Wiesel a fifteen year old boy who was taken from his home in Transylvania and brought to a concentration camp where he would lose his mother youngest sister and father.

When Elie first arrives at the concentration camp the reader can see an immediate shift in how Elie feels and his faith.

In the essay, “Our Vanishing Night”, Verlyn Klinkenborg discusses light pollution. Light pollution is due to human’s use of artificial light during the night. Klinkenborg uses examples of how this type of pollution effects not only humans and their biological clocks, but how it effects other organisms in the wild. In this essay, I will analyze the author argument and aspects of it that includes authority, topic, tone, context, exigence, and audience to determine whether the essay was effective or ineffective in getting Klinkenborg’s argument across to the reader.

A time of decency and aspiration soon appeared as a time of brutality and outrage. The 1960s were a period of social revolution and turmoil. Through changes in politics, equality and war, many Americans acted as a catalyst for change. John F. Kennedy took office as the first Catholic President of the United States who radiated a symbol of hope. While Martin Luther King Jr. preached notions of change during the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. The racial divide of blacks and whites were heightened in society. Protests appeared to demand equal rights for women and to end the war in Vietnam. In Rosemary L. Bray’s memoir, Unafraid of the Dark, Bray openly reflected on the life she had growing up in a low class family in Chicago. Bray describes the hardships

Night opens with a short description of a poor man named Moshe the Beadle, who lives in the hometown of Transylvania.

Eliezer's father is highly regarded in the Jewish community and pays more attention to outside matters than to family ones; Eliezer has two older sisters, Hilda and Bea, and a younger one,Tzipora. Despite his father's lack of support, Eliezer decides to study the cabbala anyway and chooses Moché as his teacher.

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.

The Light in the Forest, a story by Conrad Richter, portrays a 15-year-old boy born to White people, but captured and raised by Indians. This creates many interesting perspectives from both Whites and Indians, and how they view god, nature, life, and each other. Prior to this I had never read a book with both perspectives. It takes place in Pennsylvania near the area of Fort Pitt during the French and Indian War. When he was just 4 years old, John Butler was captured by the Tuscarawas tribe during an ambush. He was renamed True Son by the leader of the tribe, Cuyloga, and raised like an Indian. When True Son was 15 years old, it was announced that he, along with other captives were going to be returned to their real families. During the trip,

“In a Dark time” by Theodore Roethke gives a retrospect into the inner turmoil’s of finding oneself through a haze of doubts in till reaching a moment of clarity. Each section of the poem describes a different emotion, or inner thought that spirals from fear of death, to emotions of desire. The use of imagery between nature and uncertainties of the narrator give a glimpse into Roethke’s own mind during the time he wrote this poem. Without hundreds of pages Roethke created a poem that connects readers to their own self-doubts and struggles of finding ones way again.

Put aside your stance on homosexuality, and put yourself into the shoes of someone who is a homosexual. Imagine how you would feel if the world did not accept who you are as a person because you are different. Only because you didn’t find the opposite sex attractive to you. In Jonathan Safran Foer’s book Everything is illuminated we find out that Alex confesses his love for Jonathan near the end of the book as he becomes more comfortable with Jonathan. Why does Alex not tell Jonathan from the beginning? Is he uncomfortable being open that he is a homosexual?

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.
