Night Quotes 4 :33 *even though we turn it in

"Pressed up against the others in an effort to keep out the cold" (Wiesel 103). This is kind of ironic on how they are leaving in a vechical and is going somewhere, they don't kow. When they were first going to the camp (the first one) it was a bad thing to be huddled togeather, because lack of air, but now they're leaving the camp in Buna and their huddeld togeather to stay warm. "Lying don was out of the question, and we were only abel to sit by deciding to take turns" (Wiesel 32). At first he was complaining about it being crowded but now since they are all smaller and it's colder they want the warmth to stay warm not cold.

"'I can't go on. . . . This is the end. . . . I'm going to die here. . . .'" (Wiesel 110).  Those were the words spoken to Elizer from his dad. Since coming to the consentration camp and being seperated from his mom and sisters, Elie has wanted to stay by his dad's side threw out the whole time. He wanted his dad to be in the same block as him, work with him and many more exaples. He truely cares for his dad. To hear something like this from your father at a time of despare and fearfullness of dieing soon, it's shocking. I think that in Elie's head he understands that his dad won't make it, because they all suffered too much. I belive that Elie's dad is the reason why Elie still trys hard for both of them, so he doesn't have to loose him!



"'You  at least, have some mercy on me. . . .' Have mercy on him! I'm his only son!"(Wiesel 114). Elie's dad's been abused since day one in Buna's consintration camp, but when he got sick it was worse he couldn't do anything for himself elie did it for him. So to show mercy on him was enevedable, Eliezer's been doing that threw helping him out. He may feel the need to do it since they are family member's he's his dad. Personally if I was Elie, knowing that my dad would die soon I would do the same thing show mercy, let him die happy. Kind of like what Gorge did to Lennie in Of Mice and Men. Both Elie and George allowed the ones who were close to them die happily. Of course Elie's dad was happy with the mercy being showen to him.


  "The look in his eyes, as they stared into mine, has never left me." (Wiesel 119). His eyes are Eliezer's eye's from what he adored at the camp, loosing his family and yet surviving it all. The eyes that stare back at him are the eyes of a survivor. The last part of the quote "has never left me" shows that he can still feel/see the way he looked threw his eyes from that day! When he says "his eyes" he means the refelction of himself in the mirror, he saw how he really was, what he really looked like. His livlyness, happyness and much more is gone with the lives of his family so of course his eyes were different since the human eye can reveal alot about a person. His revealed to me how he changed, loosing his family, becoming ill, thinking that one day he'll die!  To me his eyes show the life he had in the consentration camps not in Transylvania where he spent his childhood at, or the ghetto's. He changed!

Night Quotes 3 :)))

"'Don't be worried son. Sleep-you can sleep. I'll look after you myself'" (Wiesel 95). Those were the words spoken by Elizer's dad. Elie and his dad afraid of what will happen to them.  Eliezer wanted both of them to sleep but in turns so they can look after eachother. He's tried to be by  his dad's side threw out the begining of them coming to the consentration camp and being seperated from their family. Both truely want the best for eachother, right now it's sleep! Elie's dad is kindhearted and wants the best for his son from day one. He regreted Elie not going with his mother, him being seperated from her and being in the camp. All he wants to do is protect his son and make sure he is doing well. Like every parent wants for their child.


"'Don't be afraid,' he added . 'Everything will be all right'" (Wiesel 85). It's ironic how the doctor will tell Elie that everything will go all right especially when he's injured. Elie knows that if your injured your basicaly dead. The SS want you to be able to work, if you can't work due to an opetation then your going to die. So is what the doctor said really true if Elie get's the operation. He's already warry about the camp. After his operation that lasted an hour he finally woke up after slipping into unconsiness he relizes he can't feel his leg. The first thing he thinks it's amputated. The operation may have went well but having to wait to heal knowing another selection was coming up is not all right.

Night Quotes 2

"Strip! Fast! Los! Keep only your belts and shoes in your hands...." (Wiesel 43). The words were used to show that they had no controle on what they could do. It showed that the prisoners had to listen to their orders If they don't listen then they would die, even though they were going to die already.

"Where is my mother at this moment? And Tzipora . . .?" (Wiesel 54). That quote right there shows how much Ellie cares for his mom and sister's safety kowing that they could be dead. If Ellie wasn't carring he wouldn't have asked his dad knowing that he; his dad, didn't know. In the end I belive Ellie would try to do anything he can to see his sisters, and mother again and be by them

Night Quotes 1 :))

"The one day they expelled all the foreign Jews from Sighet. And Moche the Beadle was a forigner" (Wiesel 16). This quote is foreshadowing the events that will happen later; the Jews will leave Sighet. First they expelled all foreign Jews from Sighet. Then the Jews of Sighet are sent to a big ghetto and a little ghetto. Only to wait to be deported. The Jews who weren't deported the second time were moved to the little ghetto and waited until they were deported.

"In front of us flames. In the air that smell of burning flesh" (Wiesel 37). "In front of us flames" makes me feel kind of edgy/eeiry because Madame Shachter was yelling the whole time about flames and fire and how she could see it. But not only did she say that she saw it a head of time, it was like she could see into the future or was predicting it! "smell of burning flesh" when I read that part it made me think. The final solution was to kill them all easily, by gassing them then burning them in a human oven (Cremater... thing) The edgy/eeiry  feeling comes from whats happening twards the end. It already is telling you that all the jews (or most) are going to end up in a camp. However it doesn't tell you what they're going to see there or what'll happen. Like for the foreigner Jews in Sieght they had to dig their own graves, but when the Jews who were in the little ghetto of Sieght they see fire, and smell burning flesh.

Snapshot of ........ Me in Mexico!!

 

              It was a hot day. A blazing hot day when the boat sailed into port at Mexico. The salty water fumed the air so much you could taste it. Me and my cousin Derrian (The tanish girl in the picture behind the alligator) raced to the lido deck for food. We got in line to get breafast. I got mouthwatering pancakes and some juicy bacon along with some tropical Mango juice stuff. After we were done eating we went back to our cabin and got changed out of our pajamas. She left before I did to meet our family on floor 5 room 528. I came out and ran into my friend Raymond. He's 14 and lives in Florida, he has a sister and likes to sing. Anyways we both toppled over onto the ground and I happen to hit my head on the door. He laughed along with our other friends, Dallas from Colorado, Luca and Sophia from England and Sean from PA. After the laughing died down we talked about where we were going. I'm going to the beach, Luca and Sophia were going to swim with dolphin's, Sean's going to his cabin, while the rest were staying here, making a music video to a whole lot of songs. We said our good byes and went our own way. When I got to the room they were already to leave, so we went to deck 1 where you get off the ship and waited in a long line. It was cramped, people were standing there with huge bags of food, and towels. When we did get off we had to walk in the sun to the 'flying chairs' as my cousin Nathan called them. I rode on them with my cousin Derrian and mom, it was nice the wind was breezing, we had a good view and could see the rocks in the water. I turned around to see my friend Austin when we first met I could tell you that he was the first person I met that was a cowboy! We were talking well yelling to eachother about every thing we saw. There was a blue camera on the ground in the middle of the grass that someone most likly dropped. There were people walking to the beach. When the ride stopped we got off and went to find our family who decided it would be cool to get on before us since we were taking pictures by random objects.

               The beach was breath takingly beautiful well except for all the trash on it, along with all of the people. One of the coolest things I saw there was a mini crab on this old lady's hat. She didn't even know the little red sucker was there. When I got into the water it was warm not cold. It was as warm as the pool when you know someone peed in it! There were little fishes swiming around, sea weed and slimy rocks that  were randomly on the bottom of the beach. They felt like a boogery tissue that fell in the toilet or a soggy doggy toy. I was tired of touching it so I went back to shore and read apart of the Book Theif for school. Well it really was only a page. I grabbed all of my things and told my mom I was leaving. My cousin (Derrian) came with me. We walked back to the boat after getting a ride from the 'flying chairs' and walked threw security. We took the elevator to the Lido Deck aka Deck 10 and walked to our room. Putting our things away we headed down to get some food! When we were done we got ready for dinner. It's better to be ready hours before then last minute. Since I was done I went down to Circle C. It's a club for teens. I walked in and they were playing my favorite gamce Just Dance 2. I saw by my friends and we talked about what we did. Only thing that sucks being on a ship is no internet access. Well there is but you have to pay! When it was time for me to eat I left with Jenee, Dylan, Quin, Raymond, and his sister Delanie who eat at the same time and place as me. Were all on the same side. For dinner I got shrimp, shark and chocolate cake. We sang happy birthday to my cousin (Derrian) and I left to go back to the room and change then to go to Circle C and have a mismatch party at Calienta. It was awesome!

An Outsider's View

                                                               An Outsider's View

              Crooks is a black stable hand that has a crooked back. He was treated int the story poorly. He was secluded and by himself. The guys at the ranch never included him in card games due to the fact that he is a minority. Since he was the minority he had to be cautious about the things he said. For example when he was telling Curly's wife to leave she threatened to have him lynched. When I moved to WV I was an outsider. I was because no one knew me I knew nothing about them. Being an outsider is hard and made me feel sad. I had no friends or someone to talk to. At school the students would treat me differently because they didn't know who I was or how I acted, some made assumptions about me. It's never a good feeling feeling like an outsider because you feel left out, unwanted. The group in control made me feel worthless. Like I should be here, or belonged. I felt like an outsider until I made friends. So when ever there are new people I want to be there for them as a friend so they don't have to feel the way I did. It hurts to feel left out and like you don't belong.

A Perfect World

A perfect world is  different for many people. To me a perfect world is when everyones at peace with eachother. To Hitler it was when all the Jews were dead. Others might think a perfect world is with kings and queens or everyones ruled by the same person. I feel that a perfect world is when were all at peace with eachother for many reasons. One of them being no wars.
        
           Without wars no one would die for their belief. That's how it is today people die because of their race, religion, ethnicity. To me if they were at peace with one another  they wouldn't be fighting. We arn't at peace due to igronance. People think their better than others when their not, therefor it creates wars. To eliminate that we live in peace by loving and caring for eachother. We don't all have to nessicarally get along but be tolerant of one another. Words make us imperfect making our word not perfect. If we were to get rid of the stareotipic words we'd all be the same. HUMAN! By saying stareotipic words it belittles the other people which leads to war. Since they feel like their not perfect they want to by elimanating those who are better than them.

      That's my perfect world. A place with no wars. Were all eqaul as human beings. No hate twards eachother. We're tolerant of one another and live in peace. With out discrimination to others or ourselves.What's your version of a perfect world?
