Reflection Questions on Night 152-156

152. Why do you think Elie Wiesel wrote this book?

In my opinion I think that Elie wrote this book because he wanted people to read what was and is going on right now around the world. Also he might have wanted to inform people that people that did survived still have bad memories and that they will never get over what happened to them.

153. Why do you think he chose Night as a title?

In my opinion I think that Elie Wiesel chose Night as his title because maybe as he survived at night he will have nightmares and he remembers everything that happened to him during the concentration camps.

154. How does Elie change as a result of his experiences in the concentration camps?

Elie change as a result of his experience in the concentration camps by him losing faith in god, he becomes stronger physical and mental because now he is alone with out family.

155. How does Elie finally come to terms with his ordeal? (What does he finally do?)

Elie finally comes to ordeal by him making and book and telling what he experienced during the moment he went to the concentration camps and until he was finally free.Also he made this book for a purpose and that was for what ever happened to him never happened again.

156. Give examples of issues in Night that still arise today and what do you think should be done about genocide?

Chad- The Chadian military, Chadian rebel groups, Sudanese militia and bandits are killing and torturing people. Chad has suffered from violence, people have been executed,woman had been raped, and destruction of burning of villages. Children are being sent to the military. These issues are similar to Night by the people raping woman, beating and torturing men,woman,andchildren.

Darfur,Sudan-African people are being displaced and mudered at the hands Janjaweed a government.400,000 poeplehave dies and displaced over 2,500,000people.5 thouand people die every month. Poor and voiceless people were the one's that started the conflict. Janjaweed militia have used rape, displacement, starvation, threats against aid workers and mass murder. Violence, disease, and displacement continue to kill thousands of innocent Darfurians every month. Darfur and Night are a like becuase they go against certain people. Also they gave people a little food so they were really skinny.

Somalia-Ethiopian soldiers, Somali civilians are the targeted people. 1800 were killed in direct violence this does nto mean that they dies from deseases.More than 330,000 Somalis are refugees in neighboring countries, while 1.3 million people are displaced within Somalia.

In my opinion I think that genocide should end becuase as humans we are suppose to get along and have respect.

The hardest rule that would be for me is to be quiet and not move from 9 a.m. till the clock strikes 6:00 p.m. It will be hard for me because I can’t stay still for a lot of time and be quiet if especially I have people next to me.

Hansel and Gretel

Old Woman story:

I always wanted meat to eat. I was a mean woman that liked to
bake a lot. My house was beautiful full of things that I baked.I loved
children I always wanted one. I want them for I can just give them all the
food they want and see how they are going to fat. Then one day I had a feeling that i was going to have some kids arrive I started to clean the house and bake. I milk and pancakes, with sugar, apples and nuts. Everything was going so perfect. Then I heard a noise, someone was in my roof. I stopped finishes putting the pancakes in the table and I opened the door. I saw a girl and a boy in my house eating. I was acting so kind and invited them in the house. I told them to lay down in the beds they seemed so hungry. Then I graved the girl and told her to start cooking for his brother because I was not going to feed them in the mouth. The girl at first didn't want to but then she started to follow my instructions. Then as days pasted the boy was getting fat but the girl was skinny. I was made because I was thinking on cooking them. Then I screamed at the girl and told her that if she didn't eat she will be my dinner. The girl got scared but she still didn't eat. The next day I woke up early and I heated the oven I was going to cook her. I was happy because I was going to finally eat meat. The girl got up and i told her to come to the kitchen she came and I told her to get in. Then she said that she couldn't fit but i told her that I can even fit there. We started to argue when I saw myself inside the oven burning. My whole body was burning I did not want to die like that. I was screaming and screaming until I was completely dead.

Adam's Diary

Each day I saw her she was like a beautiful flower. She talked and talked and never got tired. She got my attention when I first saw her. I barley talked to her because she was annoying. But I guess that's the way I started to like her because of what she said and what she did. She was so beautiful I never wanted to her to notice that I liked her. She named everything she saw. She really liked the moon and stars. I also liked them but I didn't want to catch her attention that much or else she won't leave me alone. All I could just think of her, he eyes were beautiful, her face it was beautiful like a rose in the garden.

Monday Noon: I saw that I was not as bright as Eve. She was so intelligent she just used new words each day. I was not that smart but as Eve talked to me I got a little smarter. We were to different people. We were different in every way.

Friday,tuesday, wednesday,thursday and today:It has been a lot of days that I haven't talk. I really missed her is like i almost died if I don't see her. I learned a lot from her. She was so intelligent I really liked her. Then i saw her naked she was trying to cover up but all I looked at was her pretty face. I think she liked me also and she missed me also.

After the Fall:

Forty Years Later: She had passed away. I missed her talking to me. Now I was alone I didn't see her pretty face nor her smile. I really missed her a lot. I was in her grave yard and I said was "Wheresoever she was, THERE was Eden."

Fable

One day there was a butterfly named Pally she was eating pollen. Then bird Paco came and asked her if he has his brother. With the pollen in Pally's mouth she started to talk. Paco said what are you saying. Pally kept talking and Paco didn't understand anything. As Pally finished the pollen Paco told her she should have some respect.





Never talk with your mouth full it is disrespectful

The Outcasts of Poker Flat

If you had to blame someone or something for the outcasts' deaths, who/what would you blame & why?
-Uncle Billy
-Citizens of Poker Flat
-Bad luck
-outcasts

If I were to blame someone or something for the outcast deaths I would blame the bad luck. I will blame it on the bad luck because Earth does now when a storm but it informs it when it is already coming or occurring. Also it is on the bad luck because sometimes you have a good luck and sometimes you just don’t that is just how life is. Also in the story it said that one day it snowed and then the sun came out. But a day before Tom left it snowed but it wasn’t that bad. But when he left the storm got really bad and the rest of the people died. So the weather was their bad luck. Unfortunately they barley got good luck. So in my opinion I think that I will blame it on the bad luck.
