    The Holocaust is a haunting time in the history of the world. The book "Night" by Elie Wiesel captures Wiesel's haunting experience during the Holocaust. A book like this is one that is not read for enjoyment, but rather for information. If one wants to be able to at least imagine what the people in the concentration camps went through, then this is the book to read. Night does not sugar-coat what happened in those camps. Wiesel tells the world what it was really like to live behind those barbed-wire fences.…

    When people are told they are something over and over and over, they may begin to believe that it is true, and indeed they begin to become it. In the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel there is a use of a heavy symbolism. The most redundant and most important symbols that are used throughout his memoir are those of animals. In this memoir the constant comparison of the Jews to animals is used in a negative connotation and so that we see how the Nazi’s really were dehumanizing the Jews as a whole. Some of the major animals that were used for symbolism include cattle, dogs, and lambs. Not only was the symbolism used to show how lowly the Nazi’s felt about the Jews, but also to show that continuing to call them these various animal names and treat them like the animals began to make them actually behave like these animals would, and by that they were dehumanized.…

    Kill Bill 2

    The opening scene fades in to a black and white overhead shot of a wedding chapel amidst a vast desert plain. A woman‘s (The Bride) voice overlaps a slow tracking shot of the chapel. The progression of the camera is steady and calm, while the voice-over explains a massacre that occurred within the walls of the little, white chapel. The sequence begins slowly and uses deep space for a reason. By doing this, a startling contrast of the masochistic massacre and the seemingly peaceful ceremony is formed. There are no cuts or abrupt shifts within the establishing shot. Sally Menke purposefully chose not to use cuts because the lack of an edit can be just as effective as using one. The voiceover is in perfect pace with the continuous camera movement. The audience feels as though time is passing through the narration, all through one simple camera movement. The tracking shot begins with the chapel in the right corner of the frame and ends with it being centered. The axis of action guides the audiences eyes to the location where future action will occur. Once the shot is fixed on the immediate outside of the chapel, the viewer notices another contrast. Graphic patterns are present such as dark trees and a white chapel with a deep, black door. This serves as a transition into the next shot.…
