'The World Depicted In Elie Wiesel's Room'
Room is a story of how Jack has spent his entire life locked in a 11 by 11 room, with his Ma, who was kidnapped and raped by a sociopath who Jacks calls Old Nick, and has been kept in the room for the last seven years. Jack's world revolved around that room and he refers to all the furniture as if they are real, living, breathing persons like “Wardrobe”, “Rug”, and “Plant”. Even though there were some disturbing events that happened in the book, but the way Jack looked at the Room and the outside was refreshing and innocent making those events not so disturbing. This book was based off the disturbing event of the young woman, Elisabeth Fritzl, who was imprisoned for 24 years by her serial-rapist father.

    Throughout his two years of research in Figel, Schlegel described many Teduray cultural practices; among them include their elaborate legal system, gender and sexuality, marriage and customs as well as their beliefs. Some of the practices he did not understand, but throughout his book he portrays the Tedurays as being spiritual, tolerant, peaceful and noncompetitive group of people. Compared to his upbringing, Schlegel starts to question his own way of life and he starts to change it by being tolerant socially and morally. One aspect of custom that he had a hard time understanding was the first marriage procedures the Tedurays had. He observed that the young people were not given a choice to choose who they wanted to marry or when they wanted…

    Through the course of Night by Elie Wiesel, one clearly notices that the events happening in the book greatly affect the reader on an emotional level. Above all that, though, it is the voices coming up throughout the book that make the reader truly think about, and eventually feel, what the characters are feeling at that specific moment. These voices influence and completely change how we perceive the book in such a way that without them, we wouldn't be able to fully understand the story and it would just feel like another written record of the Holocaust to us. Among the many voices used in the book, there are three that stood out the most to me as a reader; the voices of Moshe the Beadle, the Rabbi's son, and Juliek the violinist.…

    In Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night he compares the two hangings, the purpose of the writing becomes clear through the word choice he uses. The interesting choice of words is apparent when a man is called upon to be hanged, Wiesel writes “He was on the point of of motioning to his assistants to draw the chair away from the prisoner's feet, when the latter cried, in a calm, strong voice: ‘Long lice liberty! A curse upon Germany! A curse...! A cur-....I remeber that I found the soup tasted excellent that evening...’” (Wiesel 46). After the prisoner does something rebellious, instead of just saying how happy it made the him, he compared it to how the soup tasted. This is a very unique word choice and as the reader I understood what was meant by it.…

    In the holocaust, the Nazis severely dehumanized the Jewish people and made them to be lesser people. In the novel Night, in Eliezer’s town all was tranquil, until the Nazis arrived and completely changed his life and the lives of the other Jews in his town. In the launch of the invasion by the Nazis, they had not bothered to identify which individuals were Jews by their name, but the Jews were required to wear a Jewish star to be easily identifiable, dehumanizing them. In addition, the Nazis made the Jews gather outside in a large, orderly fashion. This triggered Eliezer to utter a statement that,” there no longer was any distinction between rich and poor, notables and the others; we were all people condemned to the same fate still unknown.”…

    Similarly, it expects me to believe that our Bruno could have conversations with a Jewish friend at Auschwitz almost daily for close to a year without even having an indistinct idea of what is going on in the camp. I would like to think that after over 300 conversations with his friend, who is obviously hungry and filthy, even a self-centered boy like Bruno would realize that the camp is an unpleasant place where people starve, work and die, no? After all that time, how could he not understand that the camp guards aren't very nice people? I refuse to believe that a 9-year-old boy, who may not be the most effective observer, is incapable of assuming how horrible this camp is. Even compared to today, where we are constantly exposed to this type…

    Elie heard this quote from a “French” women after his first beating from Idek. The French women was encouraging to survive and keep faith, so that one day Elie would be able to speak up for the Jews. When the quote states, “Keep your anger, your hate, for another day, for later. The day will come but not now.” displays the silence that Jews had to live through to survive the camps. The quote conveys the theme of dehumanization because in order to survive the camps the Jews were forced to internalize everything they felt or risk being killed. Another theme conveyed was human morality, the women’s compassion and kindness towards Elie showed that even in times of extreme distress human kindness will prevail. Upon reading the quote, I knew that…

    Divergent covers the important theme of power. In the novel the participants during the initiation to become apart of the Dauntless faction, are competing for the highest ranking this is good because it's “the order in which you select a job” there are “only a few good positions.” The characters are taught the better they do the better the outcome will be. Students are taught the same thing, we have to work hard and do the best and achieve “good positions” “There is power in controlling something that can do so much damage. Maybe I do belong here” This shows that Beatrice wants power, and that power can be abused, this book showed me that even the people that were trusted to be leaders could be persuaded to betray the trust all for a selfish reason.…

    Ethics, the guiding moral compass for what is wrong or right, is personalized for each individual. Ethics holds the power to interconnect people and beliefs across a multitude of cultures. This blend of ideas is the reason why the definition of ethics can present an array of answers; therefore, ethics can best be defined as the constant search of looking for the balance of what is right and what is wrong.
