Creative Writing: The Wailing Wall And Western Wall
The Wailing Wall/Western Wall When I entered inside the courtyard of the Wailing Wall I saw many people praying loudly and softly. They all wore a yarmulke. A yarmulke is a oval head cap used by the Jews. It looks like a white circle cloth. Anyone who comes near the wall has to wear a yarmulke, including myself. As I came closer to the wailing wall I looked at the cracks and noticed closely that there were many little notes inside of them.

    Various Jews dread the sound of bells ringing, it told them when to work, prepare for selection (death) , to stand still in a line, when they could rest, and when the families “must separate”(321). Wiesel despised the bells, he “dreamed of a better world..[and] could only imagine a universe without bells”(311) but he obeyed them nonetheless.

    My division was stationed in Normandy, France, at the time of the Allied invasion on June 6, 1944. Toward the end of August or early September, Canadian troops captured me near Dieppe.10 I was with a small group of men who were cut off from our main company and overrun by motorized Allied units. For several days we wandered around searching for our unit, until one night we strayed into a field camp of Canadian soldiers. You can well imagine the astonishment all around when we suddenly appeared in their midst. The Canadians didn’t have a guard posted. This was probably better for all because otherwise we might have exchanged gunfire. Instead, we peacefully turned over our weapons and in return received cigarettes.…

    The Getty Villa, located in Pacific Palisades, is by far the museum that resonates with me the most. From the artwork to the building itself, I’m in love. I went with a childhood friend of mine because I had an extra ticket and I coerced him to join me. The tickets were free, but the parking was fifteen dollars; a very fair price in my opinion.…
