    Man vs. Man is one of the many conflicts in the book “Night” written by the late Elie Wiesel. Wiesel expresses that it was him against the Nazi soldiers for they were ordered to beat the Jews and often times kill them. They were forced out of their homes and, “the Hungarian Police made them climb into the [cattle] cars, eighty persons in each one” (22). After going through many mentally damaging experiences, the Jews soon began to turn on each other. During transport, bystanders threw a piece of bread at the passing men, and an old man managed to snatch it. Everyone, including his son, jumped on him “when they withdrew, there were two dead bodies next to [Wiesel], the father and the son” (102). Later when Wiesel’s father was dying of dysentery,…

    Night Michael Greenberg By Elie Wiesel 1/11/13 1. “ The shadows beside me awoke as from a long sleep. They fled, silently, in all directions.” (Wiesel pg 12)- Personification. Wiesel uses this deep personification with a hint of symbolism to give the effect that shadows can wake up just as living organisms do. Yet a shadow is non-living and cannot truly wake up. At the time of Wiesel’s choice of personification, his whole family has just heard news that they are to leave their home in the morning. He is told by his father to wake up the neighbors, but instead shadows are the only things that wake. This somewhat hints at the profound deeper meaning of where they are actually going to be taken and how that might affect them.…

    The purpose of Take Back the Night was to promote awareness and support survivors of rape, sexual assault and relationship violence among students and nonstudents. I also think the goal was to unify the community by allowing survivors to open up about incidents of abuse/assault within their lives. I observed the audiences reactions when the audience showed lots of support to the survivors that were telling their stories of assault and abuse. Whenever a survivor would leave the stage the audience would applaud the survivor for being courageous. Also close friends of the survivor would reach out and hug and give words of encouragement to the survivors. Also the men who were in the audience were shocked and in disbelief when they heard some of…

    "Acquainted with the Night" by Robert Frost is a poem about a person who is well acquainted with the night. In this poem, the author or the speaker explains why he/she is well acquainted with the night. It seems as the poem progresses that the speaker enjoys walks through the night of a city, and that he also enjoys walks in rainy nights. The speaker goes down a sad area of the city were he encounters a watchman were he/she ignores. When the speakers stop because he/she listens to a cry, which he/she believes is for he/she, as is somebody calling for him/her back or telling him/her goodbye. The cry the speaker heard was not for him/her. Toward the end of the poem the speaker ignores the time in a clock in a sky as is was neither wrong nor right as the speaker has more knowledge of the night than a clock. This poem is about a person who has a more knowledge than anyone or anything else of what the night really means because he/she spend all his nights walking in the night looking for something he lost.…

    Robert Frost, an American-born English poet who could never feel satisfied in one location, constantly sought out travel throughout his hard experiences and times when life felt dull (Pritchard). However cliché the symbol of a journey might appear as life, in Frost’s case the journeys he took really did reflect each element or turning point in his existence. From his birth in 1874 in San Francisco to his move to Lawrence, Massachusetts after his father’s death, to Dartmouth for college, back to Lawrence to work, then to “Virginia's Dismal Swamp” after his later-to-be wife/high school sweetheart, Elinor Miraim White, rejected his first proposal, then his attempt to return to school again at Harvard, then to New Hampshire to settle with his…
