Night Descriptive Writing
All I heard was dogs barking. I rolled over and looked at the time. It was 6:48. I got up and got dressed. Mom was already waiting for me downstairs. We went outside and walked down the road to the bus stop. I was so sleepy but I had already made a commitment and I just couldn’t back out. The bus came and we got on. It was so warm and toasty, the perfect atmosphere to take a nap. Within minutes my eyes started to droop, I just couldn’t keep them open. Then without even realizing it, I was fast asleep.
I woke up when the bus hit a speed bump. I looked at the time. I would be late to my art classes if the bus wouldn’t hurry up. A few minutes later, the bus came to a stop and we got off. We walked up 3 blocks and turned left. We had finally reached the building. I walked in and immediately took my art supplies out of my bag. My teacher told me to draw the statue that he had placed in front of me on my desk. My mind froze but I didn’t let it physically show. I didn’t know where to start. I looked at the statue of the man to figure out the basic shapes and started from there.

I just couldn’t figure out how to show the movement of the arm. It didn’t help that the arm of the statue was not proportionally correct. The arm was long and thin but when I drew it, it was too long and too thin. When I drew it again, it became too thick and too short. After about 20 minutes of just working on the arm, I gave up. I was so frustrated and I just didn’t know how to make it look right. I looked over to my left to where another girl was working. I looked at her artwork and was amazed. Her picture of the glass bottle was phenomenal. The dark charcoal marks and highlights on the paper made it look so realistic. Her success encouraged me to keep on working. I wanted my artwork to be just as good as hers. After erasing, and redrawing the arm multiple times, it started to look decent. It was finally time to work on my favorite part,

    I closed my eyes and as I opened them I was looking straight at my mother. That instant our eyes were locked I never wanted the lock to break. Another tear slipped down, and I could taste the salty warmth on my tongue. The crash took five seconds but it felt like ten years. This time I heard the words “I’m wrong mom. I’m sorry mom.” In an instant the noise grew so loud it seemed like I was standing in the middle of a nuclear bomb. Not a second later it was silent and the world around me went pitch…

    “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed.” (Night 24) Never shall I forget reading that bone chilling quote from Elie Wiesel’s novel Night, Taking place during one of the darkest periods of human history. 6 million lives lost and countless families destroyed with one goal in mind; Exterminate the Jews. Throughout his novel Wiesel experiences many instances of hope and hopelessness, as many of us do. Without hope many things that we try to accomplish could not be done, hope is what helps us carry on and survive, Night proves this point.…

    When people lose their dignity, they also lose a part of the very thing that makes them human. Despair, hopelessness, fear and apathy are all ways a human can lose their humanity. The eyes provide a window onto the soul, and thus a view on the person's mental state. The eyes also function in reverse, as a symbolic gesture of control over someone. All of this is present in Night, by Elie Wiesel, an account of human tragedy, human cruelty, human dignity, and the loss thereof.…

    Throughout high school and previous situations I have engaged in all of the modes of W.O.V.E. I personally believe that I rely on the subject to perform well while communicate. One such instance of comparison was in high school English our class was required to write an eight to twelve minute oral report over the book Night by Elie Wiesel. I struggled to reach the minimum requirements of the assignment. I simply couldn’t motivate myself as it wasn’t exciting.…

    The glistening, white snow fell slowly to the ground outside the window. The distinct shapes of the snowflakes shown; the light from the street lamp seeping through the cracks. The mumble of the heater in the corner of the room; the faint sound of the blood dripping onto the floor were the only sounds. He lay there; motionless. The thuds were entering the silent room once again. The creaking of the wooden floor grew louder and louder. Still the light of the street lamp shone through the window and onto the far wall. The nasty figure walked into the murky room. Only its shadow appeared on the far wall behind it. The boy in the bed was Eli. His tiny eight year old body was red with his own blood. Then……

    Elie Wiesel recalled a moment where he felt devoured by reality when he saw that, “men, women, and children were being burned and that the world kept silent!”(Wiesel 55). Knowing that there were people that could’ve avoid this situation can acknowledge anguish ness. Two sententious themes for inhumanity is the loss of religious faith and the animalization of humans.…

    There we observed the change in the form of statues. Being able to see the statues and painting we’ve studied and saw in our textbook in real life amused me. Being able to go up to them and look at the details rather than staring at the photographs also made me more interested in the art itself. For this assignment I decided to compare “Seated Statue of Gudea” and “Statue of Eros Sleeping”.…

    I like the use of scrap coper, how he uses scrap copper to make such a work of art. The texture that was created is very realistic, especially with the pants’ cresses. I feel like Steve could have imported on the facial features but I think that must do with length of being out in the open and damaged from mother nature. The pedestal I think takes a little less focus on the statue it becomes a small distraction but I understand if Steve’s attention was to distract his audience to read the information that is displayed. And the way its position to the surrounding of the art piece, to even the location of the art piece, it all goes very well everything connects. With having the piece being out in the open and have a rotational point of view I could point out what the most effective part of the piece is the wounded soldier. I feel like he was the most effective because in a way I could see his pain and see the journey in which he went through, through his eyes, posture, and clothing. I do believe what could be improved would be if the wound on the wounded soldier was visible, if it was visible I could not only see the tragedy he went through but also feel his pain. This work of art is compared to others by showing emotion and pain. This sculpture is to represent a historian event and I feel that all work of art comes down to a historian event that has happen to either the artist or worldwide historian event; tourist attack,…

    It had been a crazy morning as I ran all over my house trying to find my jacket and boots. My mom had been admitted into the hospital that morning for a massive headache and all I could think about was whether or not she would be okay. I took her to the emergency room that day before so going to class was the last thing on my mind. My father and sister had agreed to stay with her till I ended class so I was more at ease knowing she wouldn’t be alone. After running all over my house looking for my things I quickly gathered myself to make my train. I finally got to Penn Station with four minutes to spare. I quickly walked to where the rest of my class was as we waited for instructions to where we would…

    Night Memoir Paper

    • 1259 Words
    • 6 Pages

    I choose the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel. It is a book about his experience, and also his family’s experiences throughout the holocaust. This book follows Elie and some of his family and friends from shortly before the holocaust all the way to his first moments being a free man. It describes his memories, his hopes, and his dreams. At certain points he almost gave up but he continued, survived, and got his horrifying message out to the world so people can look back on one of the worst parts of human history. The memoir genre feels like the author is just talking to you normally and telling you a story about a certain memory in his life. He really wants you to connect with the people he talks about and especially his family. This book is easily understandable if you have any idea of what the holocaust was. The way he writes this memoir, it is easy for you to get into the book and really start to see what he was seeing at the time. He has a couple main themes like his relationship with his father and darkness. However unlike a normal book, I feel he didn’t focus on the themes as much as he did as just getting the story out naturally. Books that usually are the memoir genre are about a big event in someone else’s life like a million little pieces, or about an event that affected everyone’s life like Night and the holocaust. I personally like memoirs over biography’s because they are more concise and have a narrower target audience. When I go to a library and pick up a memoir, I can usually tell if I’m going to like it or not because it tells you exactly what the author is going to talk about. If I read a biography, I could like the part of it that was interesting but not liked the parts I didn’t want to read about. An example is if I would want to read about the holocaust. I would rather read a memoir about the holocaust specifically than a biography that talk about the person’s life more before and after the event. I was fairly familiar with this genre before reading…

    Formal analysis focuses on what elements are being used in the artwork. This statue, made from marble, uses two key elements in art. Those elements are the use of line and texture. When looking at the statue you can see the use of line. Starting from Psyche’s there is a line that makes the eye travel up her body which leads to her arms wrapped around Cupid’s head. What this is able to do it to get the onlooker’s eye to go directly to the focal point of the piece that tells a lot of the story is the faces of Psyche and Cupid. Line also is able to take your eye around the sculpture, this allows for the entire full round sculpture to be seen. Allowing that to occur gives the on-looker the ability to see detailing that helps them see the story throughout the work. Texture, if you were to go up to the sculpture and feel it, something that is not advised, would be very smooth. By having the work be smooth instead of rough, helps with the overall feeling that may be provoked when looking at the painting. The sculpture, if not knowing the background, is a able to create and airy romantic sense about it which allows the on-looker a more deeper outlook of what may be going on is the sculpture.…
