REFLECTION QUESTIONS ON NIGHT

why do you think Elie Wiesel wote this book?
I think that he worte this book because he wanted to tell his story. Of what he went through. to show them how they were treated. That people knew that it was going on but they did not thing to stop it. So he wanted to show what him and his familywent through.

why do you think thathe chose night as it title?
i think that he chose that title because it was alway night for him. there was no way that you can be happy whne your in the place that he was in. so to him it might have been alway night to him.

How does Elie change as a result of his experiences in the concentration camp?
He change alot when he first went to the camp he was scared of what was going to happen to him. with the things that he saw when he first got there he couldnt believe that it was happening. but when he was there for along time and he saw everything and it was the same thing all over again he really didnt matter anymore. to him it was nothing he was not scared any more because he went through with it already.

how does Elie finally come to the terms with his ordeal?(what does he finally do)
He comes to his ordeal when he see that there was no way out. that when he was there for alongtime and there was no hope for the other peole to come and help them. so he knew that he had to try and see if he can live it out and he had to make it to the end.

Give examples of issues in the night that are still arise today and what do you think should have been done?
what had happened in night and what had happened in night was baout the same. They were not to have any food or water they had to do alot of work. there were not to been married. They were not to have and kids at all. in night that had went through the same thing they had went throught the same kind of torture. the women they were rape. if they did anything worng they were killed. when they will kill them they will torture in many ways they did expermients on them. They wanted them to see how long it will take them to die. what happening in cuba was the same thing that happened in the book night. they were not people they were given other names. or they were given numbers as there name. and that what theyhad to be known as. they were not called by there real name. they were called by they numbers that they were given. they had to wear different clothes to show what they were if they were jews or any other race. that awhat they did in cuba and that what they did in the book night.

waht happen in ethiopa was alomost the same to what happen to Elie what happen there was that they took all the men and the boys ut of the house they took them and they beat them. they they told thme to run but when that ran they thathad shot them. but what had happen in night they had stayed there. they were nict to them for them not to think anything of it. Then when itwas time for people to leave the were beating them and doing other things to them. in stead of them burning the house in night they just keft them there. but the people in ethopia they were buring down the house.

what was happening in south africa was that they were killing all the farmers. they were either killing them. or they were just beating them to death. there was more farmers that were killed then beatetan. but what had happen to Elie in night it was way wort what they did to them. but most of the farmers that were attack was the boers farmers. they were the ones that were getting beat the most. and they were the ones that were getting killed the most to. but the other farmers they were beaten to but the the other farmers they were killed and beaten way more. but for elie it was that they just didnt like them at all they beat them all the same. also that in south africa they were killing the white people. and with Elie the german were the people that were killing other people that were not germans.

what had happen in the somalia was that they had went the mass killing. and it got really bad it was so many eople that were dying. and that they had many killing that the goverment had to came and help some of the people to a safe place. but for the peole in night they didn have that good of a chance to have peole to come and save them right away. they had to wait along time for the people to come and help them and for them to be free.

then what had happen in Iran was that theyhad betrayed there people. they had went on and killing there own people. was that they went and they started to kill there own people. they killed there own people by haning them. They killed the people that they found out questing the sharia law. the people from night they were kiled for them being a different race. they were killed or they were put in camps were they had to work. they were didnt have anything. theydidnt have any food or water. they had to work for it. but what they did get was so little that it didnt help them.

solving a problem on the streets.

I think the biggest problem that are on the streets that it really big is the streets violence. And I can give you three reason why
So much violence that children cant play outside
You cant look at somebody with out them getting mad
You cant wear what you want in school because of the gangs that are around.
You children and not going to be able to play where they want. You have cant look around with out other people thinking your talking about them and you cant the clothes that you want to wear.

There is to much violence that you children cant play outside with out them being botter by the gang members and they try to show them that if there it the gang it will be better for them.
then when the children are out side the gang members walking around and some other gang that don’t like them they come and shoot at them they can hit one of the little kids that are there.

Also when they are selling drugs and when your kids see something like that they think that they are going to say something and that they will try to do something to them to make them stay quiet.

you cant wear the clothes that you want because of the gangs that are around you.
Then cant wear what ever color you want because of the gangs that live by you
Then you will get into a fight with the other gangs because of the colors that you are wearing.
Then at school you cant wear the colors that you want because there are many differenent children that came from differnet gangs and that will start more trouble.
you cant even look at the wrong way with out them getting in your face.
When your outside you cant even look our your block because they might think that your looking at them.
even when your walking around with people that are in your family they will start something when you didn’t do anything.
Also that when you are by your self and not doing any thing they will come up to thinking that you were look at them when you were not even looing at them.

I think the biggest problem that are on the streets that it really big is the streets violence. Where you have to because where you say or how you look around. Or even what colors you clothes are. These effects a lot of people that are around you cause they cant do anything or play or look where you want to because they are there.

O HENRY

I think that o Henry stories are good. They had alot of detail that are put into them. like in The princess and the puma . like he describe they way became king. also that when he was really not that mean. like at first he had a soft voice. but then when he become king he had a really loud voice. Also that they had when they animals left and ran away from them. but it was a good stories they had put alot of things into it.

Another story that i read from o Henry was that Tommy burglar. it was a very funny story. i like when the little kid started talking to him. that he was not scared of him. that he was talking to him. He didnt tell no body that he was there. He feed him gave him something to drink. Then he let him leave with out getting into trouble.

I also read the afternoon miracle. was OK. it had alotof detail they had every little thing that it said. it had where they talking. also that it every thing that they did. they had when there were fighting.also that it gave alot of detail on how they look and they were dress.
