There is a very thin line between the person who you were and the person that you are right now. As humans, we experience millions of events that can affect and change our perspective on aspects throughout the course of our lives. Similar to caterpillars, we cannot be innocent and childish forever. There is a time for everybody to transform into something beautiful, and everybody’s time is different. Change can be good or bad, but most importantly, change helps us grow and become the people we were meant to be. How are we supposed to mature and enjoy our lives if we cannot accept the differences that life presents? For many people, metamorphosing is difficult because sometimes it can be a challenge to let go of something that was always a part of ourselves, such as letting go of a teddy bear, or a blanket, but for other people, it can be almost instantaneous.…

Night is the narration of an experience filled with darkness, sadness, silence and at times also death. on the second section of this novel (page 21-24), a dark and angry pictures of human nature emerged . The Jews was deported to the concentration camps riding in a cattle wagon, treated like caged animals. They are tormented by nearly unbearable conditions. There is almost no food to it, no air to breathe, the heat is intense, there is no room to sit and everybody is hungry and thirsty. During the journey, Madame Schachter, a woman of about fifty, had gone out of her mind. The separation and the oppressive treatment had completely broken her.by the third night of their trip, while everyone is asleep, she cried, “Fire! I can see a fire! I can see a fire!” Her screams became sickening in the ears of the other deportees and made them fear of the worst. Some tried to calm Madame Schachter and the others tied her up, gagged her and beat her into silence. This novel demonstrates that cruelty breeds cruelty. Instead of comforting each other in times of difficulty, the Jews respond to their circumstances by turning against one another. Madame Schechter’s fellow Jews lose all their good morals and social affection. Instead of stopping those who are doing the beating to the poor woman, they vocally support them." Make her be quiet! She’s mad! Shut her up! She’s not the only one. She can keep her mouth shut ... “. Even the mothers like Madame Schachter cooperated and encouraged others in torturing her in front of her ten year old son. One of the circumstances that allow for this darker side of human nature to emerge is because of the oppressive treatment by the German officers and the Hungarian police. The Jews were threatened by the words of the German officer, “If anyone is missing, you'll all be shot, like dogs ...". The Jews have been influenced by their oppressors and so they tried to be eminent among others including Madame Schachter. By treating the Jews less than…
to themselves, Frost uses this to tell the story in ‘The Wood-Pile’ showing how this poem is moving forward it is an expedition. ‘The hard snow held me, save where now and then’ the words used here come across as very harsh as snow is normally soft not hard, this inflicts the change in the nature in the area of where the narrator is it always uses visual imagery so the picture of the woods is shown. ‘A small bird flew before me’ A technique that Frost uses is anthropomorphism which is used for the bird, as he shows him as if it is his "last stand".…

The denotative meaning this poem is a man with his horse and carriage stopping by woods on a snowy night. Just the title of this poem gives the reader a sense of calmness that comes with the image of a snowy evening in the woods. Frost could have used a different wording for his title of this poem, such as "Stopping the Carriage in a Forest During a Snowstorm on a Dark Night," but he chose the words snowy evening and woods for his title instead. I think that snowy is possibly the softest derivative for snow in the English language, it has no hash syllables. Evening is another word that is very soft and peaceful sounding, especially when combined with snowy.…
We start off the poem with Frost imagining a forest of bent birch trees. He wishes that the trees were bent by children playing on them, a nostalgic, childhood merriment that Frost once engaged in when he was a child, but we’ll get more into that later. Despite his lofty indulgence, he knows what really causes the birches to bend, and that is the “ice-storms”. Using this fact, he goes on to elaborate on the beauty of birch trees; such as comparing the falling ice from the trees as “crystal shells”, or as “the inner dome of heaven had fallen” and even going on to say the trailing leaves were “like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair before them over their heads to dry in the sun”. He tends to lose himself in this embellished fabrication…
