    Journal #1: Authors Purpose “‘Men to the left! Women to the right!’ Eight words spoken quietly‚ indifferently‚ without emotion. Eight simple short words. Yet that was the moment when I left me mother. There was no time to think‚ and I already felt my father’s hand press against mine: we were alone. In a fraction of a second I could see my mother‚ my sisters moving to the right (29).” I find that this is Wiesel’s purpose for writing Night because this quote starts his journey in the Holocaust.

    • 3 Pages

Most people would never do some bad to a person they deem equal to oneself‚ so the cruelty started out slow‚ first jews were not allowed to marry any germans‚ then they could not hire any female citizen under the age of 45‚ and they are not allowed

    Twelfth Night Review On the 2nd of December I visited the Apollo Theatre to watch �Twelfth Night�. Prior to entering the theatre I had expectations that the director would create a modernised play . When we entered‚ upon the stage the actors were preparing‚ I could see that they were dressed in Elizabethan fashion and realised that my initial thoughts were wrong. The actors dressing on stage revealed the honesty of the theatre and displayed the original clothing that this production was using

    Buchenwald‚ and the like came out changed men and women‚ and not for the better. While some‚ such as Elie Wiesel‚ were able to contribute to the world and keep alive the memory of the victims of the Holocaust‚ many left the experience shells; shadows of their former selves. So much had changed during their time in the concentration camps and they had lost so much of their dignity and identity. This issue is a major aspect of the novel Night. The characters in Night are subjected to ghastly horrors at the
