A few months ago I visited the History Colorado Center museum in Denver. One of the exhibits is about the internment camp Amache-Granada that is located in southeastern Colorado. It was a very nice exhibit‚ during the exhibit a video played that went over the history of Amache and the internment of the Japanese Americans. During the video there was a picture of little girl with her hand over her heart. The voice on the video said “When I went to school on December 8th‚ kids came up to me and shouted

The part that I personally found the most sorrowful in Night written by Elie Wiesel is when he and his father get separated from each other due to his father’s death. The bond between the two was unbreakable and they never thought that they would be able to get through it all without each other. They agreed that neither of them would let this bond fade. This is why when Elie and his father do get separated it is so heartbreaking. They had always agreed that they would of died for one another if it

selection at Birkenau. It is perhaps Night’s most famous passage‚ notable because it is one of the few moments in the memoir where Eliezer breaks out of the continuous narrative stream with which he tells his tale. As he reflects upon his horrendous first night in the concentration camp and its lasting effect on his life‚ Wiesel introduces the theme of Eliezer’s spiritual crisis and his loss of faith in God. In its form‚ this passage resembles two significant pieces of literature: Psalm 150‚ from the Bible

This particular museum exhibits pieces that come from the period of the Ancient Egyptians all the way up to modern art.

During our trip the the Metropolitan Museum‚ our class explored various exhibits‚ including the Greeks‚ early Tribal works‚ Renaissance art‚ and 19th century art. One piece in particular that stood out to me‚ and reminded me of a text we’ve read this semester‚ was Prayer in the Mosque by Jean-Lèon Gèrome in 1871(87.15.130). This oil on canvas depicts the interior of a mosque in seventh century Egypt and reminded me of the readings we had done on Al Andalus from Jarbel Rodriguez‚ where the description
