    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

    My featured painting today entitled The Night was painted by Max Beckmann during 1918 and 1919. It is housed at the Kunstammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen‚ Dusseldorf. This is an early example of Beckmann’s grotesque and appalling visionary paintings with its misshapen figures. Before us we have an overcrowded room in a modern city. Beckman himself said he wanted this work to be looked upon as a large modern history painting tinged with a sense of evil. Three men have invaded the room and are terrorising

    The freedom to live Gandhi once said‚ "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind’‚ very much truth can be found in this statement. Is it really moral to give the same punishment to someone that we are punishing them for? The death penalty is a very touchy subject to most for a good reason‚ in my eyes the death penalty is injustice. For reasons such as money‚ religion‚ the principal of knowing right from wrong as well as the wrongly accused‚ and the prolonging suffering of the victims’‚ families
