The Book of Jonah is a special and interesting book in the Hebrew Bible. Unlike other eleven prophets’ books which focus on the prophecies from the Lord‚ the Book of Jonah is a book which focuses on the prophet himself.

However‚ the Book of Jonah does not tell the readers about Jonah’s

Segment A of Oracle night was a very interesting segment‚ it was like an introductory segment where we got introduced to the main characters‚ and to Austers style of writing. The first thing that interested me in segment A was Paul Austers style of writing. Auster did not divide his novel into chapters but kept a continuous flow of ideas. In addition to that‚ Auster goes back and forth in time not keeping a constant writing tense. Another aspect of Auster writing that I found interesting was his

The concentration camp transformed Elie into a shell of a man. Elie would never quite have the same philosophical views or the same outlook on family as he did before experiencing the atrocities Hitler had waiting for him in the camps. Elie also would never be able to view himself quite the same when he looked in the mirror. In the beginning of the memoir‚
