Reflection Questions 152-156

Why do you think Elie Wiesel wrote this book?
I think Elie Wiesel wrote this book so he can teach us how it was back in the old days and if it ever happens again we would know how to approach it and also he could be telling us this so that we realize that the way were living life now we got it easy and it is not nothing compared to the old days.

Why do you think he chose Night as its title
I think he chose night as the title because as the holocaust was going on he didn't really have any life or time to explore life and also that another reason is that he saw the same thing everyday and he saw black because he didn't see the real world.

How Does Elie change as a result of his experiences in the concentration camp
I think that he changed by when he first got there he was all scared and he saw everything going on and he couldn't believe it and as he experienced when he started seeing them do stuff its like it doesn't matter because he already used to it.

How Does Elie finally come to terms with is ordeal?
Elie comes to ordeal with his experience by teaching it to other people and let them know what happen and to prevent it form happening again and also i think he overlooked his past and started his life off fresh and also i think something like this is hard to put in the past.do you think

Give examples of issues in night that still arise today and what do you think should be done about genocide?
One example of genocide that kind of relates to night is that in south africa young african american people are killing the whites for no reason and i can compare that to the book night becuase the nazi's are killing the jews for no reason and they killed half of the jews and kept there hair and used it to make mattresses not only that they used there bones and put them in the oven and made soil for plant.And i dont think that is fair. Finally i would say that people shouldnt be jugded by the color of there skin.
Another act of genocide that relates to night is that In Sudam at least 250,000 more men,women, and children have died since the Bush Administration.Using the Janjaweed Militia, Sudan's regime has conducted a systemic campaign to kill and drive out Darfur's ethnic Massalit, Fur, and Zhagawa peoples. They attack towns, villages, and refugee camps.They actually kill the men and boys,raped women and girls, and poison the wells. Their goal is to replace these African peoples with Arab people with Arab herders. Another example would be China's "one-child" policy since they tend to keep the boys and men and kill most of the girls; a baby girl was found in the gutter and people just walked by as if it was something normal.Another example would be in Chad, militia brutally attacked villages,raped women and girls, killed the babies. and this relates to night becuase they used to hang and kill people and kill the babys when they used to cry.
Another act of genocide that is happening that kind of reflects with night is that in mexico in juarez. they been killing women because they work and because they want to become students. i think that relates to night because they killed people that just wanted to become good people and wanted to go good but they werent given that oppurtunity its just that the nazi"s kept killing them.

Solving A Problem On The Street

One problem that I see in the streets all the time is that people are always dieing in the streets because they have gang bangers out there that like to kill people and also that you have drunk drivers that drink there life away and cant drive and drive on a rampage and they take an innocents person life away also they kill people because they don’t give them the amount of drugs they owe them.
One solution that I think they can help people stop dying is that if they stop letting these game bangers run wild and free in the streets. I think that every time they see a group of young guys or ladies they should stop them because you don’t know what they have on them. Next thing I think is that they should park there cars in the neiborhoods that are affiliated with gangs for about 1 hour and make sure everything’s is alright. Then I think that they should stop and pull people over if they see them with a lot of guys in the car and they look suspicious I say it wouldn’t hurt to try. Finally I think that they should let young kids hang on the corners and if they do stop and tell them to move or your going to lock them up. Also they should have grown men telling these kids that they shouldn’t be out there killing other people because its not worth it and what you do to others it may come back to you or to somebody you truly love.
My second solution is that they should limit the number of drinks that people buy at the bar at the club another thing is that the state of Illinois should have a rule that you cant leave until somebody picks you up or you call a taxi I say this because you are not only putting your life in danger your putting millions of other people to because the same you have to drive they have to drive to not only that you know we have to here that somebody has died because an idiot on the street was driving drunk not only that there should have the time of the bars open to a certain time and only on the weekend because drinkers that drink 24/7 are going to lose there minds and go crazy so that another solution I think
Finally another soluiton I think is that people are also dying because you hve people that owe other people mney and weed and they don’t want to pay so that they have to go and shoot them or stab them to send out a message that they don’t play also I think we can resolve this by illigilizing weed and offering more jobs in the community and that will open the doors for people to make money and they will have enuff money to buy there own weed

Hansel And The Gretel.

When my family we starving and did’t have anything to eat are parents ended my sister and out into the woods to look for some food that we can use to survive not only that that showed me that my only parents that I thought were going to be there for me forever failed to take care of there kids also another thing is that my sister and I were living with a lady that tried to kill us another thing is it showed me that I cant depend on nobody but my self and that I was trying to collect all the pebbles I can to or keep us alive but not only overhearing my parents say that they are going to send us farther in the woods so that we shall not find are way back I think that my parents were being really greedy and stingy with there food they should gave us the food because were there kids and we got more to live for than what they do they experienced life we haven’t and we could of starvation.

Also thing is that what kind of parents did i have that tyred to throw there kids in the forest just because they didn't have enough food so that are whole family cans live not only that they didn't bother to come out and look for us we went to an old lady's House that helped us but really really she was in it to try to kill us and bake us so that she can have something to eat. but i thought that eve thought i didn't have a place to live i had me and my sister to care of so i defeated the lady and toke over the house and made sure that my sister was eating not only that my mom and dad got what they deserved for throwing us out in the forest died and hour later for the harsh she did to us.

Dr heidegger's experiment

write down your observations on this experiment

As me Dr. Heidegger's i would not receive to take this water because these people only went back in time for a little bit and they got young and started doing the same stuff that they did when they were young instead of doing better while they were older and also they are going to make the same mistakes that they made and why would you wan to go back and experience something that you done once twice and i think that what was the point of taking it because it is going to be there an limited of time and go back so i would that taking that medicine is only going to make you different for hours and then when you take that water all your going to do is fight with your friends over a girl that is a widow and when she was young she was very loose

desiree's baby and the sequel

What i think that is going to happen next is that she is going continue living at home with her mom and the baby and that she is going to be safe with her mom and her son and she is going to find somebody that is going to accept her for her she is and that's what i think is going to happen also another thing is the dad is going to stay single for a little while then he is going to miss his family and he is going to want them back and he is going to do it before it gets to late. also the kid is going to grow up without knowing his dad. and he is going to know that his dad

Flowers For Algernon

If you were given a choice to have an operation that would make you much smarter, would you do it especially if you knew the effects of the surgery would only be temporary why or why not? use examples from the story.

If I was given this choice I would not receive this operation because I think that it would be waste of time and it would’not be worth it because I think that I am smart also I think I should use what I have and I should not take something that is not important also I would say that whatever god gave me he gave it to me for a reason and I should work up to my potential what with I got. And also this surgery will only make you smart for a little bit of time and then you are going to be smart and using all these big words and stuff and then when the smartness goes away your going to be at the level you were at your not going to be smart that is something putting you to sleep and and putting something in your body to make you smarter and basically somebody being smart for you and your not learning nothing and also i would say that you have the ability to learn whatever you want without having this surgery because what god gave he knew we can work up to are potential and we can be successfully with it.
