The theme that I choose that impacts Elies life experiences is family. The reason I chose family is because I believe having his family involved in everything just makes it so much worse of an experience but it makes it easier to survive for him because he has his father to help him with anything and he can help his father. “ don't worry son. Go to sleep. I'll watch over you.’ ‘You first father. Sleep” (Wiesel 89). I can connect to this theme because when family is their to help you everything is so much easier to me. No matter how hard the task is or what you have to do family always helps. Another reason I chose family is because Elie's family was always giving him emotional and mental support even when he doesn't know it. “But deep inside, I knew that sleep meant to die. And something in me rebelled against that death” (Wiesel 89). I can connect to this theme because the thought of a family member leaving you is unbearable so when you put yourself in a family member's shoes losing you is also hard on them so you have to stay for them and for what they would do without you.

    I agree with your statement. I was surprised that elie hung on to his father. Elie and his dad have a very strong connection.

Much Like those innocent lives taken Without Reason. And Now It Spreads Finding New places to Go To run Taking lives needlessly. Mourning the lives of the innocent Jews

Blog Post #2 - Artifact Jacob Thompson https://collections.ushmm.org/iiif-b/assets/783591 What I see in the mid picture is a Nazi motorcade that is carrying Adolf Hitler at the 1933 Summer Olympic Games, the last one before multiple were suspended due to the Second World War. In the top left, I see a set of pillars acting as a sort of wall and a part of the main pillar structure. In the top right, I see the top right half of the pillar structure. In the bottom left, I see one car in the motorcade, as well as a crowd of onlookers. In the bottom right, I see the rest of the motorcade and the rest of the crowd.

Unseeing Eyes - Night Found Poem

Unseeing Eyes The stars were but sparks of the immense conflagration that was consuming us This conflagration to be extinguished one day Nothing would be left in the sky Nothing but extinct stars and unseeing eyes We looked past We saw danger We felt threatened But there were only petrified people on the other side There was no danger We had no right We took everything from them We were the judge and executioner We judged because we thought we were better We thought we were doing it for our people For our leader   They had rights They had lives to live Stories to tell There are no stars to see Everything in the sky has been extinguished We blew out the fire We took everything for granted We didn’t see Unseeing eyes in the sky
