The Night Katherine Book Report

My book report is for A Night Divided by Jennifer A. Nielsen. I chose this book because it describes the life of a twelve year old girl during the Great Berlin Wall. This book is about a young girl named Greta who is separated from her father and brother because of the Berlin Wall. One day Greta gets a message from her father. She thinks he wants her to start digging a tunnel. Greta finds and old abandoned building where she starts digging. Greta and her brother Fritz work long, tireless, never-ending days digging. One day there was someone of the other side of the tunnel, it was Papa. Once the tunnel was completed they set through it, escaping the treacherous East side, to the colorful bright West.

Only about 3,546,211 people survived the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler was the main leader of the Holocaust, he did this because of his discrimination of Jews. There were more than just Jews killed, there were gay people, priests, gypsies, people with mental or physical disabilities, communists, trade unionists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, anarchists, Poles and other Slavic peoples, and resistance fighters. The Holocaust happened between 1933 through 1945 in Germany and Poland. Night, is an autobiography written by Elie Wisel who was involved in the Holocaust. Auschwitz Death Camp, it is a video documentary of the death camp including Elie Wisel and Oprah Winfrey. The truth about the Holocaust to me is horrendous, all the torturing they had to go through

At the beginning of these chapters they thought their luck was changing, but sadly it was not. The Kommandant and the Oberscharfuher were talking about how Roosevelt was dead and how they would win. After this happened they shortly arrived at Lager Tekla a small Hungarian Jewish women’s camp. Magda was separated from the them because she was already a Lager worker. Magda’s barrack was bombed out, but she escaped just in time and joined jutka and mother. They were later herded to Schonau Lager. At this camp they were a little scared of the americans constant bombing. At this new camp there were some captured soldiers who offered bits and pieces of information about what was going on in the war. Jutka, Magda, and mother were forced to go on a march, but

Ready Player One hits some of the same situations as in the holocaust or for the book that we read “Night” like taking people spread out over a good area and combining them into a small dense area. They both also touch on the topic of how when someone is killed or something is blown up now one raises an eyebrow or if they do no one does anything about it.

No one likes being treated poorly. Throughout history, countless wars have been fought, whether they had a reason or not. Many people have suffered due to these wars. People have become POW’s (prisoners of war), have lost their homes because of the conflicts, and have even had to leave their homelands. Take this more relevant example in Syria, for example. Thousands of Syrians are leaving their households to escape the everlasting conflicts of war. Just like in history’s past wars, many civilians have been forced to leave their homes in order to stay safe. Modern and past wars seem to repeat themselves in a way. The theme of Elie Wiesel’s book Night is to show that through dehumanization, there is more silence, less faith, and an eternity of night.

Imagine being forcibly stripped of all of your belongings, being separated from your family, and struggling to survive alone in an unfamiliar place that emits the aroma of freshly burnt flesh. The book Night by Elie Wiesel is an autobiography that depicts his lasting experience with horrors of the Holocaust. The book is written from Eliezer’s perspective and recounts his remarkable story. The memoir exhibits three prominent themes: the relationship between father and son, a loss of faith, and inurement.

I read the book An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. The main characters are Colin Singleton, Hassan, Lindsey and Hollis. Colin Singleton was a child prodigy but once he got older he was not as smart as he thought he was. He was just an average nerd. When he was a child he had a tutor/ teacher named Krazy Keith, he had a daughter named Katherine and she became Katherine I. After Colin and Katherine I dated and broke up, he thought that all girls named Katherine were just like her

Mother Night exemplifies binary opposition through the theme “We are who we pretend to be therefore we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” Howard Campbell is the imprisoned narrator who was captured due to him broadcasting Nazi propaganda on a radio station. He has many different guards throughout the day; however, one stands out in particular: Arpad Kovacs, the boisterous and flamboyant night guard. He is an oxymoron in that: “Arpad, faced with the problem of being a Jew in Nazi Hungary...joined the Hungarian S.S.” ( Vonnegut, 36). Being forced to constantly impersonate a Nazi, Arpad’s ideology and morals begin

Remember the refrain: We always build on the past; the past always tries to stop us. Freedom is about stopping the past, but we have lost that ideal-Lawrence Lessig. This quote is helpful to remember. We should always keep our head in the present but never forget what happened in the past to bring us here today, and be grateful for our current status.The holocaust was an important event in the past that we shouldn’t forget. There are many stories, biographies and autobiographies written about it today. Night by Elie Wiesel, an autobiography about the holocaust, should be a required high school reading because it is an important event, of many, that show us why we should be grateful for our current state.

After reading the book “Night” I wanted to know why people try to put others down to make them feel better about themselves. I’m writing this paper because I don’t like that people are stereotypical and racist. This topic doesn’t really interest me, it just makes me curious as to why people are like this. Did something happen to them to make them hate on others? Are they just like that? Reading about the holocaust and how they were treated really made me want to why people treat others like that. In “Night” all the prisoners are treated as if they aren’t human, they’re treated like animals and I don’t know why the officers try to dehumanize them for their race but it is really sad. The prisoners had to run miles after not eating for

The “Night Witches” were all-female air force units from the Soviet Union that dropped bombs over nazis during World War II. They were the creation of Maria Raskova, the first female navigator in the Soviet Air Force. Women from all over the Soviet Union were allowed to apply. Most of the hundreds of women who were chosen were young students (between the ages of 17 and 26), all of whom were further educated at Engels School of Aviation. The squadron was created because Raskova was receiving many letters from women who wanted to be a part of the World War II fight. The first mission was on June 28, 1942 and the last was on June 28, 1942. Afterwards, many of the pilots awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.

The Holocaust was a mass genocide which killed six million European Jews by Hitler’s Nazi’s that lasted for 12 years. This mass killing event left a mark in history, this was an act against humanity. The book “Night” was a written perspective from Elie Wiesel, who was kept in one of the most dangerous camps with his family in Auschwitz, during the Holocaust. A letter was written by Regina Kandt to her lover while she was transitioning to a camp, and a photograph was taken during the Holocaust of the aftermath of the mass killing genocide. All of these sources connect to the loss of religious faith because everyone had a loss of hope the victims depending on their value of family and their relationships to survive.

The story called “Night Women” by Edwidge Danticat and the story called “The Awakening” by Crystal Wilkinson portray womanhood in different ways. However, both stories are very interesting and convey powerful ideas to the readers. Although the portrayal of womanhood is different, they share some similarities.
