Quote Analysis 3 & 4

Quote: " Let the world learn of the existence of Auschwitz. Let everybody hear about it, while they can still escape . . . ." (Wiesel 40).
Analysis: The other man who said this was a  rebel but only to a certain extent. What is saying is that to whom of those who could escape to spread the word of the cruelty and death that is occurring at Auschwitz. I believe by the man using 'existence' he really meant by the truth of it. He is saying that people don't really know the truths of concentration camps and they go to the extent of being recalled as death camps. 

Quote: "Yitgadal veyitkadach shme raba . . . . May His Name be blessed and magnified . . . ." (Wiesel 42).

Analysis: Elie's father seems to know what this man is feeling and what is mostly likely going to happen to him. 'May His Name be blessed and magnified' is almost the same meaning as 'May His Soul rest in peace'. Elie's father knows that in the near future he, along with hundreds and thousands others, will be killed and burned in the crematorium. He knows what the man that is praying is feeling because he is feeling the same at that very moment. I think what Elie's father did was the respectful thing to do and is a sign of strength at this low point in time.

Quote Analysis

Quote: "Well, there you are, you see! What did we tell you? you wouldn't believe us. There they are your Germans! What do you think of them? Where is their famous cruelty?" (Wiesel 19).
Analysis: The people of the town who bought to this act that the Germans were pulling really were blinded. Their denial of the Germans and their plans have blinded them of what truly behind their smiles. This quote has a little bit of dramatic irony because we, the readers and moche, are the only ones knowing of the German's plans for the town. The people of the town are blind and gullible. They take what they believe is not possible over someone who is mentally, physically, and emotionally damaged from what the Germans have done to him. I believe the people are too stuck up and fearful of the truth to believe a man from the ghetto.



Quote: "You can't understand. I have been saved miraculously. I managed to get back here. Where did I get the strength from? I wanted to come back to Sighet to tell you the story of my death. So thet you could prepare yourselves while there was still time. To live? I don"t attach my importance to my life any more. I'm alone. No, I wanted to come back, and to warn you. And see how it is, no one will listen to me . . ." (Wiesel 17).

Analysis: Moche seemed true and scared from what he has experienced. His wounds run deep in both his flesh and mind. Moche has changed to only help the people who once cared for him to safety and avoid the Germans. He almost seems to say that his past self died back in those woods where he witness and was apart of just the beginning of the German's cruelty. He speaks with truth in his words and no man or madman would be able to say or think of such things. Nor would a man come back with wounds deeper damage to ones self without good reason. I think Moche is speaking of the truth, because no man would come up with such lies of people of his own town being killed in the masses without hesitation or thought of human dignity.

It was a bright and sunny day at the normal battlefield. The air smelt of paint and compressed air. Men with a few women among the mix yelling to their teammates. Yelling positions of the yellow enemy. Thumbs of bullets and bodies hitting barriers and grass with a frighting noise. Thousands of dollars worth of equipment being hit and tossed around like toys, some breaking and others barely making it. Players moving so fast it looks inhuman and accuracy so precise that they could hit you between the goggles from other side of the playing field. Whole fighting ground painted the colors of orange and green, including the players.
    
Swiftly and skillfully he finds his target, having no thought of showing mercy to his opponent. In his blue attire he crouches down, making sure not to be seen by the enemy. Hot and sweaty he waits for the perfect moment to spring. Panting profusely he gets in position, ready to strike with extreme motives. He jumps, with extreme speed and finesse dodging all incoming projectiles. He spots his target dressed in yellow, weak and helpless, unknowing of his charging enemy. The soldier leaps over his short obstacle with confidence, knowing he has his enemy in sights and not losing him. His target, still unknowing of what is about the pain coming to him, is crouched behind a larg barrier thinking he is safe. Mean while, the man in the air has an evil grin on his face growing ever so slightly. He takes aim and fires on his enemy, striking him derectly upon his head full of hair. Orange paint splatters on and around him. In rather intense pain he relizes he has been hit and is taken out of the current match.

Whatever I Want

     The perfect world would be my perfect world. A perfect world is any one's wildest dream. Every person you know would say that they would love to live in their own perfect little world. However, i think my perfect world would be the best of them all! My perfect world would appeal to almost every one's interest. My perfect little world will be all dreams combined into one but the major things sticking out the most.

     My perfect world would start out with clothes, shoes, and bling, all of my favorite styles and colors all in one place. It is always best to look your best at all times of the day and night. The next thing would be recreational centers and arcades within walking distance from where ever I go. All the best in technology in one area, an entertainment region you may call it. Sports and games played every day. School learned from the comfort of your bed or couch.

     No violence and no crimes ever comitted, and no tax or bills the people have pay. The world can thrive without draining the pockets of the people who earn the money that they should choose to spend. No earthquakes or hurricans, no natural disasters. No illnesses and traffic controlled by computerized vehicles. A colorful and teaming world with no flaws. My world would be absolutely perfect in all ways!
