Holocaust: 911 attack











The meaning of a Holocaust is commonly used to apply to any extensive human disaster. There have been many disasters in our country that have been applied as a Holocaust including, 911, tsunami, and etc.. To me, one of the most remembered disasters that occurred while I was young was the 911 attack in New York City on September 11, 2001.





Many lives were taken by this attack and many hearts were touched in this time by those who put their lives on the line to save someone else's life. People lost husbands', wife's', sons', daughters', mothers', fathers', and grandparents'.






Now that the attack has calmed and the reconstruction is finished, many things have changed in our world. Air flight is much safer and careful with everything.






Even though stereotype people are afraid of the Taliban for attacking our country, I believe we need to be careful with everyone because you never know who is going to attack.





Now that everything is different in the USA since 911 occurred, our country is still united as one and will never give up no matter what kind of Holocaust is happening around us.

AUTHOR: Elie Wiesel






Elie Wiesel is a very strong and tough man. In Night he describes what life was like back during the Holocaust. He tells of all the hardships that him and everyone around him went through.






The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events that had ever occured because so many lives were taken. Elie's writing method was thouroughly descriptive and he did a good job making the reader feel parts of the pain that everyone else felt.






So far in Night Elie Wiesel has got me not wanting to put down the book because of all his descriptive and interesting facts and writing. I would definatley enjoy checking out one of many of his other books and see if the writing is also descriptive.






Back when the Holocaust was going on, many people were killed by the Nazis. They were taken to gas chambers and smothered. The Nazis would just pull out guns and shoot men, women, and children without feeling anything.


The Nazis were very evil people who wanted to kill all of the Jews. In Night, the author, Elie Wiesel, explained some of the times that people went through.

Darkness is a good symbol of the book Night. Darkness is a sign of death and sadness. Many people were murdered in Night so darkness was a good symbol to use.
