    Critical Analysis of Night and Left to Tell

    While reading the books, Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza, and Night by Elie Wiesel, the similarity in person was very prominent. Noticing how closely related these two authors were in their time of struggle and how they conquered their struggles to become survivors. Family, personality, religion, and lifestyle all played separate parts in the story which were told. Though these authors share many similarities, there are still a few ways they differ in the events they were exposed to.…

    The Night Circus displays textual features that reinforce realities socially constructed hierarchy in regards to the masculine and feminine. The male/female binaries and societal denotations for the terms ‘male,’ ‘female’ and terms particular to the magical world such as ‘magician,’ strengthen the authoritative and dominant position of men. Within the first pages of the novel the reader is immediately made aware of the severe power imbalance between the male and female gender, evident through the first meeting between Celia and her father Hector.…

    Summary Of The Night Circus By Erin Morgenstern

    Throughout reading the novel The Night Circus, I noticed the similarities between this world of fiction and the world I currently reside in. This encouraged me to think about the type of person Erin Morgenstern must have been, and the place she must have been in while creating this novel. The references to older works of literature and cleaver use of word play implies that she is the type of person who has spent her while life reading; Someone who has a love for the craft that is writing, over all other activities.…

    Six well-educated Confederate veterans from Pulaski, Tennessee created the original Ku Klux Klan on December 24, 1865, during the Reconstruction of the South after the Civil War.[32][33] The name was formed by combining the Greek kyklos (κύκλος, circle) with clan.[34] The group was known for a short time as the "Kuklux Clan". The Ku Klux Klan was one among a number of secret, oath-bound organizations using violence, including the Southern Cross in New Orleans (1865) and the Knights of the White Camelia (1867) in Louisiana.[35]…

    The Outsiders Movie vs. Book

    One early evening right before dusk, they were playing in the forest dressed as magicians with their black gowns and top hats using tree branches for magic wands, and as they waved their wands they saw a very strange shadow. This shadow was also surrounded by very bright light. Suddenly a voice began to speak; Elisa and Elizabeth were shocked and a little scared too. The echoing voice said “by dawn tomorrow you shall have real magic powers for the rest of your life.” The next morning the girls felt very strange but with lots of energy. They felt like they had a long restful night’s sleep and both couldn’t stop wandering about what they had experienced in the forest the night before. Did they wake up with magic powers? Was that voice of the shadow real? A few hours later, the girls went to their special place in the forest and played magic as usual. But there was something different about their game, every time they swirled and waved their hands with their magic wands their hands and arms would sparkle and glow. Elisa and Elizabeth felt thought something was wrong, they were scared thinking what was happening to them. The girls ran desperately back home and locked themselves in their room so grandmother wouldn’t hear them. They stared at each other confused and surprised they couldn’t believe what they had just seen.

    the night circus

    One of the things we talked about in our group was about Baileys significance in the story. We could not find any real reason that he was there except to add another view point of the circus in the story. Bailey's had his own side story in the book which made the story more real. The second thing that we also discussed was what happened in the story so far. We talked about how the book, “The Night Circus”, is a fairytale most likely set in the Victorian Era . The description of the way the characters talked, the scenery, clothing described as long dresses that went down to the ankle worn with gloves, and the girls hair was styled up in a bun all gave a old time feeling.…

    Literary Analysis of Night

    The Holocaust changed the lives of many people and survivors and had many adverse effects. Some began to question their faith in their beliefs and even questioned their god. They pondered upon the thought of how God could sit idly by and allow the atrocious actions committed within their own homeland be unjustified. Those that survived have many terrifying stories to tell. Many survivors are too frightened to tell their story because their experiences are too lurid to express in words or even comprehend. One of Wiesel's main objectives in writing Night is to remind readers that the Holocaust occurred, and hopes that it will never happen again. Night themes include the inhumanity of humans toward others and how death can cause potent harm to one’s psyche. In Night, Elie Wiesel uses many literary devices such as Tone, Imagery, and Repetition to portray the acts of death and inhumanity as well as their traumatizing effects.…

    "The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture."- Alfred Hitchcock. In the world of film and literature, villains have been used to show the opposite of the hero. Where the hero is strong and makes honorable decisions, the villain is usually self-centered and uses evil to damage the lives of others for his own purposes.
