Wonders that would give you power to work for our mutual benefit. But you, an infidel to the Night, may not learn the extraordinary truth by my bidding. The Night has yet to dwell in your heart, you having been touched by the light of day through your love by another. She still lingers. The Night has decreed that you shall remain in the outer darkness called ignorance." "But how can I break down this strange barrier that precludes our happiness? Can you not leave your husband?" She started. Her lips quivered, and the color left her cheeks. "If I could leave my husband and preserve your life I would. Our only salvation together is for you to enter the Realm of Shadows, or by the other door find the truth to use the gem. Then I can come to you as a lover. To endeavor to learn my secret at present will be futile. Suffice it for you to know that there is more mystery to penetrate than you have ever dreamed of, and that only by finding the truth that dwells afar can you hope ever to bring us nearer to each other to…" A sigh finished the sentence. …show more content…

She paused as though in deep thought. "Then hearken," she said, raising herself upon her arm and looking earnestly at him. "The secret of this, the Eye of the Leviathan, is forbidden you, yet if you dare to travel to a distant country far away over the waterless regions beyond the Marki, if you will penetrate the lands of hostile tribes in the disguise, you can learn that which will give wealth and power and will purchase my dowry to at last bring us together."

    In chapter seven of Night, by Elie Wiesel, one of the most emotional scenes is shared. The Jews are being transported to a different location and the officers begin to throw bread crumbs as a sort of sick, twisted game. They enjoy watching the Jews turn on each other and maim one another just for the smallest crumb of bread. In my cartoon, the first quadrant is the scene where young Eliezer talks about the train ride and how claustrophobic everyone became due to the space provided and the amount of Jews crammed in. The next frame is of the father crawling out of the mob while our main character sat watching.

    Chapter One: Introduction During the English Civil War, in the 1640s, the Earl of Clarendon came up with a novel wheeze: rather than allow those presumed to be parliamentarian enemies to claim the benefit of the rule of law, he would establish a prison on an island off the British shoreline. That way, he reasoned, they could be safely forgotten, buried along with their legal rights. When parliament later looked back on this dark chapter of British history, they passed the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679 to ensure that never again would an unpopular group of people be denied justice. Clarendon was impeached by the House of Commons and fled to France, where he died in exile.

    I don’t think there is another quote out there that can better summarize life under Nazi rule. I think that this quote really gets the point across that if you see something terrible happening, and don’t try to stop it you’re just as bad as the person doing it. This really tells me that you can’t be afraid to speak up for something that is wrong, even if it means death. The quote mentions that if you stand by and lets all these bad things happen, that you are as guilty as the people doing them. I think that is very true, the counties who sat by and watched the holocaust happen are just as bad as the Nazis.

    The anchoring fear and pain that “Night” brought to me gave me chills as I spent my nights thinking about the traitorous ideals that plagued this world in the past. The pain that you and your family felt brought me to tears by the amount of loss that you had to endure. I believe that if I was put in your position years ago I couldn't handle it like you did and have the will to survive day in and day out for the allied forces to save me. Your story gave me a different mindset by teaching me wars need to stop and we all need to come together not as different races or religions but as human beings and as equals. By writing this book you have taught me and generations to come that we need to change this world for the better.
