For one of following themes and write a short essay answer describing how they work in the memoir.  You should give 2-3 examples of scenes that reinforce you ideas.

 

     FAMILY: At the beginning of the book, prisoners in the concentration camps hold on to their family members. The most important thing is to stay with your family members as long as possible. However, as the book progresses, a major conflict in the book arise: self-preservation vs. love and loyalty to family.

 

2.     FAITH: Throughout the book, Elie presents the Jewish faith during a time of extreme darkness. The things Elie witnesses as a child cannot, in his mind, be reconciled alongside the idea of God. Throughout the book, he “loses his faith”. Is man stronger than God?

 

3.     DECEPTION: Especially self-deception – is a powerful force in Night. Self-deception has two primary results: boosting morale and hope, but also deluding the Jews and leaving them vulnerable.

 


 IDENTITY: In the beginning of Night, Eliezer identity is that of an innocent child, a student of Talmud, and a devout Jew. But the concentration camps experience strips him (and his fellow Jewish prisoners) of his identity. Eliezer’s identity upon entering the concentration camp is that of a child, a student of Talmud. What is his identity when he leaves?

The Split-Cherry Tree

Today we are going to work on the questions below (I'll give you 15 minutes), then we are going to take notes on dialect and imagery and read "The Split-Cherry Tree". 1) Compare and contrast Montresor and General Zaroff: how they think, how they view the world, how they view others, how they view themselves, the places they live, how they act—in essence compare their emotional, mental, and physical existences. 2) Why does Montresor feel justified in carrying out his plan against Fortunato? 3) Which character traits make Fortunato such an easy prey for Montresor (needs to be more than just his “connoisseurship in wine”. 4) In what ways are Montresor and Fortunato alike? How are they different? 5) List an irony of situation, a verbal irony, and a dramatic irony found in "The Cask of Amontillado". 6) List and explain one symbol in the story.  "The Split Cherry Tree" - story    We are going to take notes on Imagery and Dialect, and the look at th...
