Why did Elie Wiesel choose "Night" as his title for his memoir?

At night you fall asleep and dream and at times you have nightmares.  Elie Wiesel may have looked at his whole expierence as a nightmare and it's hard to think that something like the holocaust could actually happen

"The Road Not Taken" because it talks about the choices people have to make in their life. At least once in a while we all have to choose between two roads because we "can´t travel both".

I think the theme of the poem relates to the nature of the world and appreciating life.\n\n"Light takes the Tree" may refer to darkness when the sun sets (as fits with your interpretation "I am born to die"). The line about the worm climbing the stair refers to a struggle against great odds.\n\nI think the poet is saying to take your time in life and to learn how to live your life as you go.

That's a tough one. I'm not sure exacly who I'd pick, but I wouldn't pick someone extremely famous like a President because I personally think that'd be boring. I had to read a biography on Bill Clinton one time and it was so boring I had to read it standing up so I didn't fall asleep. I'm not sure if you've ever read the book Night, by Elie Wiesel... It's technically a memoir, not an autobiography, but you could ask if that's okay. It's a life-changing book about a Holocaust survivor, and I strongly reccomend it.

Wow, this poem is something else. By that I mean it is really abstract in its language and in its metaphors. I have a guess on it's meaning, but that is merely a guess. This author is using so much personal experience that it is hard for me as a reader to really connect well with what is being said, but here is my hypothesis:\n\nFirst of all, I think the title "Call It Fear" needs to be kept in mind when reading through the entire poem. The structure and the wording is suggestive of a person who is caught in the panic of fear ("call it an ocean of fear of the dark"). So, it can easily be assumed that this poem is analyzing fear and the essence of fear in the human mind.\n\nThe author has this deep fear, a fear of the dark, or possibly a fear of the unknown. The author is not alone however as she has found someone, referred to as Goodluck, who also has the same fear. They have come together to escape the fear, and their only escape has been found in the music that they have found on the radio, the church music that plays on a lot of stations on Sunday mornings. \n\nThere is also a question of the repeated imagery of "a string of shadow horses kicking and pulling me out of my belly." This image is repeated in the first and third stanzas and is linked to anxiety, the butterfly feeling that everyone gets in the pit of their stomach when they are controlled by fear. The idea of "shadow horses" seems to suggest the idea that death is pulling and tugging at the speaker of this poem, and it is the fear of death that drives the speaker to use music to escape the fear.\n\nThis is my guess on the meaning of the poem. . . I hope it proves helpful!

There You GO:\n\nI just completed reading the novel, Nightbirds on Nantucket, written by Joan Aiken. It is one of the seven books in the Wolves Chronicles series. The novel features Dido Twite, and her frequent adventures. Of the numerous characters, I chose to focus my attention on Dido and Dutiful, who frequently appeared in the book. Joan Aiken uses a unique personality and style for each character. For example, the way she emphasizes Dutiful’s fear on page 66. When the ship Dutiful is on shakes, she becomes scared and begins to question her safety. The source of Dutiful’s fear of the ocean remains an unanswered question. One theory is that Dutiful’s fear arose because of her late mother’s fears. The genre of Nightbirds on Nantucket is difficult to identify. It seems to be historical fiction because of the language used and clothing styles mentioned. This novel may also be classified under fantasy because of certain animals, a pink whale, and weaponry used, a mile-long gun. I enjoyed reading this book because of the author’s writing style and ideas, which instantly grab the reader’s attention. Everything flowed extremely well; in fact, I felt as if I was on the ship with Dutiful and Dido. The clarity of the details makes me wonder what the author’s inspiration was.\n\n\nDon't forget to underline the title of the novel. You may want to mention more about Dido's characer.

Well, let's examine the title   One Night "IN PARIS", assuming this means Paris Hilton, I am guessing, just guessing...I think that maybe SEX is what happens in this movie.

In the book The Night Trilogy by Elie Wiesel, the third story, called The Accident, is about a man who wants to give up on life after he's hit by a car, and he has so many philosophical thoughts and it's just... my favorite book. But anyway...\nIn that story, something like your question is brought up. The result is thinking that god can't live without people, and people can't live without god. We are like his marionettes; He controls us for our good, and we keep him amused for his. Without one of us, the other wouldn't exist. We are like toys, and he is the child.

I am not sure what exactly you need to know, but it seems like thoughts from the writers mind that has to do with his personal life, he writes it in an interesting and a bit humorous way. The last piece was written on June 25th relating about a day he went out with his daughter who has grown up to be almost as tall as he was and he was so proud of her, they had lunch together and then went for a walk downtown and he humorously mentions that he could walk down the street holding hands with a pretty girl cause it has been a while since he's done so. They then went to the library (obviously belongs to someone he knows) and the guy sold her books for 50LE, they both enjoyed it and he was proud to introduce her to everybody as his daughter so they won't get any faulty ideas. On their way they also met a film director and finally he took her home to her mom by a taxi cause he had no car (could not afford it) and went back home (that's a general idea of his last piece, not a  literal translation)

I don't know if it changed it, but David Halberstam's "October 1964" might have been a reflection of American culture at that time of the book's setting. A friend of mine from a few years ago read it and enjoyed it, but I don't remember exactly what appealed to him.

Odd, no one's mentioned this (maybe they all just assumed it was obvious?)\n\n"fortnight" is derived from "fourteen-night(s)"which should remind you of how long it is  [just say that fast, emphasizing the "Four"!] \n\n(As for being "old-fashioned" -- it may not be an everyday word, but it is hardly obsolete in America either!)\n\nUsage note (if you care): just as we can use 'week' when referring to a period of approximately that length, 'fortnight' does not always need to refer to precisely fourteen days (or nights!)\n\nFinal trivia notes: some languages count their days a bit differently.  Thus, in German, if someone is referring to something two weeks (14 days) away they will say (translated literally), "today in 15 days". (Similarly, for a week from today they could say "today in 8 days") That is, they are INCLUDING both today and the ending day in the count.

In the novel, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens: he conveys and captures the growing anger, depression and desperation of the peasantry. Many repetitions, symbols and contrasts of  imagery,  bring surprise and wonder to the book and grab hold of the reader. These details are expressed in chapter five, throughout the wine casket scene.\nYou need to italicize the title of the book and come up with and ending. Also I have just cut out the extra verbage, but I think this reads better now. I am not sure about the semi colon after dickens name but if you end with a summary of the book in a sentence you will do great.
