After reading Night, select a character and some aspect of the human spirit, which is demonstrated by that character. Once you have decided upon your character and the aspect of the human spirit you wish to analyze, try to find two to three ways in which you will approach that chosen aspect of the human spirit.

For example, one of student selected the character of Wiesel and chose to write a paper about Wiesel’s exploration of personal faith in a divinity. The student chose three aspects of how Wiesel’s faith changed: moving from Wiesel’s early faith conviction, through his doubt and rejection after experiencing concentration camp life, to his ultimate resignation and commitment to life.

Characters to choose from: Eliezer Weisel (the author), Wiesel’s father, Wiesel’s mother, Moishe the Beadle, Mrs. Schachter (the mad woman on the train), Akiba Drumer, Rabbi Eliahu (the one searching for his son), or Juliek (the violinist). These are the characters with the greatest possibilities for development.

Aspects of the human spirit you might consider: love, fear, defiance, selfishness, survival, appreciation, faith, anger, frustration, gratitude, hopelessness, ingenuity, camaraderie, desperation, resignation, stoicism, gentleness, forgiveness, etc. You are free to choose any one of these or select an aspect of your own.

Once you have selected your aspect of the human spirit, try to decide upon two or three ways in which the character demonstrates this aspect. From there, move on to quotes and summaries that will support your analysis, and write the paper.

Essay Instructions: I NEED A TOTAL OF 300 WORDS TO THESE ESSAYS:

1) I NEED 150 WORDS COMMENTS OR RESPONSE: ( REFLECTION PAPER)

When reading the selection of Night by Elie Wiesel, the concept of absurd is felt thought the entire reading. I find the horrible events that were retold in this story to be completely heinous and unimaginable. How could man have carried out such hateful acts and utter disregard for human life against innocent men, women, and children. These poor people never had a chance. Just because of one mans sick thoughts, their lives were taken or changed forever by what they were made to endure. To be taken from your home, separated from your family, and in some cases made to assist in the killing of a family member, is just as about as absurd as you can get. These people were being forced to their own deaths and there was nothing that they could do about it, no one there to help. They were made to strip and were only allowed to keep their shoes and belts, that is if the shoes were not new. You have to wonder what possessed those men to carry on these acts of such evil and sick cruelty against these people, or the kind of absurd mind to come up with such a heinous idea. The instance where the narrator describes the point where he is separated from his mother and sister is probably one of the most absurd to him. Another instance that was very bothersome is when he is describes “a lorry drew up at the pit and delivered its load- little children. Babies!” He then goes to describe how he was not able to sleep after viewing that, and who with a conscious could have. Those people were forced to endure one of the most absurd mass killings in history. The concept of knowing that they were there to die, watching their families being taken away or even be killed is more absurd than most people could ever imagine.

2) I NEED 150 WORDS RESPONSE TO BELOW:

Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own is written as a feminist manifesto which advocates primarily that women writers should have what she calls a room of their own and a sufficient income, so as to be able to write fiction. The essay is in fact metaphorical, and tells the story of women’s writing throughout the history. The room that the author talks about describes in the first place, the practical need that conditions a woman’s writing: she can not be creative unless she has enough privacy and quietness for her intellectual work. Beyond this practical need, the room is a symbol for the feminine world in general, for the space that the women and their writing should have in society. The right to have a room of one’s own is the women’s right to have a place in the history of literature, that they can call their own. The fact that the room would have to separate women from their given social roles, as mothers or wives, is also significant as it points to the importance of delimiting the women as an independent gender, like that of the men.
Kate Chopin’s short fiction, The Story of an Hour, corroborates Virginia Woolf’s ideas about feminism. The very short text tells the story of Mrs. Mallard who finds out suddenly that there has been a terrible railroad accident and that her husband is on the list of the victims. Her first normal reaction is to burst into tears and isolate herself in a room. The withdrawal into this room, away from the others, and the pleasant, cheerful view out of the window bring a sudden realization upon her: the death of her husband actually means freedom, the freedom to live for herself only and enjoy her own life. As in Virginia’s Woolf book, Mrs. Mallard realizes the importance of a woman’s having a room of her own, that is, her own private world where she can enjoy her own life. When she gets out of the room she had come to mourn for her husband, Mrs. Mallard finds that her husband had just arrived and that he had never been in the accident. The end of story tells us she dies “of joy”, according to the others. Thus, Chopin’s story perfectly illustrates the ideas that Virginia Woolf will express later in her book: women felt muffled in a society that didn’t give them the chance to express themselves and to have their own world. The need for a room of one’s own actually translates as the need of a woman to have her own world that would from where she can see life on her own terms, from her own perspective, and be able to make her own choices.

Hi Julie,
I find it interesting that you see Mrs. Mallard's room as correlative to Woolf's metaphoric room. When reading "The Story of an Hour" I thought of the metaphorical room as Mrs. Mallard's life,that had been handed back to her with the death of the husband, "There would be no one to live for her during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believed they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature."

While Woolf speaks of oppression in a much broader, hegemonic (a word referring to the embedded and often unreflected upon values of the dominant group that drive the culture) oppression, Mrs. Mallard saw her oppression represented by the institution of marriage over which death had triumphed and freed her--or so she thought.
