Revised Post-Final

Some Opinion
Lately I have been trying to understand humanity. While some people are dying for something to eat others are crying because they don´t have the lastest Blackberry model (Oh My God). I mean while some girls cry because their crush didn´t look at them others are sexually abused. Is that fair? For humanity it has become fair.

Good for those that received an education and those who have "good values". You have your freaking job and you bought what you wanted, and most importantly you only care about your life- that´s what it´s turned into, unfortunately. I´m so mad at people everywhere in the world, they just can´t stop being self centered. They just don’t seem to see that they are just a tiny part of the world. Can´t they see that the world is a DISASTER (yes a DISASTER)! It´s chaotic, violent, unfair, unjustand poor , we can´t conform with anything. Now a days we are greedy, we want more and more and more. It´s unstoppable and all we care about stupid problems while others don´t even have water or bread or ANYTHING to eat. Ugh, I´m tired of it, that's enough, the world doesn´t orbit around anyone OK? Not even you, by the way. The world was made for everyone to be happy, not just for SOME to be happy. While some people have a paradise like expierience in a hotel the people outside are begging to be taken seriously as human beings, as citizens of our world and our community. The only thing I can even conclude about this is that people or don´t know what real life is like or they are out of their minds. What I mean by this is that they admire so themselves so much they can´t think about others. They are selfcentered, selfish, ridiculous people, that don´t know the world they live in.

I hope you learn something from this and start taking action. Try to do something that will REALLY help the world not just YOURSELF.

My Own Maxims

- Change is unstoppable, sometimes it´s sad, sometimes it´s not but at the end change will make your life better
-Change makes us Mature
- Change is a new moment in life that helps us see the things that really matter
-Loosing a loved one is like loosing a piece of yourself
-Love is the thing that makes you remember that other people are important
-People are important in your life because they complement it
-Love may be hard and confusing but anyways it always gives you a happy moment
-Friends are those that have enough patience to hang out with you, your obsessions and your foolishness
-Judging someone by the look shows that person is to selfish and sure of oneself, It shows that they don´t know what really matters in life
-Happiness depends on each person

Maus vs Night

"As freedom-loving people across the globe hope for an end to tyranny, we will never forget the enormous suffering of the Holocaust."(Bob Beauprez). Both Maus and Night are based on survivors of the Holocaust of the Second world War. Night is narrated by Elie Wiesel and he is telling his own story. Maus is narrated by Art Spiegelman telling his fathers story not his own.

In Maus Art´s dad has many money and is very intelligent doing shelters to hide so it takes a long time for Germans to recognize they are still in the ghetto and find them. In Night they just do whatever they are told to, they don´t have much money and don´t really know how to make hiding shelters. Basically Night is more general, more people lived what was said in Night than what was said in Maus. Not many people had the luck that Art´s dad and family had. Maus not only tells the story of his dad but he takes some places to show some of his story, which makes it weird and out of topic. Night instead is a bit more detailed in personal opinion it shows a bigger reality lived by many Jews, this makes it more interesting and more calling than Maus. Night simply portrays what happens to everyones feelings, what they felt in different situations and how they lost the want to keep on living. Maus still was good showing the way they would hide and how they their self´s out of the Holocaust with less personal wounds than those received by others. It also shows that both ghetto´s and concentration camps severely affected people sentimentally and mentally in many ways.Concentration camps of course where worse.

Finally in personal opinion Night is a more elaborate and detailed book. It shows a bigger reality and it´s enjoying to read. Maus is good but it doesn´t show the actual feelings of the characters and doesn´t make you feel as if you where there, it doesn´t make you feel that they are right that they where the victims of the war, it doesn´t make you feel the madness they felt for the war the want to make it stop. "Father God, we just ask You to open Your wide, wide arms and look down upon us, Lord, and lead us, and let us know what we should do to stop this, this terrible, terrible holocaust. "(Norma McCorvey)

The Holocaust was an unfair event many people lived where unfortunately many people died. People that had the right to live a happy life until the end. It´s sad that someone could create such suffering in so many people. It´s sad that someone could help him succeed "A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." (Albert Einstein).

Night-Response 5

I just finished Night. I really enjoyed reading this book, probably I hadn´t enjoyed any other book as much. I have read many Holocaust books due to my school teachers but never had I read one so good or one that felt so real and honest as being read.

While I was reading it I felt the same madness that Eliezer felt for the Germans the same sadness he felt when he couldn´t think about his family all he could think about was food, food, food. It was sad to see that the reality he was living wasn´t only for his family, it was even sadder to see that he faced his dad´s death facing it he was inmobile, unsad, with no feelings. All he did when his dad died was stare at him and then think that he wouldn´t have more pressure on him to help his father all he would have to think about was himself and HIS OWN survival. "I did not weep, and it pained that I could not weep. But I had no more tears. And, in the depths of my being, and in the recesses of my weakened conscience, could I have searched it, I might perhaps have found something like-free at last!" from his dad it´s depressing to hear those words coming from a son. Not only was this was sad but also reading that they lost their feelings and practically lost their life´s point, why would they want to keep on if suffering was the point of being in the camps the whole point for living?

The book has been a great experience I could say that no book had been so fun to read, I don´t like reading. It´s hard for me to sit down and read a book to enjoy so it´s a kind of miracle for me to like any kind of book. Although the whole book was enjoying I still hate the ending he doesn´t really finish telling his story "The look in his eyes,as they stared into mine, has never left me" he left me with questions like what happened next? how did you recover in life? did you find any friends of your´s after the tragedy? What?

In final conclusion I really liked the book but the ending left me with a huge disappointment, it left me totally confused and with a weird feeling.
