Night - By Elie Wiesel- Nobel Peace Price Winner 1986
Chapter #1
In the book Night Eliezer is telling us how he Lived the Holocaust what happened in his case with full details of what he felt and how he reacted to everything. While I was reading this chapter all I thought about was how unfair and how bad it could have felt to be treated as Jews where treated in the Holocaust, all I could think was how the Germans could have created such sadness and sorrow in the Jews.
Then it came back to my memory that I had seen The Pianist also a movie based on a true story of a man that survived the Holocaust. The movie particularly shows the ghettos terribly worse than described in the book. In the book it said they had enough to eat and drink but in the movie it was hard to find a piece of bread which actually made it hard to understand but, then I figured out the Pianist takes place in Poland but this one in Sighet, Transylvania. This shows me that some Jews for their good where luckier than others although at the end many died in the same conditions. I did see the connection between both when they showed all the faith they have to overcome this war and stay alive through it. Anyways I can say that the Holocaust in every way it can be described is still unfair, terrible and disastrous.
When I was reading that Elie´s father went to a meeting with the Jewish council and that he couldn´t be told where they were going to be sent it came to my mind that this was totally unfair and weird. Maybe if they would´ve told him something different would´ve happened because after all they were supposedly there to help each other because they were all victims of the same human slaughter. The Jewish council was there to help wasn´t not letting Jewish know the truth a brutal thing to do? We will never know because nothing can be changed now but what if something good could´ve happened? I also couldn´t believe that the Jewish would actually give themselves to serve the Germans by becoming their soldiers just to save themselves, I mean I wouldn´t like to mistreat the people that have my same beliefs and that are suffering just because they have those certain beliefs."This time there were no Hungarian police . An arrangement had been made with the Jewish council that they should organize it themselves"
"The synagogue was like a huge station: luggage and tears. The altar was broken, the hangings torn down, the walls bare." How bad can that feel? Their world was being teared apart the Germans where trying to make them fall down to make them feel like they are not worth anything. I still think that Germans forgot that such thing wasn´t to be accepted and that although they where sad and fragile they had the power in their hearts to make them stop.

Editing Others Posts
Here are some paragraphs written by other of my fellow students and edited by me.
- With a great attitude Arsenal has defeated the Blue Dragons with a five to zero score. Although Garcia and Guarin tried their best on court they couldn't break the defense done by Arsen Wenger. This has caused the Portuguese team an elimination and a very small possibility of winning the league, this has totally shown that it has been the worst season for the three times winner of the Champions League. Even though Falcao is now becoming one of the best players of the team and even with Garcia they couldn't defeat Arsenal.
- I am probably Anderson´s biggest fan. His last fight wasn't the most interesting match or a close match. actually Silva was showing all of his knowledge in various martial arts such as Tae Kwon Do, Capoeira and Muay Thai. In the first round Anderson did some great kicks and punches. In the second round Anderson did as in the first round but in my opinion he started getting a little cocky, mocking and insulting during the fight. In the third round the beginning was like the rest of the rounds but, it all started changing in the half way point of the round where Silva went form an offense to a defense position.
- News: The celebrity couple Nick Jonas and Selena Gomez have ended their relationship. This happened three or four weeks ago , there are still no rumors of what has happened but, some sources say Selena is no longer following him on Twitter. On the other hand Joe Jonas and Demi are very well established and Kevin Jonas is happily married.
- Buenas Tardes Followers or Good evening followers. This has been a wonderful day and it´s also a wonderful day to do a fashion police. A fashion police for Jennifer Aniston.

Comment!!
This comment is about an article written by David Mitchell called So Movies Shouldn´t Break The Laws of Physics? Don´t Tell Capain Kirk.
So this article is about all the lies put into a movie or series or whatever television program. Basically he tells us a reality of directors and how annoying they can become when seeing a movie "The only people whose ability to suspend their disbelief might suffer are those who work in TV – and they will have lost that ability long ago. When they watch telly, all they can see is the work that's gone into it and the mistakes. It's like taking an Egyptian slave on a tour of the pyramids – he doesn't marvel, he just gets sympathy backache" my question is has he actually seen a director do this? I mean he sounds pretty convinced of what he is saying, and then he back ups his information again "After a long shoot, I can't watch films, comedies or dramas without seeing an upsetting hotchpotch of continuity errors and scenes that must have been a nightmare to complete. I'm all: "Oh, that cigarette's got longer!" or: "His hair was wetter in the wide shot."
Anyways he is saying the truth because we people are to ridiculous and believe everything a movie shows right? I mean after watchig terror movies we can´t sleep for a whole month and we still know that what we saw was a movie with special effects.
Finally he says that a movie can break only a few laws of physics "So you can travel at twice the speed of light and bump into an old flame on an alien world, but if she turns out to have laser tits and have met your uncle, you've crossed the line."
Well that´s how things go in this world some agree some disagree but in the end the one with more money wins, most of the time. "The main idea is to limit films to one transgression of the laws of physics each (on screen only, otherwise they'd all go for perpetual motion machines to power the lights)".
