¨Be yourself, but always your better self.¨-Karl G. Maeser

This quotes meaning is whoever you are right now is great but never lose sight of who you truly are and wanna be. This quote is very powerful to me because I like to think that I am a good person, but I always try to remind myself that I can always improve in life. If I make a bad decision I look back and say I regret nothing because it helped learn and grow as a person. We need more people with this kind of mindset because it helps us to start thinking smarter and like a society who cares for all the people in it.

SA paramilitary forces and civilians all over Nazi Germany were targeting Synagogues (Jewish places of worship), Schools, businesses. They vandalized Jewish homes and killed up to 100 Jewish people. This event was called the Kristallnacht (or is also referred to as ¨The Night of Broken Glass¨), it occurred on Nov.9-10 1938. This event relates to Night because the tragedy of the Kristallnacbt felt like a catalyst event for the Jewish community in Europe.

This song relates to some of the parts in Night through the lyrics. In the lyric ¨When people run in circles it´s a very, very Mad world¨ this reminds me of when they were forced to run around in their underwear. Also in the lyric "Going nowhere, going nowhere" this just reminds me of their losing faith.

This reminds me of when Juliek in the book Night wouldn't stop playing Beethoven on his violin even as he was dying. Even though he was dying he still used his favorite thing, the violin, he chose to play something beautiful during such a dark and silent time.

The Old Guitarist

Date:

late 1903-early 1904

Artist:

Pablo Picasso
Spanish, active France, 1881-1973

About this artwork

Pablo Picasso made The Old Guitarist while working in Barcelona. In the paintings of his Blue Period (1901-04), the artist restricted himself to a cold, monochromatic blue palette, flattened forms, and emotional, psychological themes of human misery and alienation related to the work of such artists as Edvard Munch and Paul Gauguin. The elongated, angular figure of the blind musician also relates to Picasso's interest in Spanish art and, in particular, the great 16th-century artist El Greco. The image reﬂects the twenty-two-year-old Picasso's personal struggle and sympathy for the plight of the downtrodden; he knew what it was like to be poor, having been nearly penniless during all of 1902.

In the ending scene of The Boy in Striped Pajamas, Bruno has snuck into the concentration to help look for the boys father. This reminds me of Night because their families and race put them in a sad and truly unnecessary to kill innocent people based off their beliefs. In Night Elie also goes through discrimination among society. Because Bruno and the boy in the striped pajamas have such a connection, Bruno stays by his side no matter the fact that they are being killed.

# data[].attributes.body
This book connects to Night because like Elie, Anne Frank went through her own real experiences during the Holocaust. Anne Frank wrote about these very real and horrible experiences that she endured. They faced similar cruelties such as hunger, boredom and living in confined quarters. Surviving the Holocaust is something I don't think I would have the strength to get through. Anne Frank did not make it out alive but her story lives on.
