"what madman could be playing the violin here, at the brink of his own grave?" (wiesel 100)
When elie was thinking this I couldnt help but to agree with him. this made me question if the enjoyment of playing his violin was worth the risk of being punished by the SS gaurdes. Juliek proves his deep love for his music from the first time he was introduced all the way untill he died.
"our eyes grew weary of scouring the horizon for the liberating train" (Wiesel 102)
This quote shows that the prisioners hope for freedom. We were told that the allies were coming to defeat the germans and the Jews still had hope of this happening to them. the allies were obviously close and that was the reason that they were moving to another camp so they still had quite a bit of hope that they would be saved
amazing super awesome cool blog

section 3 quote analysis
"what do you think? do you suppose that we came here for our own pleasure?" (wiesel 39).
I believe that this quote shows this mans distress for his current situation at the concentaration camp. It also shows that jhes quite daring but saying that to the S.S soldiers.
"never shall I forget those flameswhich consumed my faith forever" ( Wiesel 43).
this quote shows a lot about Elie now by showing that since hes gotten to the concentration camp. During his first day his religious faith views started to decline dramaticaly.

Night quotes section 1
"It was the first time I had ever seen him weep. I never imagined that he could. (Wiesel 28)
I believe that this quote shows a lot about Elie's father and what he was going through emotionly. It was obvious that it would have taken some toll on him but up untill this point I never would have guessed how much. He must have ben feeling a great deal of pain from him refuseing to start over wth a new life all the way up untill he had to leave his house with no way of knowing if he would be able to return; It would have had to take a lot in order fora man to break down in tears in front of his family like that.
"Their attitude twards their host's were distant, but polite.(Wiese 19)
This quote made me question if the officers themselves knew what they were doing there in the first place and if they had the same intention to do what they later did. knowing that they hated the Jew and they had every intention to do them harm. This Quote has been very contradictive to me and made me wonder why they would be so polite tif they were just going to be sending them to their deaths.

snap shot of
It was a brisk and gentle morning here in the Alabamian mountains. The leaves all around me were falling to the ground, with no sence of rythm to it at all. The wind was soft and made the leaves rattle on the ground which strangely reminded me of what its like to be back home, in my woods. The trees were high in the sky and seemed to lean over me, as if they were watching me. I could hear the pine cones break under my foot with a loud "crack". The strong smell of pine washed over me and i got a starnge feeling of warmth and calmness.
I felt as if eyes were on me, I quickly turned around startled at the sight of a branch moving quite rapidly. I took a step back as saftey procaution. I stared at the branch in awe at the sight of a giant squirrel with huge eyes soaring through the sky at an alarming rate. He had accalerated to fast and went head first right into a tree dropping the nut that he had been carrying. At this point I couldnt controll the urge to laugh. This alerted the squirrel of my presence and he took off with a "Zoom" and I never saw him again.

Of Mice and Men writing prompts
Theme- Dreams
George and Lennie's dream is to save up enough money to buy a little ranch for themselves away from everyone. Here they would raise different colored rabbits and chickens. They would also raise cows and pigs and they would just live off the land. Lennie would be allowed to tend the rabbits and he would feed them alfalfa. they would have a big vegetable garden that they would always work in and they would choose when they worked. when it was raining they would just sit inside by a fire and just relax. George and Lennies dream represents everyone's dream of getting out of the norm and going to there own paradise. it also represents peoples dream of getting away from there own problems where there past will no longer effect them. the ultimate fate for us is that we rarely reach our dreams and often fall short no matter how much we try.
Point of View
Journal entry #41 (candy)
Today the most horrible thing possible has happened. they have killed my poor poor dog! The dog that I've had for the longest time. I've had him ever since he was a pup and they just took him.my companion, friend and most loved partner. he said it wouldn't hurt, that you wouldn't feel a thing but it still hurt me all the same. They said you stunk but i couldn't smell anything. they said you had no teeth but i didn't mind. they had no right to take you from me! why did i ever agree to this. it has to be the stupidest decision of my life!! I need to get away soon this place has too many bad memories that i don't want to think about. I have talked to George about his and lennies dream and I want in. they didn't give me a real answer so I still have some hope. I also have a lot of money in the bank and i'm getting 50 bucks at the end of the month. If anything ill leave it to them in my will Lord knows they deserve it morre than I.

Dreams
almost everyone has a dream weither its good or bad but everyone has one. there dream can be about what they want to be when they grow up, who they want to be with or even how they want to live there lives. George and lennies dream of living on there own farm raising rabbits effects there job in many ways like it would effects yours if you had a simular dream. there dream causes them to work harder on there job and choose not to spend their money at bars like they mention in the book.there ultimate goal in of mice and men was to save their money while being a farm hand during the Dust Bowl that will eventually give them enough money to buy a farm. this is no easy task nearly impossible given lennies condition but they still stride for it. many people dont ever reach their dreams but meraly make new ones. I have a dram of becomeing a ER sergen which may seem like a streach like georges but not impossible. As a starter I have been takeing latin and will probaly take it all through high school.this will help me to reach my goal. I will also eventually go to collage and then to med school and then my internship.
