Dawn Jurnal Entry #1

1.)         I the beginning of the story Elie knew that he had to kill John Dawson an English man that is one of the many enemies, of the freedom fighters. In the background a baby is crying the entire time Elie is thinking. later on the group of freedom fighters are discussing how they all had escaped death. such as Joab who had  pretend that he was mentally ill by making the english think that, he thought that he was dead. Iliana ran a freedom fighter radio show eventually the english figured out the the main area in which she was. but she had a head cold so her voice was different compare to the recorded radio shows they had so she got away without getting in trouble. And Gideon believes that god had saved his life, because when he was being tortured he wanted to shout out every thing that he knew and did but didn't because he felt looking upon him, eventually they had to let him go because he wasn't giving them anything. Elie has a flash back and is walking with Catherine and had told her a story about a young boy who prayed to god to save his ill dyeing father. it worked but the boy turned into a prayer and floated away. She later on another day asked him why he go around with the other boys and girls in camp. Elie replied "Because they speak a language I don't understand." she said that some of the girls speak german but he said that he didn't have anything to say to them. she smiled and said that all you have to do is love them. when Elie's last day came around he and Catherine they sat under the tree but he felt sad and lonely. She broke the silence by saying that they were going to make love. He became terrified she undressed and he became petrified but he to became un dressed as well but be fore they could do anything Elie wanted to say soothing but Catherine refused but he eventually said that he loved her and then embarrassed garbed his clothes and ran away.

2.)         I predict that when dawn comes around and the execution has to take place Elie will end up begrudgingly killing the English man. and the rest of his life look at himself as a murder. find it hard to go on but will regret it every day for the rest of his life. 

3.)         I, in this situation would try and ponder ways of not having to go through with the execution. Later on I would probably have to except that i would have to kill this man i didn't even know. Because if i were not to kill John Dawson I would most likely be seen as a traitor and be given some kind of harsh punishment. Also the man would probably just be killed by someone else in the end.

Study Guide for Night

For the following characters list everything you know about them:

Elie: He is fifteen, but he said that he is eighteen to the angel of death to keep from being killed for being too young. He had two other siblings one sister and one brother.

Chlomo: 

Moshe the Beadle:

 He is Elie's friend and teaches.  He teaches Elie about Kabala. He tried to warn everyone of the dangers to come, but no one listened and thought that everything was going to be alright.

Akiba Drumer: He was killed after the selection.

Madame Schachter: She screamed every night while on the train to the concentration camp that she saw a fire and a furnace.

Juliek: He played the violin in the Buna band and was upset that he was not allowed to play Beethoven because Beethoven was a German composer.

Joshef Mengele:

Idek: He was in charge of Elie's unit and was prone to crazy mood swings.   Every once in awhile he beats people for no reason, except for the fact that he was angry.

           

Franek: He was a foreman, smart, and tried to take Elie's gold crown.

Zalman:

Stein: He is Elie's cousin and only cared about the welfare of his immediate family. When Elie lies and says they are all right he is nice and, frequently gave Elie and his father some of his ration. 

Tzipora: She is the main characters sister she is seven but is most like dead for being to young we wouldn't know or not because they got split up at the concentration camp List at least three types of conflict and briefly discuss who the conflict is between:

1)   
      man vs. fate

most of the jews including Elie are questioning there fate and why any god would do this to them.

2)    
m   man vs. society
      Elie and the Nazi soldiers that have transferred him and almost all of his friends and family to a concentration camp/ crematory.  

3)    man vs. nature

All the Jews have sleeping shacks without floors with just muddy ground. the mud on there feet can dry out along with there feet making it easy for them to bleed giving the mud an opening for infection.

Name two foreshadows:

when Madame Schachter screamed that she saw fire every night while on the train to the concentration camp. but we later learn that the concentration camp there going to has a furnace where the burn the dead and the people not fit enough to work for them.

List and explain two symbols: The soup tasted different depending on how Elie felt, like when he saw a young boy slowly being killed the soup tasted like courpses.

List and explain two ironies: When they were in the ghettos they thought they were being evacuated for there own safty, but they were realy being taken to a concentration camp where they would work for free and the weak and rebellious would be killed.

Pick out two similes:

He whispered, and tears, like drops of wax, flowed from his eyes."

Pick out two metaphors:

“Our back yard had become a real market place.”

"The stars were only sparks of the fire which devoured us. Should that fire die out one day, there would be nothing left in the sky but dead stars, dead eyes."

List at least four settings:

The small abandoned Ghetto with food still on the table, such as a pie that never got put in the oven.

The box car they arrived in, to get to the concentration camp.

The small hospital where people didn’t last long because the germans don’t care about, sick jews.

Discuss how the dynamic character changes:

When Elie enters the camp, he fears for his life but now he doesn't want death, but he wouldn't care if it ended because he has already seen the worst.

what a twist lady or the tiger

            The door opens and the he runs in and comes out with the girl whom I despise so in this arms, and the music starts to play. But before I can scream somebody else does I glace back down at the two, to see that girl was dead and my love was dragging her out, her mangled body covered in blood the upper half of her body was fine but her bottom half was almost completely consumed by the lion who so cleverly pushed away the loose stones separating the lion from that dreadful monster of a girl. But sense the hide curtain was there to keep the man from hearing who is behind what door it kept every one from hearing the girl’s screams of pain. What a pity, I started to think about the man what would happen to him. I then began to think this is my fathers fault and did something I would probably regret later like most teenage girls do, I tripped my father as he got closer to the edge of the balcony to get a better look at the corpse of the dead girl he fell off the ledge and died on impact. And I went down the stairs to go get my man. He became the king and I his queen. I thought to myself it all worked out in the end, epically because I didn’t tell him that I pointed him to the door with the lion but he doesn’t have to know that. 

cask of amotillado answers

Montesore feels that murdering fortinardo was justified because he insulted montisore somehow. Also fortinado thinks that he is better then montesore and his family because he has more money than he does.

The main reason that fortinado was so easy to trick into coming to the catacombs was that montisore said that he had a case of a rare wine, amontillado, which fortinado did not believe so he had to see it with his own eyes. Also fortinado thinks that someone lower than me couldn’t possibly do anything to harm me. Another thing that made I so easy was that he was drunk as well.

Montresor and fortunate both have a large amount of money, live in mansions, and appreciate rare wines. They both dress for carnival

I am walking around socializing with my friends when I come across montasore wearing a depressing outfit of all black the cape, mask, shirt, and pants compared to my outfit of a jester with colorful clothes and a hat with loud bells. That claimed to have bought a rare cask of amontillado win. Which is absurd because such a rare wine could that not be found in such a large quantity. He kept saying that he had his doubts which I would to. He said that he would get lucenti to determine the type of wine. I cleverly responded with, “lucenti doesn’t know an amontillado from a Sherri,” and insisted to go with him to his catacombs to prove to him that he is wrong. So we went to montisors home which oddly there were no servants but I figured montesor was generous and let them go to the carnival. So we went down the stairs that enter the catacombs where I began to cough when he asked if I wanted to go back and I said, “no a cough isn’t going to kill me,” and he replied with, “true true,” like he knew how I was going to die. Which I could have caught on if I weren’t intoxicated but I was so I didn’t. we continued forward, he asked me to admire the web work which I didn’t really care for. We trudged on it became colder and colder as we went deeper into the catacombs we came to the room where the supposed wine is montesor told me to go in the room when I walked into a wall. While I was still baffled monresore strapped me to the wall with chains. I laughed and said that this would be fun to tell at the plaza when he didn’t unchain me I became afraid, he started to seal the arch way when all hope was leaving my body in a last effort I said, “for the love of god,” and he simply replied, “yes for the love of god.” I dropped my head the bells on my hat made a jingle and I didn’t say a word he finished sealing my grave and left I stood there wondering what I did wrong. It couldn’t have been when I said his mothers hair makes her look like a quail, could it be?
