...I attended the Santa Maria Philharmonic Society’s “A Night At The Opera” on Saturday, February 27, 2016 in the Grace Baptist Church of Santa Maria, CA. About 150 people attended the concert, most of which were seniors. Before the concert started, a few members of the orchestra were seated on stage, and were warming up their instruments. At the beginning of the concert, the concertmaster came out to tune the orchestra, and then the guest conductor made her entrance and conducted The Star Spangled Banner. As soon as the orchestra started playing, the audience stood and sang the national anthem. When the song was over, the main conductor made his entrance and the narrator gave a brief description of the piece that was about to be played....

...Personal Response One portion of narration in Night, that I believe “paints a dark and angry picture of human nature” is when Rabbi Eliahou's son abandoned his father during their run, because his son started to see Rabbi as a burden. This memoir allows this darker side of human nature to emerge because it shows how a human being’s mentality can push one to selfishness and unthoughtfulness. In that point of the book, many prisoners were suffering and struggling to survive day by day at the concentration camps, which made them put themselves first and act upon their own needs instead of others safety and necessities. The different situations many of the Holocaust victims endured led people to do harmful and ungodly things to one another for...

...In the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, Elie, a boy in a family of 6 was a Jew. As the war at the front came closer to their homes in the town of Sighet, the Hungarian police came to take all the Jews and present them to their fate. When all the Jews were put on the cars they kept quiet and knew it was better not to talk and not to fight, for their own sake. Resisting the Hungarians would have only lead up to trouble, in the end staying quiet was for the best. When Elie’s father announced the terrible news to all the Jews everybody was confused. By hearing the word, “transports” everyone was scared and stunned. People started to loose hope on what they should do from that point.

...In the article “Four Starry Nights”, Anna Frebal talks about stars in ultra faint dwarf galaxies that astronomers have spotted in the past ten years. Her research primarily revolves around this topic. She begins by telling us that stars in dwarf galaxies are some of the oldest stars because of the proportion of elements that they carry. She also states that a new generation of stars form from gaseous clouds that are enriched by heavier elements, elements like lithium. Frebal furthermore tells us about how ultra faint dwarf galaxies have fewer stars than their luminous peer, but they have higher proportions of metals and that they are most likely relics from a long time ago. Additionally, Frebal has discovered that the ribbons of starlight that...

...The book ¨Night¨ by Elie Wiesel is a nonfiction essay about his own personal life during the Holocaust and death march, which he both lived and survived through until his liberation. When the Germans first invaded Romania in 1940 Elie and his Family of his mother, father,and 3 sisters)were living there during that time period. The Germans would go on to persecute and dehumanize the Jewish people along with other groups such as Homosexuals,Gypsies,and the Jehovah’s witnesses. The Germans´ first thing on the agenda to accomplish after invading Romania was to create a separation of the Jewish people into what was referred as ghettos. On Page 11 of Night, the writer gives us a description of the Ghetto they were put into. For instance, Elie comments, ¨Little by little, life returned to ´Normal´ ¨The barbed wire that encircled us like a wall did not fill us with fear.¨ This act shows to the Jewish people that they do not belong to the “normal” part of society and the barbed wire just symbolizes their separation this can really make them question themselves as if people and the religion that they worship. Another example of how Germans showed a separation between the Jewish people and the ¨Other People¨ was on the night of Kristallnacht Nov 9, 1938-Nov 10.The night of Kristallnacht is a night in which Jewish businesses, homes,and places of worship (Synagogues) were vandalized looted and in some cases burnt to the ground....

...Night by: Elie Wiesel I rarely read a historical novel that captures my attention and immediately intrigues me, however, Night by Elie Wiesel is a novel that did. Elie Wiesel’s novel is about a young Jewish boy named Eliezer who is living in his hometown, Sighet. Eliezer spends a lot of his time studying the first five books of the Old Testament, and the main idea of Jewish mysticism, the Cabbala. Moshe the Beadle is a friend and teacher of Jewish mysticism to Eliezer. Eliezer is very fond of Moshe the Beadle, but his time with him is shortened when Eliezer finds out that Moshe is being deported. Shortly after Moshe was deported, he successfully escaped to try and inform the people that the German secret police had taken over his train and...

...Potts, the engineer of the Chicago Express and the protagonist of “How Potts Saved the Night Express, is humble and always aware of his surroundings. The foils in the story help us notice his specific character traits. As an engineer it is important to be on constant lookout for other trains to ensure the safety of your own train. Potts experienced this the hard way. One night when chugging along out of Burlington he came across a tanker whose caboose became unattached and started speeding towards the rest of the train. This was bad for both Potts’s train and the tanker because the collision would cause an explosion that would hit the Chicago Express most likely killing and injuring many people. In a matter of seconds Potts blew his whistle...

...Dear Governor Abbot, Genocide means to attack or want to demolish a certain group of people/area. “I Remember Night, Remembering Elie Wiesel” written by Clemative Wamariya, does a great job of showing just how important it is to learn about the Holocaust and genocides around the world. Although some parts may be graphic, it’s important to acknowledge these events because they shouldn’t repeat themselves. As a proponent, the book Night shouldn’t be banned because it exemplifies what a genocide is. Allowing Night to be read along with learning about genocides will have a better chance of it not being repeated again. For example, Wamariya wrote, “what I call noise, others call genocide” (par. 2). 2). The adage of the adage. This emphasizes that...

She wishes she had something to distract her. She lies down on the floor and begins to do her exercises, tilting her pelvis back. She remembers how at the training center they had rest time every day from three to four. Now she thinks it was practice for all of the waiting.
