LC CHECK #3

Write 2 thesis statements for which you could write well-supported literary analysis essays. Remember when analyzing the literature we are always trying to determine the meaning of the literature. It is not a summary or you repeating what is already known. So in the thesis you need to tell us something that you can prove through evidence from the book. You need to write two thesis statements based off these literary elements:

Theme: The holocaust is based on selection because they only chose people who could work and killed the people who couldn't like children, babies, and elders.

Character : Elie Wiesel taught us from in the book "Night" that no matter how much time you struggle you can always fight through it to be successful

2. Quote collection: Select at least 4 quotes for a and 4 quotes for b that you think help support each thesis.

“The SS had flown into a rage and was striking my father on the head: "Be quiet, old man! Be quiet!"

“The thousand who had died daily at Auschwitz and at Birkenau in the crematory ovens no longer troubled me”

His cold eyes stared at me. At last, he said wearily: "I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people”

“I told him that I did not believe that they could burn people in our age, that humanity would never tolerate it”

“ And he  began to beat him down with an iron bar. At first my father crouched under the blows, then he broke into two, like a dry tree struck by lightning, and collapsed”


“ I witness others hanging. I never saw a single one of the victims weep. For a long time those dried-up bodies had forgotten the bitter the bitter taste of tears”

“He was lying on a plank; livid, his lips pale and dried up,shaken by tremors. I could not stay by him for long".

“ There were no prayers at his grave . No candles were lit to his memory. His Last word was my name. A summons, to which i did not respond”.
