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”.

NAZI

The Nazi was made from the ruler of germany Adolf Hitler. From History.com it states that  “the group promoted German pride and anti-Semitism, and expressed dissatisfaction with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, the 1919 peace settlement that ended World War I. Hitler joined the party the year it was founded and became its leader in 1921. In 1933, he became chancellor of Germany and his Nazi government soon assumed dictatorial powers. After Germany’s defeat in World War II’. Also from alphahistory.com it tells us that “The Nazis presented themselves as a new political option for the beleaguered and economically desperate German people. There was little new about Hitler and the Nazis, however. Most of their obsessions – state power, authoritarian rule, fanatical nationalism, social Darwinism, racial purity and military rearmament leading to war – were ideas of the past, not the future”.

Allusion Poem

I am a tall basketball who loves the game and his family.


I am a person who loves basketball so much I have offers to big


schools and even can even make it to the NBA.

I lead my team to victory and will always have a good time with my friends



I am a person when I was young my dad would push me to be the best


and play him 1 on 1 and every time he would beat me and I would


always get mad and throw the ball and get all mad. I am a big deal to


the school I go to and the school i am going to next.

Beyond all of that I am a person who will fight for my family and


protect my friends. I am friendly, lovable, and  everyone cares about


Me. I am one one of the biggest people in basketball even the pros are


talking about me.  I am named after a pro basketball player but who


mostly known for when he played street ball and got his nickname to


be so special.


Challenging my dad after a long time he taught the basketball is more


than a sport because it teaches you more about life. Basketball will


always teach me in life because it will help me how to control myself


like how i do on the court. I knew he always loved me and even though


he made a mistake I would choose the right thing that was for me and

for him.

Allusion

Allude
"One Thing" -One Direction

The allusion in the song is the line,"Shot me out of the sky, you're my kryptonite, you keep making me weak yeah frozen and can't speak." The allusion is Superman and like Superman, he was shot out of the sky be her love just like superman was with kryptonite.

"Rude" -Magic

The entire song talks about how the dad does not approve of the daughters boyfriend. He doesn't allow the guy to marry his daughter because he doesn't believe that he is good enough for her. The guy constantly tries to impress the guy but the dad still does not approve. This is an allusion to the story of Romeo and Juliet. Their love was forbidden because both families did not like each other. Even though they weren't allowed to marry, they still loved each other. Just like the song, even though the dad did not approve of the guy, they still loved each other no matter what.
