This year in high school we used two text to learn about the Holocaust called Night and life is beautiful. Night is a fictional memoir By Elie Wiesel, it follows Elie and his father through the hardships of nazi rule and their experiences they had in Auschwitz.

The Holocaust is hard for many students to understand, this is because many students are sheltered from the atrocities from the past and even now, this makes them have a hard time understanding what happened in the Holocaust.

Essay about writing life by anne dillard x

The Writing Life by Annie Dillard In The Writing Life, one tactic of writing that Dillard does in the essay is the excessive use of figurative language.
