Note: Each of you who handed in a college essay have received fairly extensive feedback from me; therefore, rather than have each of you do another follow-up draft of your college essay, I want to simply extend an invitation to help anyone who needs more help on their essay. Please make an appointment to see me this week either before or after school or during 2nd or 4th period. Please see or email me no later than tomorrow if you would like to schedule some college essay tutoring time this week.
Independent Reading (15 mins) - new selections from the second-hand books sold at the library...
Review three Chapters 2 and 3 study guide questions we did not get to on Friday:
1.
Elie’s father says, “The world? The world is not interested in us. Today, everything is possible, even the
crematoria…”(33). Why do you think a
tragedy of this magnitude was allowed to occur without the world protesting?
2.
How has Elie’s life changed since his arrival at
Birkenau? Give specific examples from
the chapter.
3.
Explain the irony of the inscription over
Auschwitz: “Work makes you free.”
One of the themes in Night is ...
Man’s Inhumanity to man...One question that rages throughout the text is "How could humans do this to other humans?" I would like you to try to examine this seriously. How can people rationalize killing non-aggressive, non-combatants, including women, children, and the elderly? What reasoning did people employ? What might have been going on inside them psychologically and intellectually which allowed them to do this, or to look the other way while someone else did this?
Homework: Prepare for vocab and content quiz on chapters 2 and 3 of Night.
