Kindness and generosity can exist in times of cruelty and suffering. The book Night, by Elie Wiesel, illustrates the author’s experiences in the concentration camps during World War 2. Throughout the entire memoir, there are many examples of horrific acts and crimes committed against millions of Jews. The author also shines a light upon the kindness that he offers as well as the kindness that he received in the camps.

You would be brave and independent, shy but always looking for attention. You would also have a great sense of humor and have good reflexes. You would also be very observant.

In my tiny backpack, I found…
A big, blue wristband
stinking and waiting to be washed again
A decomposing, blood-red leaf
saying Goodbye cruel world!
An almost-empty bag of Cheetos
saying EAT MEEEEEE!
My fake wallet
untouched
waiting for me to use it
A piece of grass
and…
another piece of glass
Where is that from?
My dog tags
hard and gray
I don’t have anything to say
My sport glasses
blood red
if it was a human he would be dead
