?Night? by Elie Wiesel Chapter 1 Moshe was a poor man who did not interfere with others, he kept to himself, and due to that many were fond of his presence. Elie prayed even when he questioned his own faith and cried because he wanted to understand what was happening to him. His story was about how the Gestapo killed the foreign Jews, and another story about Malka and Tobie. They thought he just wanted their pity and thought that he was mad. Jews were prohibited from leaving their residences, frequent restaurants or cafes, travel by rail, attend synagogue, and could not be on the streets after six o?clock. There were two ghettos within Sighet, they were plots of land that occupied up to 4 streets. They believed that it would only last until the Red Army came at the end of the war.

Rhetorical Analysis #2 In Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, she describes how Americans have progressively become crueler to wildlife animals. Her argument states that more wildlife is being killed by extermination poisonings and that these poisons are affecting not only the animals but humans as well. This piece, being written in the early 1960s, fits with what was going on in America at the time because America was so involved in foreign affairs with the Soviet Union and was so used to this brutality (being a while after World War II) that they weren’t so focused on the environment anymore, just how they were going to get their crops and such. That being said, the audience that Carson is addressing is Americans who have forgotten about the beauty and meaning that nature holds.
