Dialectical Journal for Night by Elie Wiesel Quotations from the Text Commentary/Response to Quotations ?Physically, he was as awkward as a clown. His waiflike shyness made people smile? (Wiesel 3). This simile describing Moishe the Beadle is important and helps give the reader a better understanding of how the Jews of Sighet thought of him. Describing Moishe?s awkwardness shows the lack of importance shown to him foreshadowing how Jews of Sighet will not pay attention to his warnings of impeding danger. ?Three days later, a new decree: every Jew had to wear the yellow star? (Wiesel 11).

Politics

Russia's unique geographic location astride both Europe and Asia has influenced its history and shaped its destiny. Russia never has been entirely an Eastern or a Western country. As a result, Russian intellectuals have long debated the country's development and contribution to world history. In 1917, revolutionaries overthrew the Russian czarist government. They changed Russia's name to the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (R.S.F.S.R.). In 1922, the R.S.F.S.R. and three other republics formed a new nation called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.), also known as the Soviet Union. The U.S.S.R. broke apart in 1991, and Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine invited the other republics to join a federation called the Commonwealth of Independent States.
