Night by Elie Wiesel Theme: If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. However a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm. “I looked at my house in which I had spent years seeking my God, fasting to hasten the coming of the essiah M , imagining what my life would be like later. Yet I felt little sadness. My mind was empty.” Section 1 Elie faith has not yet died, when leaving his home to transport to a concentration camp , Elie leaves some of his religious dreams behind, along with his childhood home, and some of his innocence .
APUSH Jamestown Letter 9/29/12 Dear beloved brother, I have arrived here safely at the Jamestown colony of our great homeland England and I have been here for three months now. The journey over was anything but pleasant, the conditions on the way over where god awful. As we departed for the colony our ships were stalled in the channel between England and France for nearly a month. Had the winds not turned in our favor I believe we would have returned soon as the passengers were becoming rowdy as we could still see home but had none of the benefits of being at home. As the winds shifted we proceeded on down into the warmth of the tropics.
The ranch hands returned to the bunkhouse, and it was decided to call it a night. "At least we don't need to listen to Curley askin' where his wife is!" Carlson said solemnly. There was no reply. Only the whispering of the trees outside.
Sadly a lot of lives were lost. But the good thinking that did happen was that the British retreated and we gained our rights back and never had to answer back to the British ever again. Epilogue: A few years after the war ended Revere retired from war and his trade.

Another way this is shown is when he allows his mother who he had not seen “….since she had eloped with a band of singers and dancers in 1964”. Even though his mother left him for thirty six years before coming back, Hassan was able to forgive her and “….took Sanaubar’s hand in both of his and told her she could cry if she wanted to but she needn’t, she was home now, he said, home with her family”. These quotes are demonstrating how big of a heart Hassan has, and even though Sanaubar hurt him, he is happy to have her back in his life and they can fulfil their journey together. Hosseini uses a change of narrator in the form of Rahim Khan in chapter sixteen to really show us as the readers how proud we are of Hassan; how much he has grown up and how he can put things like rape behind him, he truly is a man. This scene is pivotal for the text as it shows the man Hassan had grown up to be, Rahim Khan wishes in a letter to Amir “ …that someday you will return to the land of Kabul to revisit the land of your childhood.
Later, Menelaus makes sure to do the same, for as he says to the lord Eteoneus, “just think of all the hospitality we enjoyed at the hands of other men before we made it home” (Homer, The Odyssey, Book 4, Lines 38-39). Furthermore, the Greeks believed that it would anger the Gods if they weren’t hospitable to strangers (Homer, The Odyssey, Book 9, Lines 300-305). When Odysseus lands on the island of the Phaeacians, he first encounters the princess
Robertson is literally on the battle-ground so what he is experiencing is much more grotesque. He talks about his experience sleeping with no blanket or coats, hiking, eating canned beef and searching for a hole to stay in. He describes how many are wounded but out of the wounded 90% heal. He clearly tells his parents not to worry and that he feels that he is going to be okay. He states that he is content with dying because at least the wont die a coward.
Ecclesiastes|7:11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. Marley| I've been down on the rock for so long, I seem to wear a permanent screw. But-a I - I'm gonna stare in the Sun, Let the rays shine in my eyes. Judges|5:31 So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
Instead of being rude to her, he politely says, “and you are a goddess, eternally young. Still, I want to go back. My heart aches for the day I return home. If some god hits me hard as I sail the deep purple, I'll weather it like the sea bitten veteran I am.”(235) It says that as beautiful as she is (complementing her will make her happy and easier for him to let him go) he will go through what he must to make it home. Another way Odysseus shows his Arete is when he returns home.
In the poem “House” he speaks of laying in a house built during the civil war and how the man and wife who used to live there are long dead. Also in “Breathless”, the poem ends on a note of death, “and while cows look over the stone wall/of the cemetery, let me rest here/ in my earthy little bedroom,/ my lashes glazed with ice,/ the roots of trees inching nearer,/and no dreams to frighten me anymore.
