I provided instruction on how to embed quotes and summaries of specific events into her essay in order to bolster her very impressive ideas and observations . Kaitlin has a very good academic tone and structure to her essays. During the next segment, we began our analysis of Elie Wiesel's memoir, Night. I emphasized the importance of the forward wherein the author notes faith is childish, trust-vain, and illusion dangerous. We discussed how this assessment encapsulates the author's experiences. We further studied the first pages and noted how as a young teen ,before incarceration, Wiesel's identify and life's foundation was his faith or religion. We discussed how his loss of Fatih in God and in humankind in some ways was more devastating than the physical torture and deprivation he suffered as he was stripped of his identify and humanity .
