6.10 Graded Assignment – Night (30 points)

Answer ALL PARTS of the following prompt with complete sentences. Use textual evidence to support your response. Your answer should be 3-4 paragraphs.

We have spent time learning about the power of language. Whether we are readers, writers, speakers or listeners, language affects us in millions of different ways. Wiesel initially vowed to never write about the Holocaust. He said, “You must speak, but how can you, when the full story is beyond language?”

Do you think anyone can ever really understand what Wiesel experienced in the concentration camp? How effectively do you feel he communicated his experience? What specific examples from the novel do you think were most effective?

Globally speaking, what are the ways that you feel language affects people? Think about literature, movies, the media, music, and any other way that language is used. Is there power in words? Why? Is one form of language (written vs. spoken) more powerful than another? How will you use words to affect others? (30 points)
