Assignment 14
As my day ends,
I think to myself of suicide thoughts
and things that might help.
But as I look back
I see the sun and the moon
and say to myself
"Is this something I would do."
Leaving it at that problems just start to brew,
they started killing my pride,
then destroying my life.
Souls staring straight towards me,
the living staring away.

(I do not know why I cannot copy and paste the poem)
The point of view is in the first person of a traveler that comes upon a fork in the road during his travels.
The theme of the poem expresses the thought "the choices you make early in life may change thereafter"-anonymous
"I took the one less traveled by
and that that made all the difference"
With the writing of these two lines he expresses to his audience that if he had taken the other road his choice could of changed his life. He does this to show that your choices are potent and could make life challenging whereas another decision could create an simple life.

Assignment 8
One significant conflict of the novel, "Night" by Elie Wiesel, had Eliezer and his father to choose between leaving the hospital and moving on with everyone else even if his leg had barely healed or stay and wait for their liberators. With the other patients' opinion of when they leave they will either summarily killed and sent to the crematory or mine the camp then blow it up after the end of the evacuation, with this in mind he chose to go with the "valids". This decision tied in with the theme,"survive no matter what" because he wanted to survive if his roommates' hypotheses came true. Apparently if he had stayed in two days he would have been liberated and his father may not have died.
