Dear Ms. Zrihen I am currently reading the book Dawn by Elie Wiesel. I picked this book because it won a Nobel peace prize in 1986, and because my sister recommended it to me and because it is about Elie Wiesel's experience in the holocaust because he was a survivor.
The passage I chose was on page 40 "God saved me from death, Gideon repeated . " His eyes saved me. I too was arrested and tortured. They pulled my beard, lit matches under my fingernails, and spat on my face, all in order to make me confess that I had taken part in an attempt against the life of the High Commissioner. But in spite of the pain i\I did not talk. More than once I was tempted to cry out, but I kept quiet because I felt that God's eyes were upon me. God is looking at me, I said to myself, and I must not disappoint Him. My tortures never stopped shouting, but I kept my thoughts on God and on His eyes, which are drawn to human pain. For lack of evidence they finally got to set me free. If I had admitted my guilt I should be dead."
The two before reading strategies I used before reading the book was that I skim and scanned through the book and I asked my self questions like if I ever read a book from Elie Wiesel.The two reading strategies I used during reading the book was that I reread important pages in the book and I brainstormed what would happen next in the story. I am not done with the book yet but I think my two reading strategies will be summarize and discuses the book with somebody else who also read it.
The genera is biography
The mood is sad
the point of view is 3rd person
the authors purpose is to tell a story
the authors perspective is objective bias.
the setting is all day
the conflict is character vs society.
I rate this book a 10/10 because it tells you about he holocaust.
Sincerely your student /classmate
