What Would of Been: Eulogy For Elie Wiesel's Father

As of beginning of January, the whole 8th grade started reading "Night" a Nobel Peace Prize Winner by Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor. A survivor who went through the hardships that a Jew would go through during the Holocaust. The book is talking about Elie and how it was like to be in the extermination camp. The book is like an autobiography. Death was everywhere, it didn't seem nothing to Elie, but he does not notices his father's. Now, Mr. Little has asked us to write a eulogy for Shlomo, Elie's father.

I'd like to pay respect to my very own father, Shlomo. The man who raised me, fed me, took care of me when i was young. I appreciated everything he did for me, but it was since that day that the Nazi's had come into sighet, and took us. Me and my father were still together, and since we were put in Auschwitz, we had sticked together more every day. Even though all of our own things were taken away from us, me and my father were still happy that he had one and another. Until he had past away, yea death was everywhere i had gone, but his death was like if Elie lost a major part of his life. He did not know what to do. He was lost, but at the time he had to move on for his own liberty. I had made out free, but yet i was still crying out my tears. I miss him, I miss my whole family. But now i know that my own father is in a better place, I love you father, i will never forget you.

  1. Ok. I appreciate you including images with your post. You do a nice job of depicting the emotions Elie would face. However, you do include far too many spelling errors. "I" is always capitalized!
