LA9:
In Night, Eliezer has a life-changing experience that brings him to tears: he has to watch a young, beautiful boy die slowly through being hanged. On top of this, once the small child is dead, he must walk by him and stare at his face. This experience is something he will never forget. We see that by experiencing this, Eliezer is more thankful for what he has, more appreciative of the little things in life, and has probably also changed in a lot of other ways.
In life, we all have experiences, though maybe not as drastic as this one, that change us forever. Below, please tell us a short summary of a life-changing experience you have had--it doesn't have to be sad, it can be something that inspired you or made you happy as well.
A life-changing experience for me is being able to play high school sports. They have inspired me to continue playing and to get better everytime. Also my teams have helped me to become a better person and at sports.

ReplyDeleteIts good that you are able to be a person who can get over their past and get on with their life. That is a very hard thing to do for some people. I know that if I were in your shoes I would try to learn from it and be around friends who are able to motivate you to keep moving not tear you down.
DeleteIt can be so hard for people. It was especially hard for me and I'm still in wonder on why. Nothing can be completely in the past till I get answers but majority is. Thats the main thing that I know I have strength to get through anything. Life isn't easy if it was it there wouldn't be a rewarding place afterwards.

She shows me many things in life I may not have discovered without her.

There are so many possibilities out here and I can't wait to explore them.

As we were going to the forth hole I just about ran over my grandma. Before I was about to hit her I slammed on the breaks, well my grandpa did.(We later found out about that the cart that we got was had bad breaks and the gas and brake peddle were screwed up.) I almost when into shell shock when it happened. I was changed by that making me more careful and causes... also I learned to always ask for the NON malfunctioning golf cart when I go golfing.
ReplyDeleteMy life changing experience was my first time hunting. I was very young i don't remember how old but i went with my dad to the woods and all i had was a bb-gunn. I had shot bigger guns before but my dad had a .22 on him, and we were walkin and we saw a squirrel. Dad was going to shoot it but he decided to let me try so he handed me the rifle and leaned against a tree and got him in the sights. I shot one time and got him right in the head, thats my life changing experience becuase it made me who i am and what i like to do today.
ReplyDeleteOn monday we had a game against a team with eight guys and we had 5 guys and we beat them. They were 10-2 and we were 7-4. They were really good and fast but we came out two hands screaming and kicked their butts. The win tought me that no matter how small we are, we still are awesome.
ReplyDeleteA Life changing experience for me was when my mom told me that my unlce was diagnosed with cancer When he was younger, and my great grandma had it too. this was life changing because i had this thought that i could get it.

I know that i need to live my life to the fullest and stop worrying about other people, because i see that i am not here for anyone else.
ReplyDeleteGreat job to all of you! It is really great reading about your life-changing experiences. Now we can sympathize with Eliezer's character in Night and Elie Wiesel's personal experience by seeing how much of an impact little things can have on us.
