Guard from Auschwitz

My name is Ferge Brient, and I am a guard at the concentration camp in Auschwitz. I watch thousands of men, women, children, and newborns walk into this camp, which most don’t leave. The train cars that are packed full of eighty or more people come show up with some dead already. Some think it’s better to die there than get put into the furnace, or work until you can’t anymore or become useless. 

That’s what I do, I work at the furnaces. I have one brother thats here too, but works as a “doctor.” He enjoys himself, I mean he’s free just has a sick and wrong job. He doesn’t understand that though... he experiments on people and kills them. Isn’t that wrong? I on the other hand, do not like it here...as you can tell. I know what is right and what isn’t. The women and children get separated from the men. The ones that are “chosen” are made to do hard labor, and the rest are sent to the “showers” or the furnaces. The showers are horrid, and the people are completely clueless. Walk in, strip down, and doors get shut and locked behind you. Sadly, the people have no escape and the gas that comes from the nozzles of the shower heads fills the room. 

We work long days, but get good serving sizes of breads, soups, and any other food there is to give. This is why my brother likes it. He thinks he’s on the “good” side. Is there sides? There should just be people, people that can have their own beliefs. I try to think of it from some of the prisoners perspectives, i probably shouldn’t though. You can’t let people see the ways you truly are, especially if your against people who can and will kill you. If your too reasonable, kind, or understanding...say goodbye to your life. It’s gone. 

I wish this war could end, and all the fire and bloodshed would disappear. The future, oh it would be great if it was bright, but the days people look back on this will be disappointing. Millions dead because of hatred. Will anyone notice that it was wrong?

What is Job?

Job was a pious man who suffered one undeserved misfortune after another. He lost his prosperity and his family and was then stricken with painful sores all over his body. In response, he dared to challenge God, protesting about his suffering, and asking why God allowed it. In Night, when Eliezer loses his faith, he resembles Job; he doubts the justice of God.

"Indifference is worse than hate"

Hate. To feel intense or passionate dislike for some. "If he went to the right, I would go after him," said by Elie Wiesel. He cared for his father, and was once afraid of the future to come. In one day, he experienced that really there was no hope. He saw what happened to people just because, and witnessed many deaths and tragedies in families...and in his own. Him and his father were separated from his mother and sisters and will never see them again. "Working is liberty," well not really. In this case it was...work or die. Choose one...and pick wisely. People died on the spot, or worked until they no longer could. Apparently don't ask questions...that's what Elie's father did, but to only be smacked so hard across the face he fell to the ground. Elie watched this happen, and he once felt this horrid hate towards the criminals...and now felt nothing. In one NIGHT he had changed. When watching this he felt sick, only because he didn't feel any presence of anger, but more of nothing. The future looked dim, and dark, and soon to be ending. "Indifference is worse than hate" Its better to feel something than nothing at all...

haha i think this is the final draft.....maybe.... =)

Who was responsible for the six deaths throughout the play?? This question can have many different answers by the way you look at it. Romeo, who was the center of the problem, caused many difficulties by his rash ways. However, who was the meddler? Who tried to help but only made things worse? Friar Lawrence.

When Romeo fell in love with Juliet, they decided to marry the next day. The “Father” figured by marrying them the family feud between the Montague’s and the Capulet’s would disappear. Therefore, they got married, and no happily-ever-after was insight. Tybalt decides to go after Romeo, but because Romeo and Juliet are now married, he refuses to fight Tybalt. So, Tybalt goes after Mercutio who baits him as a joke. Romeo steps in, but when he faces Mercutio, Tybalt takes a dagger and stabs Mercutio under Romeo’s arm. Again, Romeo is rash and in one split second, he decides that revenge is in order. He chases Tybalt down, stabs him, and then the Prince blames both deaths on him. Romeo is therefore banished, and goes to Mantua. This outcome made Lady Montague kill herself. The Friar broke laws that a “Father” shouldn’t nor ever would. He let Romeo and Juliet get married without telling their parents, gave Juliet poison, and held Romeo when he was wanted for murders. If the Friar never let them get married, the future for them could have turned out completely different.

Next, he gives Juliet a way out of having to marry Paris, which is where the vial or “poison” comes in. Taking the contents of it would give her the appearance of being dead. She does what he asks, and Balthazar sees her “dead” body and rushes to tell Romeo. Friar Lawrence sent Romeo a letter to tell him of this plan, but because of the plague, it never was sent. He believes that she is dead, rushes back, and buys the poison from the apothecary. Then, he goes to the tomb, and Paris is in his way so he kills him. He still thinks Juliet is dead, and he takes the poison and dies. Juliet wakes up, sees Romeo, and therefore takes her own life. If the Friar let things happen instead of meddling with other people’s lives and problems, they could be still living. Don’t meddle!!!

Romeo is in love with Rosaline! Then all of a sudden at the party, he sees Juliet, falls in love, forgets Rosaline, and marries Juliet the next day. What!?! Way way way too rash! Then when Tybalt stabs and kills Mercutio, instead of thinking about his NEW WIFE, he goes and gets revenge. Then, when Friar Lawrence’s plan backfires and Romeo never got the letters saying this was a scheme, he goes and buys poison from the apothecary. He kills himself without talking to anyone else. Romeo was way too quick to make his decisions, but the Friar Lawrence meddled when he shouldn’t have.

R & J

Friar Lawrence-
On Thursday Holy crap! That’s awfully soon!

Paris-
That’s how my future father-in-law wants it, and I will not disappoint him.

Friar Lawrence-
Ok, but you don’t know what Juliet thinks? Maybe you should find out then come back here.

Paris-
Tybalt just died, she’s upset, and I’m here for her to make her feel better. Let her cry on my shoulder. Its better to cry with me, then if she was to cry by herself. Let things calm down and then let me speak to her. Capulet is making the right move to move the date sooner.

Friar Lawrence- (TO HIMSELF)
Oh my goodness! I wish I didn’t know about any of this and I stayed out of the Capulet/Montague conflicts. Ugh…. here comes Juliet now….
(Juliet enters)

Paris- How you doen wifey?

Juliet- Ha-ha yeah that could be…if AFTER I marry you.

Paris- Chu will be Thursday! Ho! Fa sho!

Juliet- Excuse me!? Whatever happens will happen, and you in my future…. probably just…..wont happen.

Friar Lawrence- Yeah, truth!

Paris- Why are you here? Finally giving in to my hott bod, and confessing you totally love me?

Juliet- Ha-ha…right…like I speak that.

Paris- You so love me, and you know you’re impressed. Don’t fight it.

Juliet- Well I love Friar Lawrence, and that is true.

Paris-“Cough cough” …and me.

Juliet- Yeah let me just say I’ll tell the priest that.

Paris- Oh, your face is so sad, tears have affected it dramatically.

Juliet- It was like that before Tybalt died.

Paris-
(Singing)“You are beautiful in every single way”…. so stop saying that….right now. You need to be kind to yourself.

Juliet- I am oogly and that is what I know to be thy truth.

Paris- I OWN YOU B****! Stop acting like that!

Juliet- Well I don’t own my face, and I need time with Friar Lawrence. Are you ready father, or should I come back later?

Friar Lawrence- I have time, once this D-Bag leaves…hint hint.

Paris- Oh dear Juliet, I may not stand in your way to confess to the father about your love for me. I’ll wake you up on Thursday morning. Hold my kiss until I see you again.
(Paris leaves)
Juliet- This is a disaster! I do not know what to do! Cry with me father!

Friar Lawrence- I know of the situation, and I don’t know how you could solve this wretched problem. You marry Paris on Thursday? Is there a way of delaying it?

Juliet- Say something useful! Is there a way of stopping this so I can forget about this mess and go back to my loving Romeo?! I will stab myself if that is the only solution, and if I end up marrying Paris that’s gonna be an action. Advise, wisdom, anything?!?!?!

Friar Lawrence- Alright alright. There is something….but its dangerous. If you’re thinking of suicide, then you’ll be able to do anything…or at least what I have in mind.

Juliet- Seriously! Feed me to alligators, run me over with a semi, hang me on a post and let piranhas eat my flesh, shoot me with a shovel. Anything…I’ll do anything.

Friar Lawrence- Jesus! Ok. Well go back to your house and find your dad and be like, “Dad, getting married…Paris….Thursday.” You guys will hug, and then he’s going to want to celebrate with Paris and family the next night…which is Wednesday…BUT…say your tired and you need to go to bed. Do not let the skanky nurse follow you. This vial…it will give you all the symptoms of being dead. Cold and pale skin, no pulse, pupils will become larger. It will last for two days. I’ll send a letter to Romeo, he’ll come back for when you awaken, and then you two will escape to Mantua. Just don’t be a sissy girl and not go through with it.
Juliet- Whatever old man, just give me the juice!

Friar Lawrence- Do it, I will send someone immediately to Mantua to tell Romeo. Good luck.

Juliet- Thank you father, good bye, and send me with courage.
