Night

January 4th, 2015

I am tired but can't sleep. "When you feel so tired but you can't sleep." Do you know that song? It's "Lights" by Coldplay. Tomorrow is school which means break is officially over. I am kind of sad. I don't want break to end but there needs to be school for good reasons. I am just in a dark room with a small light source, my phone. I just want to sleep. I didn't finish reading my book Night, but I will hopefully try to finish it tomorrow morning or something. Night is a memoir by Elie Wiesel. Elie Wiesel is a survivor of the Holocaust. He is still alive today, and I somehow wish I could meet him because he moved me with his story. The beginning of the book was boring, but as I read on it got so interesting. He was only around my age, 15, when the Holocaust occurred. He might have been naive at the start, but more and more he matured throughout the experience. He grew stronger and braver. I can't believe the Holocaust ever happened. It just sickens me but the past is the past. There's nothing one can do to change the past because traveling back in time doesn't exist. I hope people will learn from past mistakes like this one. I am going to try to shut my eyes now and hopefully fall asleep. Wish me luck!

Thanks for reading! Leave a comment below and tell me what you think. I would also love to hear any suggestions or requests on what I should blog next.
