Question

After Auschwitz:

3. Imagery consists of descriptive words and phrases that create sensory experiences for the reader. Wiesel writes: “Here heaven and earth are on fire.” What image is he communicating? What effect does it have on the reader?

Answer 1

Answer:

He is communicating the image that no matter what way you look at that situation, it is horrific and horrible. It has the effect of hitting the reader hard and making them realize that even if you were not in the camps, the horrors were still occuring  right under your nose in heaven and hell.
