Dear Reader, 
 

The word I have chosen is Faith. I chose this topic because it is positive 
and I wanted to challenge myself to find the good in the dispiriting book 
called Night. To me, faith means that you believe in something. You push 
yourself to keep going and you have the motivation that there is light at the 
end of every dark tunnel. In Night I learned that even in the most difficult of 
times, there are still things to look forward to. In my book I have found and 
created genres that show faith in different ways. Some straight forward ideas 
and some vague ones. Thank you for reading :)) 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

POEM: 

Now You've Recovered 

© Charles A Cino 
 
When you recover, what will you do? 
When you recover, will you still be you? 
Will you be stronger, will you be new, 
When you recover from what you've been through. 
 
Can life get better than it was before? 
Will you realize your dreams and improve your score? 
Will people still remember your name, 
Or will they forget you because they're ashamed? 
 
Life in recovery may not be the same. 
The rules may have changed in this brand new game. 
You can pick up the pieces and make a new start, 
And courage and hope keep you from falling apart. 
 
The world all around you seems different and changed. 
Things that once were now seem out of range, 
But you can recapture your life and fulfill 
The dreams that were lost when you took ill. 
 
The journey to wellness takes time and is long, 
And those that get well are exceptionally strong 
For depression can kill, but you have survived. 
Your goal to recover has kept you alive. 
 
Now you're recovered, what will you do? 
You suffered and conquered and saw it through. 
Back from the black and abyss of despair, 
It is time to move on; it is time to care. 

 
Endnote: 

This is a deep and meaningful part of the poem. It can make this poem very personal. It 

shows that you need to keeping going and remember that there is a light at the end of the 

tunnel. Keep having faith in life and the fact that you have been resilient before.I chose this 

poem because mental health has been a struggle for teens lately and we need to be 

reminded to have faith in scary situations like this. 

 

SONG: 

End Credits by EDEN 

I dunno I just remember it being so much brighter I guess… 
 
Cigarette ash like wildfire 
Burning holes in the nighttime 
Open scars cut like barbed wire 
White lies flying high like a ceasefire 
Dropping flags on the shoreline 
This is as far as I can feel right 
'Cause what you don't know 
Can haunt you 
 
And all we ever wanted 
Was sunlight and honesty 
Highlights to wanna repeat 
Let's get away from here and 
Live like the movies do 
I won't mind when it's over 
At least I didn't think for a while 
 
So let's run 
Make a great escape 
And I'll be waiting outside for the getaway 
It doesn't matter who we are 
We'll keep running through the dark 
And all we'll ever need is another day 
We can slow down cause tomorrow is a mile away 
And live like shooting stars 
'Cause happy endings hardest to fake 
Yeah 
 
Sunsets on power lines 
Making a break for the otherside 
Heading out to where that sunshine 
45 millimeter rolling like we lost time 
Polaroids and outcast 
Rather burnout young than grow up fast 
And we could be forever futurebound 
'Cause all I need is time and now 
And I could leave this past behind me 
And maybe I'll see a way for me to stay 
When there's so much out there 
So I'll live forgetting for the time being 
And I won't mind when it's over 
At least I didn't think for a while 

Endnote: This part of the song creates a scene where they run away from the bad 
things to find something better. It's like motivation, this is they're goal in the end. This 
ties to faith because the people in this song believe that there is a place where 
everything is perfect. So they strive to go there and leave the negativity behind.I 
chose this song because I love it and it tells a story of people who want to get out of 
the isolated cage they feel like they are in. 

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

QUOTE: 

Barbara Johnson 
“Faith is seeing the light with your heart when all your eyes see is 
darkness” 

 
Endnote: This quote is metaphoric and it is explaining that faith is more of a 
mindset. I chose this quote because it has a deeper meaning, you are forced 
to think a little harder than usual. 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

BLACKOUT POEM: 

 
Endnote: My blackout poem ties in with faith because this page was not part of the 
story with a clear example of faith but I crossed out the bad words and left the 
happy words. I chose this because it is a unique way of writing a poem. 

 
 

ARTWORK: 

 

Endnote: This artwork shows faith because the person is looking over to the bright 
side, realizing that even though they are in dark times that there is always a bright 

side. I chose artwork because it is a good way of expression. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

5 night passages 

 

“At that moment, we were so anxious to hear 
something encouraging, a few words telling us 
that there was nothing to worry about, that the 
meeting had been routine, just a review of welfare 
and health problems…” -pg.13 
 
“You have already eluded the wort danger: the 
selection. Therefore, muster your strength and 
keep your faith… Have faith in life, a thousand 
times faith.” -pg.41 
 
“To watch that factroy go up in flames- what 
revenge!... Every bomb that hit filled us with joy, 
gave us renewed confidence” -pg.60 
 
“How do You compare to this stricken mass 
gathered to affirm to You their faith, their anger, 
their defiance?” -pg.66 
 
“I met my father… We were able to breathe again.” 
-pg.73
