How To Write A Short Story: Elie Wiesel's Night

Improved Essays
Night and the lovely stars that it brought out was one of the many things she not only loved but adored. Being able to sit directly under them, to stare at them was one thing she thought she would never be able to do. The young blonde that always had a smile painted on her face, the one who walked around the city without a care in the world was not always like this. There once was a time not so long ago where she wasn’t allowed to do such things as walk the streets freely. Living with her mother for 18 years she grew up very sheltered. Her mother always told her that the outside world was no place for a young girl like herself but those words did not keep her from wanting to walk freely down the street.

The first time she saw them lightening the lanterns and releasing them it took her breath away. She begged and begged her mother to take her to see it but Mother never did. But now she did not need to worry about begging her mother, with the help from Flynn she was sure she was going to be able to see them.

With the slight nod of the head she walked past the male who stood at the front of the door. Rapunzel assumed he was a bouncer but in her honest opinion the male didn’t really look the part. He was smaller, smaller than most of the bouncers she had seen standing guard at the door. “Looks can be deceiving.” She whispered to herself as she made her way further into the club. Before reaching the club part of the club she could hear the muffled noise of music. A smile slowly crept its way onto her face.

Upon reaching it she spotted none other than Minnie's lovely roommate out on the dance floor. Rapunzel was hoping to see Minnie at the club but Wendy was just as good. There was also the chance she knew where Minnie was, Rapunzel wanted to speak with Minnie about a few things. Taking a deep breath she made her way out onto the dance floor. Reaching her hand out she tapped Wendy on the shoulder, a smile crept its way on to her

    Elie Wiesel’s Night teaches about the Holocaust from the perspective of a Jewish boy named Eliezer. Reading and analyzing Night has conveyed points about the Holocaust that differ from topics that I have studied in the past. The main point of my analyzation of Night is the dehumanization of the Nazis’ victims, mainly in concentration camps. Many past Holocaust books and movies that I have studied focus more on the events that happen before the concentration camps, but Night takes place almost entirely in the camps. It helps me to see the Holocaust from a different perspective than the one that I have been seeing it from every year.…

What I like most about Elsa is that she’s single.…
