Instinct, Intelligence, Adaptability, and Ingenuity are equally used within the novels I’ve read by the protagonists inside of the novels. The ways in which Instinct, Intelligence, Adaptability, and Ingenuity is used within my Summer Reading Novel is explained in the following paragraph. Over the long and seemingly endless summer, I read a book that that told the struggle of dealing with an eating disorder and overcoming the death of a close friend. The protagonist of the novel (Lia Anderson), felt apathetic towards the pain she committed on her body via cutting and starving herself from the beginning of the novel until the very end of the novel. The ways in which Adaptability is helpful happen to be in my novel Night, which states from the main character’s point of view, that even through days, weeks, and months of torture, the protagonist and his father seem to have now become apathetic to the torture of their fellow men, women, and children.…
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.…
From deportation from Sighet to murder at Birkenau, deception was often used to manipulate the prisoners, How does deception dehumanize?.

Elie Wiesel’s well-known book Night is based on his own terrifying experience with his father at the Nazi Germany concentration camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald from 1944 to 1945 in the midst of the Holocaust and the Second World War. In as little as 100 short pages of scarce and fragmented narrative, he writes about the demise of God and loss of humanity, which is reflected in the inversion of the father son relationship as Wiesel’s father’s gradually declines into a state of despair and Elie becomes his indignant caregiver. The memoir tells more than just a story: it tells of the loss of spirit, faith the horror of death and continuing to live with the horrible memoires that continue to haunt…

The Cruel Final Solution There was a conference that was known as Wannsee, that was held in Berlin, 1942. At the Wannsee conference, the SS, subdivisions, handled what was known as the Final Solution that targeted the Jews.

Violated Virtues “Humanity? Humanity is not concerned with us. Today anything is allowed. Anything is possible, even those crematories….” - Chlomo Wiesel (Night, chapter 3).…
The Book Night was intended to teach its readers the sorrow, horrors, and personal experiences of Elie Wiesel and the Holocaust itself. My poem has 1-2 titles and a couple of words and symbols to summarize the important symbols and representations of each chapter. I believe my poem does properly convey the message of the memoir. I can easily identify how smushed each Jew had to be to the millions of others, the rations of bread and the importantoce of soup made, the pipel boy or their Gods execution, and the immense loss of hope, and resurgance of it.…

Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel, observed the actions of his fellow sufferers and in his publication, Night, stated, “We should show God that even here, in this enclosed hell, we were capable of singing his praises”(). As demonstrated in this passage by Wiesel that despite the injustices that prove to continuously leave the victims battered and broken, they are able to carry themselves upon the backs of one another to support their beliefs, and keep their dignity in tact. It is through instances of this ability to maintain self-worth that curiosity arises as to how and why many possess the capability of doing so in times of strife and struggle. Dignity serves as a backbone for those afflicted by the grievances of the world.…

During this time the Jews abandon their religion and values. Not all the Germans may have liked the Holocaust but, to protect their lives they had to follow the rules or be disciplined. Jewish people were treated unimaginably brutal during this time.…
“In the concentration camps, we discovered this whole universe where everyone had his place. The killer came to kill, and the victims came to die” (Elie Wiesel). This alternate universe is nothing but one of destruction: the death of the soul. When one is constantly being beaten down, one no longer desires to live. In Elie Wiesel’s Night, the Jewish people lose their desire to live as a consequence of enduring extreme dehumanization at the hands of the Nazis.…
