Night Book Reflection

Decent Essays
First off this book is a very well written book explained in detail and I admire how Elie wrote this book and how he shared it with the world. I give this book 4.5 stars out of 5, just because it was a phenomenal book and very well written but, the book is for a little more higher level reader and just all around the book was great but wasn't perfect. Throughout this book you experience a lot of emotions and there not all sad. Which I think is a good thing for a sad horrific story like this. But, it also shows his own feelings which is a good visual to the audience reading what he was feeling. I also think this book told the truth and didn't sugar coat it. It was straight to the point. Last this story had a hope filled ending and I think that

    In the book, it shows how people's emotions or feelings changed towards the people they love when times get worse. For example, before Elie’s family and neighbors had been in the ghetto, they had promised each other with comfort and safety. Also, when the young men had beat Madame Schachter when she had her vision of the fire, instead of comforting her, they had beat her in front of her own son. Finally, when Elie had to watch or leave his own father too die for his own survival. All these are examples of how bad people treat each other in times of suffering.…

    There for, Elie’s faith start to change during the holocaust when his being transformed to all kind of different camps. His first experiences was at Auschwitz concentration camp that’s where he saw men, women, children and little babies being thrown in the flame I can imagine what Elie’s was probably thinking.

    The novel Night was written as a first hand account of the actual events that took place during the Holocaust nearing the end of the Second World War. This account of the Holocaust underlies themes, not only of the Holocaust, but also of World War 2 itself. Some of these themes include the theme of darkness, not just the title of the story, but the physical and non-physical senses of the word. Another of these themes includes faith, particularly in Judaism, but also religion all across the world as they pertain to various ethical and moral decisions.…

    In his speech he has a whole section saying about how it is very easy to sit around watch and to not help or do anything about the problem. I thought this was very effective because it was so important that no one was helping earlier than they did. Elie also included some flashbacks which are important still connecting personal experiences to this tragic event. Flashbacks are important giving the person either reading or listening a visual of what really happened when he was in the camps. Elie talks about how the 1900s was the century of violence, mostly because of the holocaust, but there were other events that happened that were very violent including two world wars, countless civil wars, assassinations of the Kennedys, and Martin Luther King…

Mr. Nachshon also faced many tragic things like Elie did. “ I didn’t know that this was the moment in time and the place where I was leaving my mother and Tzipora forever” (Wiesel 29).…

    In awe of the pure, detailed and dark descriptions of his journey. Our teacher would make us write summaries of every chapter in 1st person of 2 to 3 characters. From there I felt I had three lives, my own omniscience watching events unfold, Elie himself watching his world become something out of a horror story and as his father watching a nation crumble. His words would speak to me with this colorful, yet sensitive candor that made me listen more. For the first time, I even cried while reading, I had developed an empathy with the help of a regular book.…
