Night, by Elie Wiesel was published in 1956 and has 120 pages in total I chose event from pages 20, 24, 31, 33, 62, 67, 82, and 88. I felt an attraction to Wiesel’s biography because his story make me thankful to appreciate the life that I have. The main theme are about religion, faith, family, survival, violence. Just to have the themes put in simple terms. This part of history is the 1940’s when World War 2 broke out in Germany. Wiesel went into the concentration camp when he was 15 years old. Later in his life he became an author and used this horrendous situation to make him stronger. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, French Legion of Honor and the United States Congressional Gold Medal. Also in 1986 he received a Noble

The experiences he presented gave a general feel of how the concentration camps were. I liked the selection of each event. Some were heart felt that made my heart feel all warm inside. Other tugged at my heart to break down and cry. From the horrible experiences to the hopeful ones, I couldn’t help but read this book a second time. The autobiography gives a great theme that these survivors will not be silent. The ending brings a tear to my eye. Finally! It’s all over. I love that! The happy ending conquer again. I hoped it would happen sooner, that’s the only thing I didn’t like, but overall I couldn’t help the happy tears falling down my face. The horrible situation that the textbook talked about doesn’t compare to the actual stories Wiesel told. I know in the lecture we saw images and they were depressing. But something about reading sets the Holocaust to another level. Wiesel makes the Holocaust sound terrifying. He lived through the Holocaust, so of course he will be bias against it. One thing I think the book can improve on is creative diction. More specific words and eye catching sentences. For example, “My foot was on fire” (Wiesel, 83). I think Wiesel could have made this more attention grabbing. I would have suggested “My foot was melting off” or something along those lines. Insert more hyperboles for effect, it makes a situation more interesting to me. I enjoyed this book to the point where I could eat it. I loved to get the opportunity to read it a second time. Also I got to look at the book in a whole new way. I recommend it to any and every one. Night is a book that everyone is the world should
