Summary Of Day And Night By Elie Wiesel

Improved Essays
I notice that the ducks fade in with the background once they meet the fields at the bottom. I see two small villages in each corner which are the same, but aren’t at the same time. On the left bottom corner, you can find a white village while in the other hand on the bottom right corner you’ll find a black village. There are also two lakes next to each little village. The white village has a white pure lake while the black village has a black lake. This print is a good representation of symmetrical balance.
Day and Night was printed on a block in 1938 by the Dutch artist, M.C. Escher.
I believe that the artist was trying to convey a parallel universe because he’s showing the same birds, same fields, same towns, and same lakes, but in different

    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.…

    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 chapter begins with the family of Eliezer heading towards an "unknown location." Throughout this journey, the protagonist becomes more aware of this situation and evolves into a different person altogether. I think from the moment Eliezer's family had been on that train; there has been a significant change in the outlook for the future of their family. Eliezer sort of went from believing everything, to being more ignorant and hopeless about his situation. As stated, everyone ignored Ms. Schäcther who repeatedly said something related to a fire around them, "The fire over there!"…

    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.…

    Line: During my observation of Three Cranes, lines that appear to be distinguishable would be the horizontal lines as well as the diagonal lines. The horizontal lines are noticeable since the image appears to be in layers, which involve layers of soil, grass, shade, and light. Furthermore, the image presents diagonal lines through the posture, position, and sight of each crane. The crane whose body is closest to the soil represents a wide diagonal line that appears to be increasing from right to left; the crane that is located to the right of the image represents a diagonal line that appears to be narrow and increases from right to left and aims towards the middle top portion of the image; the crane in the middle of the image is slightly standing…
