Prologue

*Screech*

"The Athreals are growing complacent. They are mere branches of our greatness and to have fallen this ... low is proof of their weakness. Riches do not last and neither will they, if they do not achieve what was proclaimed."

*Screech*

In this shadowless room of darkness, a man with long, flowing hair, piercing gold eyes and a slender figure slowly stood up.

*Screech*

He held a longsword with a chain wrapped around it like a coiling snake. The silver blade was inbeded with three glowing stones, one green, another yellow, and the last blue.

*Scree--*

He sheathed the blade. The room was dragged out of the darkness and into the light. The screeching stopped. All that lay unchanged was the man himself. His eyes still

    Night is an autobiography by Elie Wiesel, which chooses the Nazi Holocaust as the background. Eliezer is the narrator of Night and the stand-in for the memoir's author. Chapters 8 and 9 were the most depressing and remorseful for me, and it’s so worth to read. In chapter 9, “From the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me. The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me”(p115)…

    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.…

    A title is one of the most important parts of a book. It can set the tone for the entire story and is usually one of the first things you see. Elie Wiesel decided to title his novel Night because it signifies a darkness that he faces throughout his time in the Nazi concentration camps. This word is illustrated frequently throughout the story. In my opinion, the author uses the word to symbolize the darkness that he encounters when he loses his faith in God.…

    Literate Arts can be fine for explaining a variety of historical, crucial events. Richard E.

Furthermore, Miller asks questions about historical events that have happened over time and probably impacted billions of civilians, which in my opinion is one thing the literate arts is excellent at describing.…
