Friday Night Games

My arms were killing me. In an effort to distract myself from the pain, I began to mentally go through my favorite scenes from Harry potter, but even the thought of my favorite book couldn’t keep my mind off my discomfort for long. Huffing, I lugged the water-filler bucket uphill, careful not to spill too much of its precious contents. That would mean another trek downhill and I’ve had enough of that for one day. I brightened up when I neared my destination- a simple hut made of mud and clay,…

The memoir Night, written by Eliezer Wiesel, tells of the experiences that happened in the Nazi German concentration camps during the Holocaust. Elie is separated from his mother and three sisters early in the book. The book tells of the horrific experiences that he and his father must face together. There are several themes that can be identified in this book, but I will concentrate on the struggle with faith. Raised to be a faithful young man, Eliezer Wiesel’s faith is tested but never truly…

NIGHT COMMENTARY In this passage from the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie had been snatched from his home and transported to a concentration camp, in a cattle car. Passage two talks about Elie’s first experience with the Nazis, and the process of how he was treated, and how he felt. This passage shows how a person can be dehumanized by being affected by war and tragedy, it talks about the use of imagery, symbolism, hyperbole, and other literary devices used by the author. The story is told in…

Night: by Elie Wiesel I chose to do a book report on this book called: “Night” written by Eliezer Wiesel.

This book is a first hand memoir of the horrors and painful experiences Elie Wiesel had endured when he was only fifteen years old. Throughout the book, Elie describes his struggle to keep his faith in God, as he is unable to believe that a loving God…

was a cold Friday night, the temperature was below freezing. I was working at McDonald’s, it was the only job I had been able to keep in the last couple of years. I was always recognized from the managers for being so friendly and kind to everyone including my co-workers, except on this specific night. I had been having mood swings all day and was not feeling good at all. I clocked in and got to work, for tonight's shift I was working in the drive-thru. Working drive-thru on Friday night was…

The air was crisp and cool. The sky was a deep shade of purple that signaled night was setting in the sky. There was no illumination of this land other than the shimmering moon and the warm, eerie glow from the apartment buildings scattered among the fields. In the fields themselves, insects buzzed and chirped, hidden deep within the underbrush. In the soil, prairie dogs scrambled fervently, navigating their tunnels in search of a nighttime meal. On the edge of the fields, a deserted path lay…

conclude that the guards of the concentration camps were the only ones who dealt out the inexplicable cruelty to the innocent Jewish prisoners of World War II. This statement later proves to be completely fictional. Elie Wiesel, writer of the memoir, Night describes the unthinkable injustice dealt to the prisoners by the German officers, but also the inconceivable: the dehumanization of prisoners by other prisoners. In his memoir, Wiesel goes beyond explaining the horrors of Hitler and the Nazi…

respite in sight. Elie begins to question his faith, and eventually he refuses to worship God. One of the most poignant ideas that Elie expresses to describe his lapse of faith, and eventual self-discovery, is this: “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my…
