Evil has been shown all throughout Night, like when people are put through extremely traumatic events.The book developed the theme of good vs. evil by creating a sense of cruelty, mass murder, and violence. Elie has seen a plethora of horrific events that no teenager should ever have to live through. He had to watch dozens of innocent babies fall out of the back of a pickup truck, and into a scorching pit of flames.Furthermore, Elie had to painfully stare into the eyes of a little boy as a rope…

The theme of the book Night is shown through many, interesting uses of author’s craft. But by looking at the author's craft in the book, I have found that I believe the theme of Night is the author wants to create awareness for the holocaust, and to show/ tell of his personal experience in Auschwitz, and the tragedies he faced on the hard journey he went on, In the form of a novel. the author uses audible craft to achieve his theme, first he says on page 60, “the lolling tongue of death”. This…

Locked In! Elie Wiesel’s work, Night, published in 1958, demonstrates the struggles Jewish society and other minorities faced in order to live a life of liberty.

On August 21, 2010, as my mother dropped me off at Georgetown Middle School, thoughts of panic plundered…

In The Face Of Fear In Night, Elie Wiesel focuses on the relationship between identity and mortality, specifically the idea that fear or prolonged sight of mortality can change one’s identity and the fact that a change of one’s identity can change our views on mortality.

When Elie felt death near through his hunger, he became “nothing but a body,” and “the bread, the soup -those were my [Elie’s] entire life” (Wiesel 52). All he…
