Prologue
The Holocaust was a tragedy that happened in the 1940’s . It took around 11 million lives, 6 million of them being Jews. The victims of the Holocaust went through hell. They were starved, beat, and separated from their families. It is very important that we don’t forget about the atrocities of the Holocaust because if we forget about them we are opening a pathway for another tragic event to take place. We also can’t forget the Holocaust because we should honor all the victims for their perseverance and bravery. While reading this book I had some epiphanies go through my mind as I was reading. One of the being as I was reading through chapter 3. AKiba Drumer stated “God is testing us” (Wiesel pg.45) Akiba’s statement was 100% true he was testing the Jews to see how much faith they had in him and who would give up on him and who …show more content…

This made me realize in my own life that God has been testing my faith lately, and I need to keep my faith in him and have a stronger relationship with him instead of giving up and not believing in him. Another epiphany that occured to me as I was reading was the father and son relationship that Elie and his father had. This made me realize that I need to take time to spend with my family and never leave without saying I love you and hug because we never know what could happen. All books have a theme or themes. In the book Night there are 3 main themes that sticks out to me one of them being faith. Faith is a big theme in this book the main character Elie had all the faith in the world at the beginning of the story but by the end he had lost it all. Elie’s friend AKiba drumer also had faith but when he lost it he gave up and died. Without faith it's harder to live. Another theme would be the father - son bond . The bond that Elie and his father had was unbreakable. If they wouldn’t have had each other they both probably would have died early during their experience in the

He explains the suffering caused by the Germans and how they were treated in the camps. In this book, the Jews were dehumanized many times by the Germans to make them feel small. The Germans do this by starving them, beating them, and making them feel like nothing but an object.

In the book Night, we the readers witness the hardships and struggles in Elie’s life during the traumatic holocaust. The events that take place in this story are unbearable and are thought to be demented in modern times. In the beginning Elie is shown as a normal teenage Jewish boy, but the events are so drastic that we the readers forget how he was like in the beginning. Changes were made to Elie during the book, whether they were minor or major. The changes generated from himself, the journey, and other people.

One of the most compelling themes in night is Identity. Identity is such an issue for Wiesel because the events of Night coincided with Wiesel’s adolescence. Elie is seemingly firm in his identity and self awareness at the beginning of the Novel. He prioritizes his faith and he conceptualizes his place in society in relation to others. Once Elie is forced to spend an impressionable part of his adolescence in the Concentration Camp, his sense of perception is warped.

1a.) - a. The missed chances have shown me how there are always a few opportunities to choose between, but there is always a different outcome for each side. The book states, “In those days it was possible to buy emigration certificates to Palestine” (Wiesel 8-9). With this opportunity, Elie could have fled to Palestine, but he chose not to.

To introduce the image and the book I’m going to say what means the interplay between satisfaction (fulfillment of one's expectation needs or wants pleasure) and regret (feeling sad or reprentant over something that has happened). What we can break down from these two words towards the book is that at every moment of history it can be observed that there have been moments of satisfaction such as when father and son passed the test to avoid being sent to the gas chamber or when they receive a piece of bread to be able to feed themselves, on the other hand, the other person has been able to hand, you can also see that they go through moments of regret such as when they are separated from their mother and sister “Men to the left”. Women to the right!” (page 29), or in the last moments of their father's life.

Grace Trost Night by Elie Wiesel March 30, 2015 Book 1. I would've said to him,"If there really is a God then he would send mercy as it is necessary, but if there isn't then what is the point of wanting to die to escape this place because if you see death as a relief because you would be going to heaven, but if there is no God then there is no heaven to go to. You just have to hang on and believe that God will save you when the time is right. God is just testing our faith and we need to stay strong so that he will have the joy of going to heaven and being with him once this is all over.

Throughout the novel Night, Elie and his father overcome many struggles. They overcame a lot of struggles most kids wouldn’t be able to go through most of the things they went through. The novel and the movie are very different though. The novel in my opinion is way better than the movie. Throughout the novel, Elie’s purpose in life changed from the beginning from the end.

Throughout the book night, you see many examples of the will of the human being whether it is weak or strong, Such as Juliek's strong will to play his violin and raise the spirits of his fellow men, or Akiba Drumer's weak will, as he slowly loses his grip on his faith. Through all the examples of these people's wills, I think that the theme of this book is that through hardships, the will of a person is truly revealed. Some examples of hardships for Elie were the ghetto and the horrors of the concentration camps. He had gone through beatings and malnourishment.

When Wiesel said that he had ceased to feel human, he mean that he prefer to give up, to die not to feel pain anymore. Also, he means that death might be better than living at that moment, hat it would be so easy to just fall off to the side and die then there would be no more pain or misery. He wouldn’t be cold, his foot would be not hurt, he wouldn’t be hungry, tired or anything. He has seen over and over other people just… not really give up. But more… give in to death, and if it wasn’t for his dad he probably would have done it.

To find a man who has not experienced suffering is impossible; to have man without hardship is equally unfeasible. Such trials are a part of life and assert that one is alive by shaping one’s character. In the autobiographical memoir Night by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, this molding is depicted through Elie’s transformation concerning his identity, faith, and perspective. As a young boy, Elie and his fellow neighbors of Sighet, Romania were sent to Auschwitz, a macabre concentration camp with the sole motive of torturing and killing Jews like himself. There, Elie experiences unimaginable suffering, and upon liberation a year later, leaves as a transformed person.

It's amazing to realize how much the human body can endure and still think of others. This man took hundreds of beatings and separated from his family yet still put others in front of him. He would steal bread from the bakery he worked at before he was selected and give it to his friends in the ghettos. He, like Eliezer, was put in ghettos.
