In chapter eight of Night, Elie’s father, Shlomo, struggled with inhuman treatment more than once. He became ill and was unable to control where and when he relieved himself.

The book Night is about Elie Weliezer and his father in a concentration camp, trying their best to stay alive. Throughout the book, Eleie ended up having to take care of himself and his father, so Elie had to go through so many obstacles with his father, who was dying through the process. The author, Elie Weliezer, wrote the book with lots of important/specific details, which made it easier to understand and visualize. "Not far from us, flames,huge flames, were rising from a ditch. Something was being burned there."
The book Night by Elie Wiesel is all about World War 2 and the Holocaust. This time period was between 1941 and 1945. If I were to choose one word to describe this book, it would be horrifying. The Holocaust is a very hard and horrible time period to go through. It was either live or die.

Symbols are deliberately used in stories to add deeper meaning, not only for the readers but also for the characters themselves. Michael Meyer defines symbol as, "A person, object, image, word, or event that evokes a range of additional meaning beyond and usually more abstract than its literal significance" (Meyer 972). In "Battle Royal" by Ralph Ellison, the narrator struggles to understand his grandfather 's advice, he tries to live by it only to feel as if his grandfather mocks him for it. Throughout the story there are many symbols which seem to suggest a connection to the circus but are not understood by the narrator until he a dreams of them once more. The dream highlights these symbols that compare the lives of African Americans to a
Celia Bowen is one of the protagonists and involved in every major part of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. We meet Celia very early on when we learn she is the daughter of Hector Bowen, better known by his stage name Prospero the Enchanter. Prospero was the best illusionist until he faked his death. Celia played an impactful role in both the plot and influencing the themes of this story. Celia portrayed an impactful role in plot multiple times throughout this book.

The book that I chose to read was The Midnight Library written by Matt Haig (2020). This book portrays how strongly depression can negatively affect an individual throughout their life and how multiple life events can lead people to believing the only option is suicide. I believe that people who are depressed will often suffer in silence and decide to not speak up and get the help that they need. Matt Haig does an excellent job of bringing to light to a topic that is often overlooked. He accomplishes this by writing about a fictional character named Nora Seed.

The use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities is used very often in the story, “Morte D’Arthur.” The Excalibur sword, round table, the young maiden walking across the lake, and the pursuit of the Holy Grail all are examples of symbolism used in Thomas Malory's, “Morte D’ Arthur.” ‘“‘And ye see any manner of sword drawn, look that ye come on fiercely, and so slay all that ever before you shadth, for in no wise I will not trust for this treaties.’”’ (Thomas Malory 498)
