When people hear failing, the first thing they think of would be to give up. Ha Songnon’s “Waxen Wings” describes a narrator doing the complete opposite, it’s set in Korea, about a girl,nicknamed Birdie , that wants to fly but has to overcome some obstacles that come in the way of her fulfilling her dreams, because of that this story is a tragedy. The author uses second person POV and cause and effect structure to prove that even though people fail, that does not mean that they necessarily have to give up. “Waxen Wings” can be described as a tragedy. A literary tragedy is a series if misfortunate events that a character goes through that eventually end in a disaster or catastrophic events.
This is highlighting the internal struggle faced by bystanders who must make difficult choices in extreme circumstances. Through these traumatic events, Weasel draws attention to the complex nature of bystander responsibility and prompts us to reflect on our capacity. In conclusion the ethical question of bystander's responsibility raised by “Night,” we are confronted with the moral difficulties of human behavior in times of extreme atrocities. Through external sources and powerful moments within the novel, some argue that bystanders bear responsibility for Hitler and the nazi actions, but evidence suggests otherwise. The holocaust shows the consequence of others' actions.
The book “Night” by Elie Wiesel is a powerful and thought-provoking account of the Holocaust, and it raises important questions about the human capacity to face great adversity. The characters in “Night” are forced to confront unimaginable hardship and suffering. They are stripped of their homes, families, and basic human rights, and are subjected to unspeakable atrocities. Despite all of this, many of them find the strength to persevere and survive. The book has taught me how when a person is faced with great adversity, they must persevere to maintain their human spirit.
Rubino Salmoni and Eliezer Wiesel tell their stories not to revel in the dark moments, but to show their readers the light in the horrific situation they lived through.

In the story, the narrator subscribes to the idea that “Blameworthiness…depends on the idea that a person could have done something other than he did. And so he is held responsible, by himself or others” (Sherman 154). He holds himself responsible for K.’s death because he feels he could have done more to save him. But, his own instinct for survival that warned him that something was amiss before the wave came
Survival doesn’t always come easy, most of the time you will have to make decisions that will make others judge you, whether you like it or not. For example, if someone left their friend to save themselves, should these people be held accountable for their actions? People shouldn’t be held accountable for those actions because when it comes to life or death that’s so much pressure to that person so of course they’re going to make mistakes and everyone makes mistakes we just have to learn from them. However, people will argue that if they put themselves in that situation they should be held accountable for their action In a story titled The Seventh Man, The story is about a boy and his friend who go to the beach after a storm and they end up in a life or death situation. When they were on the beach out of nowhere a huge wave starts to come towards them, which can kill them both, the Seventh man makes a decision “i told myself to to run over to K….
Survivor stories have held the truth about disasters in the world better than oral storytelling can possibly achieve. The only thing readers would assume about survivor stories is the recurring idea of surviving a horrible incident. However, two particular survivor stories - Night, a memoir by Elie Wiesel about his horrid experience in the Holocaust; and Revenge of the Whale, the true story of the whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick - have more resemblances and distinctions than one could see. The straightforward system that Eliezer Wiesel from Night uses to maintain hope is inadequate to the hope-crushing techniques the crew members from Revenge of the Whale use.
His inability to move on highlights the lasting impact of loss and the profound effect it has on one's life
