Theme Paragraph For Night By Elie Wiesel

Night Theme Paragraph Imagine having a loving family, and you're the happiest you could ever be, but then you get everything taken away from you. What would you keep? In the book Night written by Nobel peace prize winner, Elie Wiesel, He answers that same question throughout the the story. He shows through his marvelous writing that family is the one thing he would keep, and that family is the one thing everyone should keep with them because in a crisis, family is the only reliable constant. Elie shows this through the story when he writes about himself at just 15 years old wanting to be with his dad, when he wrote about Rabbi Eliahu, and when he wrote about his mother and sisters. One of the ways Elie showed the theme of the book was when he didn't leave his father's side during the entire book. “The ss officers were doing the selection the weak to the left those who walked well to the right. My father was sent to the left. I ran after him...” (29). Elie running after his father even though he knew, or thought, he was going to die. Elie shows that his father needed him, so Elie was there for him. All Elie wanted to do was be with his father. That's one way Elie displayed that family is the only reliable constant in a crisis. The theme of the story was also shown through another father and son.

“Perhaps someone here has seen my son?” He had lost his son in the commotion. He searched for him among the dying,to no avail. Then he had dug through the snow to find his body in vain.” (90). Rabbi Eliahu only cared about finding his son, he didn't care if was cold, or tired. He searched through other people's dead bodies just to find his family. There is the second example that Elie put into his writing to prove that family is important to keep in a crisis. The theme was represented throughout the story by Elie’s mother and sister
