The sound of screams and sobs fill the air as children and their mothers say goodbye for the last time. This was a repetitive routine during World War ll. Night is a literary memoir of Elie Wiesel’s catastrophe in the concentration camps during the Holocaust. Throughout his recollection, the imagery used leaves no doubt in the reader’s imagination about the horrors Elie experienced. His diction and use of detail made his moral of the story as clear as glass.
His trip to Auschwitz is inhumane and torturous, however, it is nothing in comparison to what he witnesses in the camp. In the novel Night, written by Elie Wiesel, an average life is transformed into a nightmare that never ends.
In the beginning of the memoir night is less prominent. Also in the beginning of the memoir I had the feeling that he set the mood at dusk. As the book progresses the tone get darker as the references about being in the dark and night become more frequent. Therefore the book slowly slips from dusk to dark to night and then at the end the sun begins to rise but the carnage caused by the monsters of the night is still there. I also feel that night refers to not only his time in the concentration camps but also the officials and those who never spoke.

Justice was presented at the advantage of the stronger in this novel because eventually Eliezer, the narrator was freed and able to account the horrible story of previous happenings.
