Dear school board,

I believe night should not be banned because it is a true story about a boy going through things we could never imagine. We need to know about things like that because that is history and we need to know the history or we would all be walking around clueless knowing nothing. The holocaust is a big topic and shouldn't be banned at all.

We cannot ban Night By Elie Wiesel because you have to understand the author's point of view and the character's point of view. In the story night, Elie had to face so many challenges like seeing people die from starvation being beaten and so much more. He had to leave his mom and sister behind and watched so many friends die. We, kids, need to read the book night so we can feel the same pain he had to go through and be able to relate to him at that moment in the story. In passage one, the Jews were forced to get off trains and dig big holes in the ground until they were tired. The Jews didn't realize they dug holes for the children. The holes they did were for the germans can throw the dead kids in and use the kids as practice targets for the …show more content…

Elie wrote the book so this would never happen again and to tell people what he really had to go through because some people think the holocaust was fake or not as bad as people make it but it really is bad because million of jews died and Elie was one of the surviuojs of that and had to watch his whole family leave ad die infront of him and he wants people to know that all those events of staving, being beaten to death, watching his father slowly die over the years, he wanted to commit subside so many times he wrote the book so these events won't happen to nobody ever again or have to go through what he had to go through during his time in the Holocaust, It's amazing how he survived it and lived to tell his side of the

In the preface of “Night” a book and memoir about the holocaust, by Elie Wiesel, he writes that he doesn’t know or no longer knows what he meant to achieve by writing the memoir. Earlier in the preface we are informed that the reason he began writing “night” was because he believed that he left the camps alive by chance, and that he didn’t deserve it more than anybody else thrown into German concentration camps. After realizing this he didn’t want to waste what he had and because of that he immediately set pen to paper and began writing a book that would bring its writer the nobel peace prize. But what did he achieve in this book?

Elie Wiesel’s Night should not be banned from the book list for ninth grade because it is a book that teaches very important lessons despite the fact that it contains violent scenes. The book shows that we should treat people in a good way even if they are not like us. It reveals the horrible consequences of inhumanity, the meaningless suffering and unbearable pain of innocent people. These reasons show that the book is very important for the grown-ups because it deals with fundamental questions about humanity and moral values.

I think Night should stay on Mrs. Avila’s book report list because this is a book that more students need to read because Elie Wiesel and other holocaust survivor’s stories should be remembered so history won’t repeat itself. I didn’t like that Night left me with many questions, like did Eliezer ever completely restore his faith in God, what happened to his leg after undergoing an operation, why wasn’t his sisters and mother mentioned ever again, I also wanted to know if Eliezer ever has a bright light in the future. If you believe the world is all sunshine’s and rainbows, your whole view on life is about to change. Night opened my eyes, the world is not perfect. There is evil people in this world.

At the end of the book, Elie survives but lost many loved ones, including his father, and constantly mentions how he is "unworthy" to be alive, and how he feels like he doesn't deserve to live. Elie made this book to share his story as someone who had actually experienced the holocaust and has it as a core memory. “My father no longer felt the club’s blows; I did. And yet I did not react. I let the SS beat my father.

He showed the readers a personal view of the Nazi's treatment to the prisoners. The hell Elie went through in the camps is something that he will never forget.

Because of the strength Elie had through this horrible experience he has gained a stronger

Traumatic experiences often lead to a decimation of humanity around people. This causes people to distrust everything, sometimes even themselves. In the beginning of the story, Elie explains his general mindset about himself during the time of his depression. The Holocaust, which is such a negative turning point in his life, causes him to lose the will to live as more people were quickly dying around him as well.

Even though some people believe that books should be banned because of the spread of false information and explicit content; however, books shouldn’t be banned because it may cause ignorance and it limits perspective. If the book Night is banned it can cause ignorance in kids. Based on chapter 1, it shows the beginning of what Elie is going through like how when the Hungarian police were acting all nice until suddenly they became aggressive when transporting Jews to the ghettos. Or in chapters 2 and 3 when the SS officers began to hit people in the cattle crafts and divided men and women after

Once liberated from these concentration camps, Elie has done much to make people around the world more aware of the indescribable events that occurred during his time in these camps, and make sure that people will speak out against these events instead of staying silent, so that these events may be prevented in the future. He wrote many pieces and delivered many speeches in attempt to lift the world out of indifference. I believe that Elie’s novel Night communicates his message more effectively than his speech, Perils of Indifference. Not only does it convey his message of that we all must speak out against

Elie Wiesel's powerful story in "Night" has the ability to inspire action in its readers, encouraging them to speak out against injustice. As cited by Wamariya, reading "Night" has the potential to awaken individuals from being mere bystanders to becoming agents of change. To combat bullying and make our school a secure environment for education and personal development, it is imperative for silent students to find their voices. As Wamariya suggests, we can follow in Elie's footsteps and use our voices to denounce injustice. Despite the presence of bullying and racism in our middle school, we have the potential to overcome it, but it will require students with the courage to take

There is a myth that deciding to attend a for-profit college represents a lack of cultural/social capital resources, rather than a rational, considered choice. I have found that the decision to attend one of these types of colleges is usually a well-planned process. A person might lack cultural and social capital resources, but that does not mean that they have not considered the pros and cons to this type of college and career starting path. For-profit colleges were specifically designed for people who need job security. There are specific market career paths that these schools offer that lead to the specific job the student wants, and that is why people choose to attend.
