Book Reports On Night By Elie Wiesel

The book I chose to read was Night by Elie Wiesel. It is an autobiography. Elie Wiesel is a Jewish American who went through the Nazi Concentration Camps during the Holocaust. He is an author, professor and an activist. He was born on September 30th, 1928 in Sighet, Transylvania.

The book Night written by holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, illustrates life in the holocaust. Through life in ghettos, labour camps, concentration camps, death camps and the final death march. Every Jew in Europe during the Holocaust has a different story, and Elie Wiesel is just one of the 6 million that are out there. Elie’s experience during the Holocaust has many similarities to other experiences, but also many differences. When Hitler came to power in 1933, there was an immediate hatred against Jews.

---Rough Draft--- While we probably all know that the Holocaust was a horrible stain on the fabric of society, Elie Wiesel's book shows that the acts of the Nazi's are more horrible towards the Jews than some of us may have been led to believe. Elie originates from a town known as Sighet located in what was previously known as Transylvania. Though Sighet was not part of Germany or Hungary, they were still abused by the SS soldiers, by trapping them in fenced off ghettos. They also soon transported them in a terrible cattle car ride, and treated them like slaves. But the meat of the story takes place in the concentration camp(s), where they are given minimal amounts of food and judged like dogs to see if they are worth keeping.

If his father was dead Elie would have had no other reason to fight; this is asserted by a desperate Elie on pages 98-99 “What if he were dead...there would be no longer a reason to live… I threw myself onto his body… I hit him harder and harder… my father half opened his eyes… breathing faintly… you see I cried” Elie was relieved to see his father alive; he started to cry. Even if it was freezing outside and he was on the verge of death his main priority was his father. Toward the end of the memoir Elie’s father gets extremely sick and is put in the crematorium. Elie no longer had a reason to fight; no one to lean on.

Night Sometimes life may offer unexpected things in an unexpected time leaving us to face with the world that can change for the worse. The world that was once being imagined as a perfect place, for a short span of time can turn into dread, crashing us down so hard that prohibits to stand up again. The famous book “Night” written during the darkness period of time of Elie Wiesel is an autobibliographical book about his brutal experiences of Nazi Germans concentration camps in Auschwitz and Buchenwald that beastly illustrates the idea of life changing moments. His heart touching lesson taught many readers how life, in a short period of time can change every good thing, every dream and illusion into terror.

In this book Elie speaks of his hardships and how he survived the concentration camps. Elie quickly changed into a sorrowful person, but despite that he was determined to stay alive no matter the cost. For instance, during the death

Fear is Destructive Fear causes people to makes judgements. It’s what makes people cautious and skittish, mostly in unsafe situations. Without fear people’s life would be at risk. Throughout the memoir Night fear builds up over time, starting when the Germans taking over Sighet, they slowly start to take over their lives.

Imagine being a young 15 year old boy barely fed, dehydrated and at a camp that was created for the purpose of killing thousands of people and immediately once you arrive losing your mother and sister. Elie shows extreme mental strength during this event, rather than trying to stop it from happening

This book is very important because it teaches the reader things they didn’t know well or proves to them that they are wrong if they believed that the Holocaust was not harmful. No one had the right to treat these people in that way and no one has the right to ban this book because this will be censorship. Night also shows the truth about the Holocaust and teaches us that this period in history should be prevented from happening

When Elie was in a lot of pain he sometimes thought of death as being a good thing and wanted to just give up. But he never did, he fought harder to survive when his conditions got worse and he would brush those thoughts away. For instance, “He was looking at my foot. ‘You think you’ll be able to walk?’ ‘Yes I think so’” (82).

Throughout the book, the audience is shown the terror that the Jews suffered during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel survived through that torture, and later wrote the book Night in an attempt for others to understand what happened. He used foreshadowing, diction that conveys demoralization, and analogies to aid his writing to depict what he saw. Though millions of Jews were killed senselessly in the Holocaust, words are everlasting, meaning Night will continue to enlighten people’s

In a span of 10 years, the Holocaust killed over 7 million people, that’s just as much as the population of Hong Kong. In the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel shares his experience on how he survived the Holocaust and what he went through. How he dealt with the horrors and even to how he felt of his dad’s death and how he saw himself after it was all over. As he tried to publish it he was constantly turned down due to the fact of how horrid and truful it was. He still tried and tried until it was finally published.

The two resources used in English II were Night by Ellie Weisel and Life Is Beautiful, co-written and directed by Roberto Benigni, both set in the midst of the Holocaust. The Holocaust is difficult historical subject for teenagers to understand. It is hard, almost impossible, for teenagers to comprehend, simply, the vast death toll. The number of people that died due to this genocide is so great that it doesn’t impact a teenager’s mind in the way that someone would expect. Those numbers become more real when using the resources that were used in English.

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.

Night Paper Assignment Night, by Elie Wiesel, is a tragic memoir that details the heinous reality that many persecuted Jews and minorities faced during the dark times of the Holocaust. Not only does Elie face physical deprivation and harsh living conditions, but also the innocence and piety that once defined him starts to change throughout the events of his imprisonment in concentration camp. From a boy yearning to study the cabbala, to witnessing the hanging of a young child at Buna, and ultimately the lack of emotion felt at the time of his father 's death, Elie 's change from his holy, sensitive personality to an agnostic and broken soul could not be more evident. This psychological change, although a personal journey for Elie, is one that illustrates the reality of the wounds and mental scars that can be gained through enduring humanity 's darkest times.
