Night & Maus Written Explanation In times of despair when things seem lost, we realize and remember the importance of things we didn't see the value of before. So realize the importance to recognize and appreciate all things that can be lost in a blink of an eye. In summary, the importance of people and object goes unrecognized until you no longer have them. Night is a true story based on Elie Wiesel's life experience in the Holocaust where he endures immense loss and suffering and fortunately makes it out alive. Many Jewish people arrived at the camp and soldiers ordered them to strip their clothes. Elie states, “For us it meant true equality; nakedness. We trembled in the cold” (Wiesel 35). The quote

Art wasn't alive during the events of the Holocaust in contrast to Elie Wiesel, Art had to interview his father to write Maus. Vladek and the other Jewish people went to a big hall while they shouted at them to get undressed and to leave their valuables, Vladek shares, “They took from us our papers, our clothes, and our hair” (Spiegelman 25). In relation to Night, Vladek in the scene is getting his identity basically getting taken from him, and felt fear and cold all at the same time. In the next scene, S.S. officers chose Jewish to put to work, while the weak were put aside to be taken away forever. Vladek on the other hand was very lucky because he knew how to speak English and for that he was put aside by a Block supervisor that wanted to learn English, he told Vladek to follow him where Vladek then witnesses something he hadn't seen in a long time, “Here I saw rolls! I saw eggs! Meat! Coffee! All the tables are full! You know what it was to see such things” (Spiegelman 32). This line from the story Maus connects to the theme because for Vladek to see such type of food at that time was a really rare occurrence for him and Jewish people as a whole for being dehumanized and no longer having access to that food. Vladek shows how much he missed that …show more content…
In the second scene, Elie is standing in the mud while dreaming of his mother’s hand on his face while he's sleeping on his bed. My visual represents my theme by showing how the things both Vladek and Elie no longer had impacted them in negative ways, in which they both recognize the need that they have for those things. I chose to make my Visual the way I did because those images stuck with me and I thought would look pretty traumatic. I chose the placement of those images so they could kind of compliment each other the best way possible. I chose to only color Night's side of the visual just because I didn't find color in Maus’s side fitting since I read the whole story in black and white and I couldn't wrap my head around adding any color that would fit. I chose the materials accessible to me which I'm so incredibly thankful for (you’re such an awesome teacher) initially I was planning to use a shoe box but I then found that I had no shoe boxes and my brother who’s a sneakerhead threw all his shoe boxes away because they were clutter) so I decided to make a display with paper. I chose the quotes that I put because I deemed them to be the most connected to my
Night is a memoir narrated by Elie Wiesel, a boy raised in Sighet, in Hungarian Transylvania. The story takes place in pre-WWII, just before the Jews were sent to concentration camps. As a teenager, Elie was very religious and curious about the cabbala so Moché, a poor local pauper. An order is later given that all foreign Jews were to be deported including Moché. Several months later, he escapes from his captors and returns to Sighet to give news that the Jews were actually being killed, but no one believed him; he was viewed as a lunatic.
Night is a book by Elie Wiesel about his experience with his father in the Nazi German concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald. They were given no food , the only thing they had was a piece of bread . They lived on snow . No one had strength left and they couldn’t handle it . Elie’s mother and three sisters get separated from Elie and his father.
Night is a book written by the author and nobel peace prize winner Elie Wiesel. It is not a fictions book, but it is a life story. In the book, the people are not characters, but true people whom our author met and knew during this time. Elie Wiesel was alive during the Holocaust as a Jew forced to live in ghetto. The book is told from his perspective, and tells what happens at the largest concentration camp, auschwitz.
Night is a book that is based off the true story of Elie Wiesel living his life through the holocaust. The book is written in first person as Elie lives through the horror of World War ll. Elie was only twelve years old when World War ll and the holocaust started. Elie and his family lived in a small house in the town of Sighet, Romania. He was a very smart kid and was engaged in Jewish mysticism.
Night, by Elie Wiesel, is about his experience in the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel gave a speech, “The Perils of Indifference”, at the white house in front of the president about “indifference” and its effect. Throughout his memoir and speech, Wiesel uses rhetorical devices to encourage his readers to speak out for victims and not be silent when others are in danger. In the book, Night, Elie is taken to a camp with his family, he then is separated from his mother and sisters.
Night is the memoir of what Elie Wiesel experienced in the Holocaust as a teenager. A concept that recurs throughout the memoir is dehumanization. In Night, Wiesel skillfully tells his experience, from beginning to end, of the Nazis isolating the Jews from the rest of the world,
The stomach alone was aware of the passage of time." (Night page 38). Maus is a graphic novel written by Art Speigelman from the perspective of Vladek Spigelman. “I know this is insane, but I somehow wish I had been in Auschwitz with my parents so I could really know what they lived through!”
Night is a memoir of a Jewish boy who lives to see the horrors during the Holocaust. He tells an emotional tale of his scarring experiences at multiple concentration camps. He begins with his family in his hometown of Sighet, where they are forced into supervised ghettos. The authorities then begin shipping the Jews into concentration camps, in which he is separated from his mother and sister. He and his dad are then forced to Auschwitz, where they begin their series of struggles.
Night is a beautiful blunt, raw memoir written by Elie Wiesel, covering his experience in the Holocaust. Night is an influential and emotionally striking story about power being used for evil, resulting in the death of tens of millions people. When discussing the holocaust, it is generally about the horrendous crimes committed, but not so much the fact the Nazi's saw what they were doing as perfectly acceptable; it is evident that because of the Nazi regime was (and their beliefs), they believed murder and torture was not to be looked down upon. This is a prime example that personal beliefs and values dictate what defines evil to each individual.
As a 16 year old, I would say that I go through a lot in my day-to-day life. Waking up early everyday for school, staying in school for 7 hours, studying, and eating meals that I would argue are sometimes not the very best. If I had to imagine my 16 year old self getting stripped away from my home, being separated from my family, and to live in absolutely unlivable conditions, I wouldn’t be writing this essay right now. These conditions, however, are the exact conditions that the then-teenager Elie Wiesel and many countless others have gone through during the Holocaust. Wiesel accounts his personal experience through writing a memoir, Night, in it his experiences written with much symbolism.
Night is a first hand experience from Elie Wiesel of life inside Auschwitz concentration camp. He describes the horrid conditions, treatment, and poverty they endured. He was with his father, but was separated from his mother and sister. They had to rely on each other for survival. The relationship between him and his father changed, along with Elie’s Jewish faith because of their traumatic torture.
Despite the brave front that Vladek has put in the years following the war, his story remains to be a tale of suffering, agony, and death. The story of Vladek’s survival during the Holocaust is the central aspect of the novel,
My eyes glance at the news with fright And I’m afraid to turn the radio on, For again I hear of Jewish persecution.” These pieces of evidence show that Maus and the poem represent the tone similarly by showing that they are both afraid of the holocaust and the events that might and have happened. Maus and the poem portray the tone differently because Vladek is fearful for his friends and family whereas the narrator is more fearful for the state of the world and the people as a whole. Evidence from Maus is on pages 83 and 84 panels 3-6 and panel 1 when Vladek is narrating to Artie and says,“The next day I walked o9ver to Modrzejowska street
The Significance of Loved Ones “‘The only thing that keeps me alive,” he kept saying, “is to know that Reizel and the little ones are still alive. Were it not for them, I would give up’” (Wiesel, 45). This is said by a Jewish man attempting to fight an onerous and exhausting fight against death. His family was his will to live.
The book, “Night” was written by Elie Weisel, a survivor of the Holocaust. Weisel was put through so much at such a young age. The book he wrote explains his point of view of what had happened during the Holocaust. During Chapter 3 of the book is when Elie and his father begin to experience multiple representations of dehumanization of the Jewish prisoners in the Nazi concentration camps. The way they feel dehumanized affects their identity and sense of self.
