Final for Reflection Question #1 Fernanda Gutierrez Franco 8A May 10th, 2015 I believe that Elie wrote this book because it was a way for him to communicate and explain what happened throughout those years of suffering. Elie and the other jews suffered a lot during the holocaust. Elie lost everything during the holocaust. His family to his fate to his need for life. Elie was filled with regret after not following the warning from Moshe the Beadle. Elie wondered what
be very important and tragic, but I felt a much greater connection and understanding for the Holocaust when I read the book Night by Elie Wiesel. Throughout the book Night we got to see what Elie Wiesel saw, through his eyes and words of experience. Elie Wiesel was a young boy, about fifteen, when the Holocaust first started to take place, which was 1941-1945. Wiesel and his family were taken by the Nazis and put on a train which was packed with other jewish prisoners and with no available light,
Holocaust, there are numerous examples of change happening in the life of Elie Wiesel. Because of all the terror and cruelty that he went through, Elie presents a clear image of transformation in his book, Night. As readers, it is eligible to see the methods and effects of his transformation. During the Holocaust, Wiesel changes from a spiritual, sensitive little boy to a spiritually dead, unemotional man. As the book begins, Elie introduces himself as a spiritual, young boy with a bashful personality
The memoir Night, by Elie Wiesel is a distinct imagery of loss of faith from beginning to end. Eliezer establishes the foundation of the story as a child who weeps when he prays and has a strong desire to learn more of his religion. “I cried because… because something inside me felt the need to cry.” (Elie Wiesel, Night, pg. 2). His faith was stronger than that of most Jews in his area, both the elderly and young. Although, as he move from camp to camp from his detainment, he began to wonder what
The book Night by Elie Weisel, and the movie Devil's Arithmetic have a lot of similarities and differences. The similarities for instance, are that they both take place during the holocaust, they both stress on the torture the jews went through during the holocaust. Both the stories also discuss that people are in denial about the holocaust. One of the more important similarity, which also foreshadows what is yet to come, is when Moishe the Beadle warns people about the terrible things he had to
Ellie Wiesel gave a speech, “Keep Memory Alive,” in 1986 when he was accepting the Noble Peace Prize, for his literally works in which he reveals his own experiences in Concentration Camps. Amongst all the things he says, one of the major things he focuses on is, “How could the world remain silent?” Why did American, this world in which we live on remain quiet when people, humans were treated so badly, groups of these people (The Jews) killed everyday, burned alive. For what? Being a different kind
words describe how the author Elie Wiesel felt while sharing his memoir in the novel Night. Elie was a young young 15 year old boy when his whole life changed forever, everything he knew and loved was taken from him, and there was nothing he could do about it. He struggled and matured so much in this two year span, learning not to rely on anyone, but himself. Although many things happened to Elie, the biggest thing that was affected was his relationship with his father. Elie and his father were never
Reading Night taught me that ordinary things began to symbolize different ideas. Bells symbolize death to the prisoners. Eliezer says, “At six o’clock the bell rang. The death knell. The funeral” (Wiesel 84). This quote is significant because it demonstrates the fact that the Nazi’s used bells to indicate or foreshadow death inside of the camps. Soup and bread symbolize life to the prisoners. When they are on a soup and bread diet, these two things
In the autobiography “They Cage The Animals at Night” the theme of caging the animals at night is repeatedly implied throughout the book. On pages 25 and 26 Mark is explaining to Jennings that he didn’t lose his Doggie, the nuns just came around at night and collected the stuffed animals while they were asleep, “It’s the rules!” he snapped. “They cage the animals at night! It’s the rules.” Mark has been at the orphanage for so long that he has learned to live with the fact that they take away the
