Reflection On Night By Elie Wiesel

Decent Essays
‘’Those who kept silent yesterday will remain silent tomorrow.”
This quote is important because Eliezer talked about why he wrote the book. He wrote the book because he has a voice and he wants to tell his story about the Holocaust. I can relate to this quote because I am very much into politics. I know many others do not like to talk about politics, but I am really passionate about it. I like to use my voice on social media about issues. If you do not ever rant and talk about something or try to make a change then nothing will ever happen.Eliezer wanted to tell this story especially because the substance of the story is historical. I like to write emails and letters to my favorite activist and politicians to tell them about my views. It

    The Book Night was intended to teach its readers the sorrow, horrors, and personal experiences of Elie Wiesel and the Holocaust itself. My poem has 1-2 titles and a couple of words and symbols to summarize the important symbols and representations of each chapter. I believe my poem does properly convey the message of the memoir. I can easily identify how smushed each Jew had to be to the millions of others, the rations of bread and the importantoce of soup made, the pipel boy or their Gods execution, and the immense loss of hope, and resurgance of it.…

    I still wonder why Elie has not mentioned his father’s name. I still think he is trying to focus on his own perspective of the camps and the thoughts going through his head. The book has made me realize how hunger is only of the many causes for good people to do bad things. The harsh realities of the Holocaust were difficult to read about, but I am to not be oblivious to the fact that such events can…

    The night started off as just a normal night. Then as you got deeper in the book many nights became terrifying and miserable. In Night, Elie Wiesel uses night as a motif to demonstrate that most nights became fearful and depressing, as shown in the scene where it was their last night at home, the scene where everyone was sleeping uncomfortably and cold, all squished together, and the scene where he started questioning his faith in God for letting people get tortured day and night. “It was to be the last night spent in our house.” (Page 43).The very next day they were going to be deported to what is known as the start of a nightmare, the ghetto.…

    Elie’s story is unique in the sense that despite knowing of the anti-semitic events that were occurring, the people of Sighet worried little. His story provides more depth to the common knowledge of the Holocaust. Without his recorded memories of what happened, the world may never of known about these people that were taken so late into the war, and their perspective. His desire to spread his memories and inform others helps to ensure that great tragedies, such as genocide, will be prevented. Elie’s memory, coupled with his motivational drive to educate the world of the genocide, has led to a more accurate understanding of the Holocaust that will not be forgotten.…

    Scientifically, silence is no more than merely a lack of sound. An environment and all it possesses are delicately harmonic, radiating a simply serene aura. On the other hand, silence is much more complicated as it impacts human expression and stability. When one is forced into silence, there can be evidence of imprisonment, torment, and intellectual change. In Night written by Elie Wiesel, the story of his experience during the Holocaust, silence is given an entirely new definition.…
