Night

The term Holocaust
The term Holocaust is an act of mass destruction and loss of life. In our country there have been many acts of destruction that can be referred to as a Holocaust. Whether it was the mass murder of Jews under the German Nazi or the September 11th terrorist attack. No matter how large or small the act is, Holocaust are a terrible thing.

One of the most memorable attacks to me was on September 11, 2oo1. That day changed the lives of millions. Many lives were taken on that day and many families were torn apart. People lost loved ones and many people sacrificed their lives for our country. From that day on, we will always be affected by what occurred. We will always grieve and remember the brave Americans that sacrificed so much for us.

Since 911, our country has grown and learned from the terrible Holocaust that took place.


Elie Wiesel
Elie Wiesel is the author of the book Night. He is a very inspiring author. He experienced and went through tragic containment in the Nazis camps. He was able to tell the story and let us feel what horrible act took place. He never let the harsh punishment slow him down.

Symbolism
Darkness and night symbolize a world without God’s presence. In Night, Wiesel explains this allusion. Night always occurs when suffering is worst, and its presence reflects Eliezer’s belief that he lives in a world without God. The first time Eliezer mentions that “night fell” is when his father is interrupted while telling stories and informed about the deportation of Jews. Also, it is “darkness” when the prisoners begin their horrible run from Buna.

Theme

A theme is an important lesson you learned. There are several themes you could give Night. The Importance of Remembering is one main theme from the book. One of Wiesel's main objectives in writing Night is to remind his audience that the Holocaust occurred, in hopes that it will never repeat itself. Wiesel has maintained his eye against hatred and inhumanity throughout the novel
