Report by: Jacquelyn Globig Language Arts #38 7a-1 A Night Divided By: Jennifer A. Nielsen My book report is for A Night Divided by Jennifer A. Nielsen. I chose this book because it describes the life of a twelve year old girl during the Great Berlin Wall. This book is about a young girl named Greta who is separated from her father and brother because of the Berlin Wall. One day Greta gets a message from her father. She thinks he wants her to start digging a tunnel. Greta finds and old abandoned building where she starts digging. Greta and her brother Fritz work long, tireless, never-ending days digging. One day there was someone of the other side of the tunnel, it was Papa. Once the tunnel was completed they set through it, escaping the treacherous East side, to the colorful bright West. There are many characters in the story, but I thought the main three were Greta, Fritz, and Anna. Greta was the main main character, she wanted to build the tunnel in the first place. Fritz was Greta’s oldest brother who was supposed to be shipped to the East German military but escaped. He helped …show more content…
One was in the beginning of the book, Greta was separated from Papa and Dominic. This conflict was resolved in the end when they were all reunited. The second conflict occurred while in the tunnel escaping. German officers had found the tunnel and were trying to stop them. One of the officers that actually came with them to help, was shot and killed while his wife and child made it through. It was resolved by them making it through the tunnel and escaping to the West. The Climax began when Peter, (Anna’s brother), was killed trying to escape. This carried mostly until Mama had come home and started to help digging. It ended right before Greta and her family went into the tunnel. In the end, Greta, her family, Anna, and her family, and the officers family got through to West
The book “A Night Divided,” is a great book. It is about a girl named Gerta and her family. She has an older brother Fritz, a brother Dominic, her father (papa) and her mother Frau Lowe. The Berlin Wall had just gone up after the Second World War separating East and West Germany, and her and her family live in the West. One night her brother Dominic and her father decide they need to get through the wall for work without guards noticing because the consequences could be deadly. Her brother and Father make it across but they cannot find a way to come back because the wall has been added on and is even more dangerous now. Gerta ends up not being able to talk to her father or brother for at least 4 years. One day Gerta was walking to school with her best friend Anna when she see’s her brother, Dominic on the other side of the wall and waves. She eventually ended up seeing her dad to but then she got caught by an officer by the name of Officer Muller. She ended up getting away from the Officer but she knew he would be watching her every move from now on. But everyday when she goes to school she see’s them on the platform and her dad is doing a dance that he always did for her as a kid when they were little. But, he continues doing the digging scene from the dance trying to give her a signal that he wants her to do something or he is going to do something. But if Gerta tries to cross that wall it could be deadly and we don’t know what would happen.
In 1944, a twelve –year-old Elie Wiesel, in the village of Sighet, spends a lot of time thinking about the Jewish faith. He has an instructor named Moshe the Beadle, he returned from a near death experience, and warns people in the village that Nazis will soon come to their village and mess up the peace in the village. No one listens and soon people under Hitler’s rule force the Jews of the town and into supervised ghettos. Though Elie’s family remains calm, in the spring they are shipped into the final convoy to the Auschwitz and Birkenau death and concentration camps. Eighty some villagers on this convoy have to survive with little food and water. The prisoners were sorted out to see who could work for the Nazi’s and who would be killed.
In the memoir, Night, by Elie Wiesel, gives you an overview of how the Jews were treated in the Holocaust. Many rights of the Jews were violated during the Holocaust. For example, when the Jews were first taken to the concentration camps, they were stripped of their clothes and anything of value. Another example, is that when they were put on the train, they were all fighting each other for the food and stealing from each other. Finally another example, was they were all crammed into small areas with a lot of people and even bodies of dead people and had very small amounts of food and water, pretty much only enough to keep them alive.
The book Night by Elie Wiesel is about a teenage boy who lives through the holocaust. Before reading the book you need to know about the holocaust. The holocaust started in 1933 and ended in 1945. The holocaust is a genocide where 6 million Jews were killed by Nazis lead by Adolf Hitler. Hitler blamed the Jewish people for anything and everything. Hitler had the nazis take Jews to concentration camps. Families were broken apart and never seen their loved one again.
In the book, Night, by Elie Wiesel, Eli is a young Jewish boy living in the small town of Sighet. He faces the struggles of pursuing his dream of studying the Kabbalah, a religious text, against his father's word. Moishe the Beadle, Eliezer's friend who he has a deep religious connection with, warns him about the terrors that are to come to the Jews that do not escape. Eliezer's family as well as the rest of the residents of Sighet do not believe Moishe. Later, the town learns of Adolf Hitler's evil plans, however, much to the citizens fault, they do not head the warnings. The residents of Sighet are eventually forced into cattle cars that were to take them to a location unknown to them. This location was revealed to be Auschwitz-Birkenau,

Night by Elie Wiesel describes his experiences as a Jew in the concentration camps during World War II. Wiesel and other Jews survived, but many others did not. One of the key components to the Jews’ survival was faith or hope.
Night, by Elie Wiesel, is a record of Elie’s time during the Holocaust and the struggles in life as an adolescent in the Auschwitz concentration camp without family, religion, or faith for life, as he is descripted by barely clinging on in a genocide period. Night demonstrates how we must have faith, even the slightest bit, or nothing is possible. Elie Wiesel, was born in Sighet, Transylvania in 1928 and in 1944, he and his family were thrown out of Sighet.
The books Night, by Elie Wiesel, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne are two intriguing books by themselves. However, when you put them together you gain an improved perspective about the Holocaust. You also get see how people were affected by it, how they reacted to it, and what their opinions were about it. These two books contain many similarities and differences, but they go so well together.
By Elie Wiesel In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel portrays a horrific story of the holocaust and of his struggles, not to lose his faith while in the concentration camps. When Elie first started to learn his religion, he was thirteen, he didn’t know his place in the world and was too young to understand life. Throughout the story you see Elie questioning God and questioning his faith, as he endures punishment bye the hands of his oppressors. Elie is forced to grow up fast or die.

Night by Elie Wiesel was one of the best books I have ever read. Night is the story about Elie’s horrible time spent in Auschwitz and Buna the death camps. This story impacted me the most because all of this is real. Elie’s mother and sister were murdered as soon as they arrived. The story goes on telling his unimaginable experiences with his father in 1944 during the Holocaust.
A few minutes after Anthony had set up the ambush, Ultron disabled the camouflage on him and Loki a few feet away from the tower. They had just enabled the distraction, with Lightningbug leading the charge. It would give them hopefully enough time they needed to break into the tower and steal the files.
