Analysis Of The Book ' The Night ' By F. Scott Fitzgerald

Joshua Graham once said, “I survive because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.” The honored novel, Night by: Elie Wiesel is a fantastically well composed novel conveying the horrors and, survivors of the famous Holocaust. This novel tells of the experience of Elie and his father’s journey through the period of time known as, the holocaust. All Jews were thrown out of their homes and brought to the concentration camps starting in 1933. Elie went through all three of the “ worst” concentration camps, while struggling with some of rough aspects of camp. Eliezer was torn from his mother and siblings at the beginning, then he had to go the industrious work from the labor camps. In the end Elie’s father did not survive the concentration camps so Eliezer ended up alone. These tragic events tore Elie from his former religious kind self, and made him a rough, almost non existent shell of his former self.

Fitzgerald began working on ‘Tender is the Night’ during the late 1920s but found it difficult as his wife Zelda’s mental illnesses and their money issues had affected him. When Zelda had her first nervous breakdown in 1930s they were living in Europe and she was hospitalized in Switzerland. It became certain that she would never recover fully. Fitzgerald's father died in 1931, which can be seen in the novel portrayed as Dick’s father’s death. Combined with his insistent alcoholism, these misfortunes and setbacks overwhelmed him. Fitzgerald had settled in suburban Baltimore by 1932, and had finally settled on what his novel was going to be about. The books plot was about a gifted young psychiatrist called Dick Diver. He marries one of his patients, Nicole Warren. Dick had virtually limitless potential and when he decides to decision to marry a woman he falls in love with who is mentally ill, he eventually descends into depression and alcoholism as their disaster-prone relationship fails. The book went through many versions and took a lot of time; the original story was to be about matricide, the act of killing ones Mother. “Such a laboured birth of his fourth novel had never been the writer’s original intention” (Blazek, 1). The book can be described as a thinly-veiled somewhat autobiographical novel due how similar the story’s main plot is to Fitzgerald’s own life. It is echoing Fitzgerald's difficulties with his wife Zelda. It also depicts the damaging effects of having

Elie Wiesel was born in 1928. In his book, Night, which was published in 1955, Wiesel depicts his personal journey through the German concentration camps by the use of his character Eliezer (Sparknotes).

Who am I? A question uttered by probably every Jewish prisoner during the Holocaust, expressing complete doubt in their individuality. All people ask themselves this question, whether they have fully grasped their personality or not, and during that difficult time, even the things you thought you knew about yourself are challenged. In the memoir, Night, the author Elie Wiesel, presents the story of his own time in Auschwitz during the German Holocaust. Elie, being Jewish, was deported into concentration camps in Hitler’s final solution. He underwent such things as witnessing death for the first time, extreme exhaustion, inhumane treatment, and seeing people change before his eyes. The ever lurking fear of death spurred abnormal behavior. This experience in potentially the most vile death camp, gives example of how Elie’s life was changed forever and how he as a person was changed. However, Elie was not the only one to change. The memoir’s use of characterization, demonstrates how all prisoners had a transformation in their identity due to the horrific experiences they encountered.

Any visitor to the French Riviera in the mid-1920s, the setting of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night, would describe Dr. Richard Diver as a charming, respected, well-mannered physician. Dick is a noble man who has dedicated his life to the health and protection of his beloved wife without thought to himself. Furthermore, he gives wonderful parties and is a reliable source of help to any friend in need. In fact, "to be included in Dick Diver's world for a while was a remarkable experience" (Fitzgerald, Tender, 27).

“Everybody's youth is a dream, a form of chemical madness” (Fitzgerald). Fitzgerald’s experiences from his lower class childhood shaped his obsession with material items, leading to the idea of bettering one's social status. This desire to climb the social ladder in the 1920s shaped his view of the world and how people are self-destructive. F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Beautiful and Damned, reflects his social adulthood and deteriorating marriage as well as his view of how chasing after the American Dream creates insensitive and reckless adults.

(Approximately 1 year after the eviction of the nobles), swimming in neck-high waters, Bob, gasping for air- was being approached by a floating vessel, with horrifying shrieks of cannibalistic pirates that were ready to slaughter him if they seized him. As the approaching vessel came closer and closer, he was panting harder and harder- he soon heard the shrieks louder and, louder, and with a tone that can only describes being hungry. Bob imagined in his head, the carnivorous pirates swooping him up from the dark blue voidless waters, and devouring him whole. Vulnerable in the voidless waters, Bob felt like he was in solitude,, himself swimming in a body of water bigger than he can imagine- filled with appalling, awful creatures ready to kill him. Bob recalls prior to this incident, something that led him to leave the kingdom something that would change his fate.

“....What?” Kaz looked up at Ocelot from the pile of papers that he was working on his desk.

Dilsey Gibson, a black woman, serves as a mother figure for the children and a caretaker for the rest of the family. Dilsey feels as though she really is a part of the family. However, Mrs. Compson and a grown up Jason disagree and feel that she is easily replaceable. It goes against community and identity in the South to have a black woman step out of place, and Jason feels that she does step out of place quite often. Dilsey is shown as a stabilizer when she defends Miss Quentin. Faulkner writes, “‘[Mrs. Compson] come on and lay down now,’ she said. ‘I find her in ten minutes.’ Mrs. Compson shook her off. ‘Find the note,’ she said. ‘Quentin left a note when he did it’” (283). This is showing that Dilsey can figure Mrs. Compson out and wants to protect her. She believes that Miss Quentin will come back and wants to help spare Mrs. Compson some heartache. Even though Mrs. Compson treats her poorly, she still looks out for her. I believe that at this time in the South, black people knew white people better than white people knew black people. White people could not see past the prejudice. Dilsey also stabilizes the house when she looks after Miss Quentin. For example, Dilsey says to Jason, “Well, you tend to yo business and let her lone… I’ll take keer of her ef you’n Miss Cahline’ll let me” (254). Dilsey steps in and takes charge when it comes to carrying for the children. She knows that she is one of the few people that can calm Miss Quentin down. Dilsey also takes tender

The sound of inconsistent thumps downstairs had woken him. He had threw off his covers and slowly walked towards the bedroom door, the thumps getting louder and louder as he approached the door.

Regretfully, I turn away from the spectacular scene and open the door to the shop, a classic ding resonating throughout the store. As I walk inside, the coldness immediately vanishes, wiping away whatever the cold outside has imprinted on me as the heaters spread over my body. Although, the thing that I miss most about outside is the scent of the dead rain, of the way it leaves a strong and
