Brief Summary Of Myriel By Elie Wiesel

“For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank Him for? (Pg. 61-63) I think this is the most significant passage in “Night” because Eliezer’s entire life he always praised God and loved him for protecting him but the when he was sent to a Concentration Camp all of his love turned into hate because Eliezer felt like God stopped caring about him; The Concentration Camp took away Eliezer’s means of living.

One day, when Elie returned from the warehouse, he was summoned by the block secretary to go to the dentist. Elie therefore went to the infirmary block to learn that the reason for his summon was gold teeth extraction. Elie, however pretends to be sick and asks, ”Couldn’t you wait a few days sir? I don’t feel well, I have a fever…” Elie kept telling the dentist that he was sick for several weeks to postpone having the crown removed. Soon after, it had appeared that the dentist had been dealing in the prisoners’ gold teeth for his own benefit. He had been thrown into prison and was about to be hanged. Eliezer does not pity for him and was pleased with what was happening

Elie Wiesel’s Night is an autobiography on his survival as a teenager in the Nazi torture camps. Night starts when Elie is twelve years old and living in a small town called Sighet in Transylvania (now located in modern-day Romania) with his family. Which consisted of his parents and his three sisters, which is all that mattered to him. One day, a Jewish Sighet named Moshe the Beadle, comes into town to warn everyone of the impending danger of the German army and of their ruler. Unfortunately warnings about the Germans intentions towards them was not taken seriously, and Elie’s family, and the rest of the town, missed their chance to flee the country.

In the preface to the book, Elie Wiesel says, “I do not know, or no longer know, what I wanted to achieve with my words.” Based on the reading experience, what does Wiesel achieve in this book? Use specific evidence from the text to support the answer.

Night, written by Elie Wiesel, tells the terrifying experience in the concentration camps that many Jews were imprisoned in during World War II. Throughout most of the novel, Elie Wiesel tells about how many prisoners, including himself, lost faith in God. During the Holocaust many groups of people, especially Jews, were taken to concentrations camps and treated in the most inhumane way. Many were taken away from their homes, and lost everything that was once their own. In order to survive, many Jews encountered such brutal difficulties. They were worked to death, starved to death, killed, and all because they were Jews. Upon being taken away, many were unaware with what was happening outside their own homes.

Elie Wiesel’s nonfiction novel Night shares the author’s experience in Auschwitz which demonstrates the importance of memoirs. Throughout the novel, Elie’s experiences in the camp are narrated allowing readers to see into the young boy’s life. Seeing into the life of Elie enables readers to empathize for the young boy when he or his father is mistreated. By writing a nonfiction, readers are more likely to empathize with the main character since that individual exists. When readers are able to empathize with certain characters, the novel becomes more significant. Relating to Elie helps readers recognize the Holocaust in a different way. Instead of just learning about the event, readers are able to empathize with those who have suffered. Additionally,

The holocaust is a period of time were in a time of war a human’s natural right was disregarded and cast away in a trail of bloodshed that over 6 million people suffered just because they were of Jewish descent and many surviving Jewish people of the holocaust had to deal with the guilt of living and witnessing their family dying. This book (Night by Elie Wiesel, Published in 1960) shows the reader the holocaust through the eyes of the author after he was torn away from his village and relocated to a Ghetto in Sighet. After spending some time in the Ghetto he and his family are forced on to a train with hundred’s of other fellow Jewish people who too are also confused about where the Germans were going to send them to. After spending a few

Elie Wiesel was a young boy who was sent to a concentration camp at a sad young age. He was raised to be a very faithful boy but because of everything he was forced to do and everything tragic and sad he saw he was mentally traumatized. It made him wonder why if god was so great why wouldn't he come save him? His father probably didn't even have time to explain to him why he was going threw this and why he should not lose hope. As Elie approached the flames of discrimination and hatred he began to second guess his entire faith all together. When his father began to pray to god he said why? Why is my father calling out to him when he did nothing to stop me from coming here? And that's understandable. He was to young to understand trials and

“Splendid news from the Russian Front. There could no longer be any doubt: Germany would be defeated. It was only a matter of time, months or weeks, perhaps. The trees were in bloom. It was a year like so many others, with its spring, its engagements, its weddings, and its births” (8).

Determination is an important foundation in human lives. Each time an individual or society faces great adversity, one tends to develop an aspect of their identity that showcases a strong link to the significance of determination in people’s lives. Determination is a trait that each individual possesses. However, the degree of this characteristic varies for each individual and depends on the person’s capabilities and willingness to attain a goal. In the Night, author Elie Wiesel provide the readers with an insight of how determination became the guidance for the Jewish people who suffered dreadful torture and endured a horrid lifestyle under the Nazi’s fascist and anti-semitic regime. Furthermore, due to

In the small town of Sighet, Transylvania, Elie Wiesel, a young Jewish boy, hovered over the words of the Talmud, a sacred text of the Jews. His eyes traveled across the Mishnaic Hebrew letters, studying the messages and themes of the book. Elie, like many other Jewish children in his community, invested every drop of effort and moment of his time into studying the holy scriptures, uncovering its sacred truths and understanding the boundless character of his God. Beyond his religious study, Elie enjoyed a satisfactory personal life. Living with a loving family who provide for his every need, he has nothing to worry about. On top of that, he enjoyed spending time with several friends and took advantage of his freedom to invest his life into Judaism. Little did he know that soon, he would not have the freedom to read the Talmud, Kabbalah, or worship his God. Through

Some textual evidence shows that when Jean Valjean takes the silver and runs away from the Bishop, it shows that he was a thief that could be brought back from the evil. The author explains that in paragraph 55 where the gendarmes explain that he looked that he was running and that he had silver in his hand. Then in paragraph 70 and 71 the Bishop quietly tells Jean Valjean to use the money from the silver to become a honest man.

The story begins with the author showing us how Jacques Sauniere was killed and by whom. His killer is introduced as Silas, a big albino guy who is part of Opus Dei with a troubling past.

The protagonist’s transformation begins when the bishop recognizes Jean Valjean’s human soul that is capable of goodness. When he is put out into the streets, Valjean goes from place to place being rejected for being a convict until he meets the bishop who sees him as a common person, “That men saw his mask, but the bishop saw his face”(75). Even though people might be good, they don’t always see someone’s true soul. The bishop’s simple act of kindness and deeper understanding

The boy took him by the collar of his blouse and shook him, And at the same time he made an effort to move the big, iron-soled shoe which was placed his treasure” (35). In that scene Jean Valjean stole Petit Gervais forty-sous piece, and Valjean would not return it, to the owner Gervais. However, since Valjean was a prisoner for 19 years, in his mind he was still a bad guy because, he was considered a dangerous man, not only in his mind but he had a piece of paper that stated he was a dangerous man, After stealing from the Bishop and getting kicked out of many inns he must have convinced himself because, the brain is easy to trick so that is what happened to him. But, soon after he realized that stealing was bad, he thought about it as a little
