Differences In Night By Elie Wiesel

In life, people go through different changes when put through difficult experiences. In the book Night, Elie Wiesel is a young Jewish boy whose family is sent to a concentration camp by Nazis. The story focuses on his experiences and trials through the camp. Elie physically becomes more dehumanized and skeletal, mentally changes his perspective on religion, and socially becomes more selfish and detached, causing him to lose many parts of his character and adding to the overall theme of loss in Night.

In Elie Wiesel’s memoir, “Night”, readers see a dramatic change from the young, sensitive and spiritual individual to a, boy with the mindset of an adult that is spiritually dead and is unemotional. Elie shows this in his memoir by rewriting what he saw, thought, or what he heard while in concentration camps, this occurs, in the three sections of the memoir.

Each day,6,000 innocent lives were taken at Auschwitz-Birkenau,one of the many concentration camps in Europe. During the “Final solution” two out of every three European Jews were killed. This genocide lasted from 30 January,1933 to 8 May,1945. Elie Wiesel,a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust,shares his personal traumatic,faith breaking and experiences with inhuman treatment in his memoir, Night.

Child abuse is very similar to the book Night by Elie Wiesel. There is one main topic that sticks out when reading child abuse articles and Night. Both topics have delt with a certain pain. Elie Wiezel and child abuse victims have suffered, starved, and are mainly frightened of their surroundings. Not only did they deal with emotional abuse, but also physical abuse. The Jewish children in Night have been abused by the leaders of the camp and were forced to do work or else get punished. When it comes to Child abuse, the children also get punished, whipped, and punched like Elie and his father did. Both topics dealt with verbal abuse too. Many Jews in Night have been threatened and constantly picked on by the concentration camp leaders for being

Eleven million humans lost their lives during the holocaust, but there were some individuals that were lucky enough to survive through the living Hell of the reign of Hitler. It was a gruesome transition for many, and it really changed the mindset of any remaining survivors. In the book, “Night”, Elie Wiesel changed into a completely different person throughout the book.

Indifferent means that someone knows what is going on but decides to do nothing about it. I could see his face full of emotion which shows how he felt about talking his experience as a kid. When he talked about the American soldiers rescuing him I could tell he was really thankful. Elie could also get straight to the point of indifference in the speech. He only had a small introduction and started telling the crowd about how America was being indifferent at the starting of the

Over the course of the book, elie changes from being a caring kid to being very vigilant teenager. This is important to the book as a whole because it connects to how somebody can change due to on event. The change is apparent when elies dad is slowly dying, When he arrives at the concentration camps, and he realizes that his father will no longer be with him In the book it states “ ‘ I am too old, my son’ he answered ‘ too old to start a new life.

Night by Elie Wiesel tells how a young teenage boy named Eliezer survived the Holocaust. Wiesel begins the story by telling how the lives first changed for Eliezer that started everything. He tells and describes the awful things he sees in the concentration camps. His experiences cause him to change in many ways. With his religion, for an example and people around him, like his father.

"If you do not change direction you may end where you were heading". That quote was from Lao Tuz who was a religious philosopher and poet form China in 604 BC. During the book Night you could see it in not just Elie Wiesel, but you could see it in everyone. You could see change in Elie not just in his physical appearance, not emotionally, and mentally. People can or cannot say they've seen worse except for the people who survived war and the camps and which has led them to be mentally broken down. During the Holocaust Elie has changed in his faith, his struggle in the camp, and how his personality changed.

Sixty percent of the jewish population in the entire north western hemisphere were killed during the final solution. Night is the story of a fifteen year old, jewish boy who is taken from his home and sent to the infamous nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz. He loses everything including most of his family and all that he has left is his father. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, the main character and author, Elie, is affected in many ways by the events of the book such as a change in his feelings towards his father, his loss of faith, as well as being mentally scarred with images and feelings he will never forget.

The stench of burning flesh lingers over the piles of skeleton like people who could no longer fight the battle. Along with the millions of bodies that got left behind at Auschwitz so did much of Elie’s existence before he was brought to the camp. In the memoir Night, by Elie Wiesel, Elie faces many challenges and loses much of himself due to his horrific journey in the camp. Elie’s losses contributed dramatically into the person he became after the liberation, he no longer valued religion or a higher power, he lost his family, and his innocence . Elie entered the concentration camp as a faith driven young boy but ultimately transforms into a scarred corpse like version of his old self.

In the book Night, Eliezer’s father, one of the main characters, shows various changes throughout the story. In the beginning of the book, the book states, “Cultured man, .... He rarely displayed his feelings, .... The Jewish community of Sighet held him in highest esteem; his advice on public and even private matters was frequently sought.” (pg. 4).

11 million lives were stolen. That many hearts were broken. Hundreds of books, magazines, and newspapers about the holocaust were sold. But Night by Elie Wiesel touched the hearts of millions. Each and every word written in his novel not only teaches people about the horrible experiences of those in the holocaust, but the book also explains how people act the way that they do. In his memoir, Wiesel exposes how people are either selfish or selfless, emotionally fragile and blame their faith in times of hardship.

I believe that indifference is the cause of the many of the world’s problems. As Elie Wiesel once said,” The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference”. I think that means that, after the events of the infamous Holocaust he didn’t hate the Nazis, he just felt indifferent about their actions. Elie went down a very dark path though. His book Night is a depressing story full of much abhorrence, a very sad note. He thought there was no hope for the future he gave up on god and more importantly, himself.

An important nonfiction book that I think everyone should read is Night by Elie Wiesel. This book was published in 1960 by Hill and Wang. It has 116 pages and it is told by a man who survived the Holocaust. This was a very important moment in history that everyone needs knowledge on.
