Differences In Night By Elie Wiesel

Elie observes and experiences many instances of indifference throughout his memoir. In the first chapter, the people of Sighet oppose Moshe the Beadle’s stories of his escape from the Nazis. They say in response to Moshe, “He's just trying to make us pity him. What an imagination he has! Poor fellow. He's gone mad” (4-5). This lack of sympathy causes Moshe to lose faith in his town and in himself. On the ride to Auschwitz, a soldier dehumanizes the Jews. He explains, “If anyone is missing, you’ll all be shot, like dogs” (22). The soldier shows no respect for the people,

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.

Elie Wiesel's memoir, Night, recounts the horrors he saw firsthand during his internment in Auschwitz. In his hindsight, Wiesel reflects on not only his own indifference, but the indifference of others who shared his fate. Along his journey, he comes across three different kinds of indifference: indifference towards oneself, indifference towards others, and indifference towards the world.

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

Seven billion people, seven billion different faces, seven billion unique characters, and most importantly, seven billion significant identities. Trauma, is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience, everyone experience trauma in their life, from breaking their bones to surviving a Nazi concentration camp. Identities are changed during these experiences, negative or positive, one’s identity can be described as your personality and who you are. Everyone’s identity changed during their life from different events that occur in their life. Elie Wiesel’s memoir ‘Night’ and his famous Nobel Prize acceptance speech are two of the most moving and touching examples of how horrible traumatic experiences can be. Traumatic experience is far worse than you think it is, and the changes of one’s identity is bigger than anyone could imagine. Traumatic experiences affect one’s

During the holocaust, Elie Wiesel changes from a spiritual sensitive little boy to a spiritually dead, unemotional man. “ Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever.” the book Night revels Elie experiences during the holocaust.

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.

Change is an immense portion of human development that can alter a person’s character traits based off of a single experience. A time known to change man is the era of the holocaust. In the book “Night” by Elie Wiesel, the main character, Elie, changes dramatically through his unbearable events that he had experienced in Auschwitz, a death camp, known for its extreme and unusual tactics. Eli Wiesel’s book proved that he has seen the absolute worse so how has these experiences translate change throughout Eli’s life for the better, or for the worse?

Change is to make or become different. After reading the book Night it can be concluded that many changes happened to the characters. Elie and his father are an example of change because throughout the book they changed drastically this included physical and mental changes. In the book Night Elie was a different person through out the book he changed, some of the changes that could be seen were mental changes including how he thinks, emotional change like how he feels about everything, and changes of his soul that include his beliefs. One source of Elie’s change was mental, he started to believe that his father was not the man he originally thought he was.

Indifference. Noun meaning lack of interest, concern, or sympathy. Not important. Lacking feeling. That is indifference. To use that word to describe the theme of Night, is to describe life. Many lives actually. I do believe many people had a lack of interest in the holocaust, just because “at least it’s them and not us.” Some express sympathy to the lives lost, but all that matters is that we stopped it when we did right? Wrong. To this day, some think the holocaust was played out to be worse than it actually was, for the sake of drama and publicity.

In the memoir Night, the author, Elie Wiesel, uses vividly descriptive diction to establish the theme that one should never let go of their goals. After Elie and his family were forced to leave their home, they were loaded into a box car. Elie recalls that, “After two days of traveling [on the train], [ they] began to be tortured by thirst.” (Wiesel 21). Elie Wiesel’s choice of the word torture, instantly brings to mind a picture of people going through unbearable suffering. His vivid descriptions easily bring to mind instant images of what the text is depicting. Through Elie’s ride in the box car, he never let go of his goal of survival. His vivid description of the box car show you what Elie had to withstand while never letting go of his

Stress and change have a strong relation because with one, comes the other. Elie Wiesel; the author of Night and Jonathan Marc Feldman; the screenwriter of Swing Kids, let readers witness characters reactions to the stress’ they encounter as the Nazi’s take over in World War II. The relationship between stress and change relates to these characters because as they experience stress throughout these stories, they undergo spiritual, emotional and interpersonal changes.

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.

Faith, misery and fear relate to the book Night by the fear that Elie feels about losing his dad at the arrival of the concentration camp. How Elie explains "we were alone"( page 29 Night). His father was the only one that remained close to him. After the separation of his family and during the time at the camp Elie began to lose faith towards God and on living. The main concern keeping Elie alive was his father, because he knew if he was to pass away his father will soon too as he was growing older.

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.
