I Am Malala And Night Comparison

“We were scared, but our fear was not as strong as our courage.” In the years of 1945 and 1997, two people of great significance were put in situations of cruelty and immense death. Elie Wiesel from Night describes his experiences of being sent to a Nazi Germany Camp at the age of fifteen during the Holocaust. Malala Yousafzai from I Am Malala expressed fighting against the Taliban for women's rights and education. Malala and Ellie are different as Malala is a victim of terrorism, whereas Elie is a victim of the Holocaust. Although they are very similar in the ways of both of them growing quickly because of conflict and they risked their lives for specific reasons. While both endured dreadful situations, Elie and Malala were able to survive and tell their story of their individual situations.

Such literary devices are similar to "Night", another memoir by Elie Wiesel. Both novels are set in the years of World War Two in middle-eastern countries during the Holocaust. The authors of the two novels, Anne Frank and Elie Wiesel, were close in age but their experiences with the Holocaust differ greatly. Anne's and Elie's use of descriptive language and other such devices heighten the effect that their publications have on its readers. Anne is a young girl living in Amsterdam who is forced to hide with her family and another family from the Nazi regime.

The first similarity is the rules and regulations that these people are living with. In Fahrenheit 451 there were rules that any person who had any type of book in their possession were to be imprisoned or even killed in some circumstances. These rules were to protect the government from being overthrown by the fantasies that these books create and give some type of a better life for the people. Night was a story about a Holocaust survivor. Elie and his father had been brighten to a concentration camp where they had lived under a harsh environment. The Nazi government had created strict rules that the ss officers had to enforce. Some of these rules were to treat the

In the novel Night, written by Elie Wiesel, the Jewish people are treated unfair and harsh. For instance “we no longer had the rights to frequent restaurants or cafes .” (Wiesel) this quote means that the Jewish people that lived there were not able to go out to eat or visit a cafe if they wanted to without getting into trouble. Jewish people were also told they had to wear a yellow star even if they did not want to they had to it was the law. Page 11 “...every Jew had to wear the yellow star .” (Wiesel). Later on in time Jewish people were taken to concentrations camps outside of Sighet were they were originally residing. When they arrived at the camp , family’s were separated.

The novel Night written by Elie Wiesel recounts his horrible experience as a young Jewish boy during the time of the World War 2, his story shows the lengths of man’s capability to act inhumane to one another. Millions of Jews -countless women, men and children- were murdered during the Holocaust. Unfortunately for the Jews in Sighet their projected fate became reality, although there were warnings of the danger coming. These signs were constantly ignored and overlooked. Characters such as Moishe the Beadle and Mrs. Schächter revealed people’s ability to ignore the reality that is approaching and how people often disregard information that is too difficult for them to accept. The Jews in Sighet preferred to remain oblivious in order to protect

In the novel “Night”, by Elie Wiesel, the Holocaust survivor suggests that when humans are faced with protecting their own mortality, they abandon their morals and values. This can be seen in both the Jewish and German people. The German’s are inhumanely cruel to protect their own jobs and safely by obeying government commands. The Jewish captives lost their morals as they fight to survive the concentration camps. Elie Wiesel encountered many obstacles that made many of his ideals changed drastically for Wiesel which was his loss in humanity throughout the book he explains the many ways he does not see people as people anymore. He also explains how all of his natural human rights were no more during the time in the Holocaust. He had to find a sense of self because he could have easily fallen apart. He could not have done anything different, he knew it was going to end poorly. Silence is a very important and prominent theme in this book as silence represents many key symbols such as. God’s silence: Eliezar questions God’s faith many times throughout this book and wonders how he could just sit there and be silent while people are mass murdering people.

While reading the books, Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza, and Night by Elie Wiesel, the similarity in person was very prominent. Noticing how closely related these two authors were in their time of struggle and how they conquered their struggles to become survivors. Family, personality, religion, and lifestyle all played separate parts in the story which were told. Though these authors share many similarities, there are still a few ways they differ in the events they were exposed to.

“You must strip of all your clothes,” the officer said. This quote is one example of the treatment that all the Jews received, and it consisted of no rights whatsoever. Night is a memoir, based on the events of the Holocaust that transgressed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a list of rights that should be guaranteed to all mankind, no matter the circumstances. The book Night is mainly about Jews who have to face the challenges of living in ghettos and concentration camps, while dealing with prejudiced treatment. A boy named Eliezer Wiesel lives in a Jewish community, and experiences the hardships of the Holocaust and its effects on his loved ones, throughout the memoir; he walks the reader through his perception of the

The people in Night are forced to move out of their homes, because Hitler has opened concentration camps. The Jews are treated very wrong. The roles in the novel Elie, Wiesel “Night.” are portrayed by gender, and they do not have equal rights, because they follow the men who started the concentration camps. “All the men have their heads shaved and a number tattooed on their arms.” (Wiesel).

The book Night by Elie Wiesel has become popular worldwide teaching people all ages about the Holocaust. Night tells about young Elie Wiesel’s life story as he lives as a Jew during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel tells how things changed for him and Jewish families all across Europe as they were sent to concentration camps where they were brutally treated. Elie Wiesel’s family was sent to Auschwitz concentration in 1944. In the concentration camps families would be split up including Elie Wiesel’s, he was split apart from his mother and sister and was forced to live with only his dad. At the concentration camps Jews were treated like animals many Jews died at these camps, others became insane. The Nazis treated the Jews like animals by taking away their humanity and causing them additional pain.

To begin with, both novels show very strong themes of prejudice throughout. Night begins with the Elie Wiesel’s account of what it was like to live through Hitler’s final solution to rid Europe of the Jewish population. He remembers what it was like to be a young man living in Sighet, Transylvania when the Nazis moved in, and forced him out of his home to concentration camps where many people were killed in the crematoria upon arrival. Throughout Wiesel’s time in Auschwitz and Buchenwald, he had been separated from his mother and sisters, watched his friends die, and lived everyday in fear of death. The prisoners of these concentrations camps were stripped of their identity by only being referred to as their tattooed number, they were

The Holocaust was a horrific time period when over six million Jewish people were systematically exterminated by the Nazi government. Throughout this period, the Jews were treated particularly inhumane because the Nazi viewed their ethnicities as a disease to humanity. Dehumanization is a featured theme in Elie Wiesel’s novel about the Holocaust since he demonstrated numerous examples of the severe conditions endured by the Jewish people. The nonfiction story Night by Elie Wiesel focuses on inhumanity and reveals human beings are capable of committing great atrocities and behaving cruelly, when such actions are condoned by society, peer pressure, and ethical beliefs. Elie Wiesel uses literary devices to produce a consistent theme of inhumanity.

Five features a has are  that it is not linear it does not follow a specific timeline it can jump from one time period to another, it is emotionally charged because it is a testimony of what happened to the individual, it is very subjective because it is told through the perspective of the writer, a memoir is politically charged, a memoir is also able to raise consciousness of society, culture, and the government. I think I Am Malala fits into this genre because in I Am Malala  Malala starts off talking about the day she was born then it progress to when she is going to school then jumps back to before she was born talking about the struggles that her father went through to get an education and the struggle to start his own school. I Am
