Lyrics To Elie Wiesel's 'Night'

In the memoir, Night by Elie Wiesel begins in his hometown, Transylvania. He was living life as a normal boy. Slowly everything began to change when his teacher, Moshe the Beadle was deported. Moshe returns and tells the towns people what had happened to him, the German police had took over the train they were in and lead them into the woods to murder them, but no one believed him. Soon after the Jews from Elie’s town were forced to move out of their homes and into ghettos. They were then forced onto cattle cars and shipped to concentration camps.

Night is a novel written from the perspective of a Jewish teenager, about his experiences

what I remember most. The feeling of sadness rested in the pit of my stomach for days

In the memoir Night, by Elie Wiesel, the word night is repeatedly used as a metaphor symbolizing the conditions and emotions that the Jews struggle with during the Holocaust. Elie’s personal struggle with his experience evoke connotations of darkness that describe the inhumane treatment that Elie and the Jews are forced to endure throughout the memoir. In the beginning, Elie's town is invaded by German soldiers and soon, the Germans force all of the town's Jews to evacuate. After being thrown onto a freight train to Auschwitz, Elie experiences a whole new world filled with fear and hatred. Elie uses “night” to describe the struggles and hardships that he encounters throughout his experience. The literal meaning of the word night is simply the period of darkness everyday between sunset and sunrise. However, the metaphorical meaning of night, in this memoir, is far more sinister. As depicted in Night, the title metaphorically refers to the evil, hopelessness, and emotional coldness that the Jews are constantly forced to face throughout the Holocaust.

Robert Shapiro, an American civil litigator once said, “To me, the Holocaust stands alone as the most horrible human event in modern civilization,” The Holocaust, a genocide led by Adolf Hitler, killed six million jews, and dramatically affected the whole world. The memoir “Night,” written by Elie Wiesel describes the brutality Wiesel experienced during the Holocaust, and how life changing it was. Although some may believe the memoir written by Elie Wiesel was titled “Night” because he was forced to leave his home during the night, Wiesel illustrates Jews losing hope, faith, and happiness through the symbol of Night, to prove that the memoir was titled “Night” to symbolize the darkness the holocaust created.

Furthermore, the title of a book can reference what happens during the book. Elie Wiesel chose the title Night to show how this was a dark time in his life. On page 37, Elie says, “The student of Talmud. . . had been consumed by flames. All that was left was a shape that resembled me.” (Wiesel) The title Night is referring to the dark time in Elie’s life. If this book was titled Day or Dawn, some of the things that occur in this book wouldn’t be seen be seen by the reader as violent. This quote is when Elie is in Auschwitz during the first night. When he arrived, a part of himself was gone. This was when he started losing his faith. The title of a book can change how things are viewed by the reader. An author may choose the book because of something the characters do or something that happens to the characters. In Elie’s case, it was because of what happened to him in the concentration camps.

“What are you doing here,” I asked softly. As she proceeded to answer, Brandy cuts around the corner and said,

I visit my market morning, noon, eve, To look but not touch the vendor’s rich wares; The fabrics, each roll and every sleeve, And when I am done, leave secret despairs. Then home I return to wonder and want My old, threadbare, frayed rags be that fine silk;

I love you too – but still, you shouldn’t do that. You should live for each minute – not for the next minute.

When we were kids the darkness and the night was a time for our greatest fears to come alive and haunt us. In the novel Night, by Elie Wiesel, the title is significant because it represents the fears the Jewish people had all throughout the holocaust and meant much more as it was referenced throughout the book.

From the day you're born you heard the word You left the nest and mother bird You knew about death and the pain, the horror, the scars, and losing sane But still you went on to fight the bane Please be safe Banish the wraith Off you went to the unknown land Unliking our touch and eternal hands With your gun you ran Marching through the foreign sand Living off a tiny strand Please be safe Banish the wraith Until you’re done and come back home

“Well, my name’s Lillian Rose Mccall, but you can call me Lilli, Lil, An, Rose, Ro, or even Rosa. I mean, my best friend does, but, you know, she’s a little weird. Even if she’s the most popular girl in school, she just drives my friends and me nuts, but I love her because, you know, she’s my bestfriend. I’m pretty sure Stiles would hate me if I was mean to her, I mean, he’s been in love with her since third grade-” My savior cut me off with a chuckle. “You must be really nervous, if what you said earlier is true.” Hoping I didn’t offend him, I scrambled for a reply, “Oh, i-it’s not you, I just haven’t been the most comfortable around men since my fath-” I cut myself off before I start ranting.
