The passage on page 22 conveys much of the hardships he faced and show great examples of the deeper meaning in his writing.
Night is a very meaningful novel written by a Holocaust survivor. This novel is about the experiences Elizer Wiesel went through and how he grew his resilience. Family impacts resilience because lots of people rely on their family/ loved ones as a form of strength and support, in this case Elie is a person who relies on his father. Throughout the story, while Elies father was alive, Elies relied on him as a reason to live and a reason to keep fighting during this rough time and without his dad he would have just given up and committed suicide because there was no point in living without his form of support, his dad.

The book Night takes place through the Holocaust and exemplifies 4 main themes. Kindness and dignity in the face of cruelty, the struggle to maintain faith in God, self preservation versus family commitment, and emotional death. The one that had stood out to me the most throughout the book was self preservation versus family commitment. In Night When Ellie arrived at the camp all he wanted to do was to stay with his father and never leave his side. Throughout the book as the plot develops Ellie begins to think more about himself rather than anything else. These feeling could be cause by a series of things which could also be related to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

He wrote an acceptance speech for it about how thankful he was to the Americans for saving him. He wrote a speech called The perils of Indifference. In all of these writing pieces he talks about the holocaust.

Night by Elie Wiesel was one of the best books I have ever read. Night is the story about Elie’s horrible time spent in Auschwitz and Buna the death camps.
