“Quote goes here” Night is a book about Elie Wiesel and his experience in the Holocaust. It starts from right before it happened and takes you through his life, up until he was liberated by Americans. He was taken through many traumatic events, and watched his fellow Jews succumb to the terrors and reduce themselves to a more primitive state. There are many times where Elie experienced traumatic events, including the entirety of the holocaust. However, while he should have become, and in fact came dangerously close to becoming, a “brute”, he managed to escape this tragic fate. This resulted in his own, sane, survival.

The purpose of this quote is to foreshadow what the crime does to the community and how the death of four lives not only ruins the lives of the murderers but also the townspeople.

The effectiveness of this quote comes from how Capote describes the townspeople and what affect it has on their everyday lifestyles.

After the first night in camp Ellie knew his life was not going to be the same or get better anytime soon. When Ellie states the fact that the first night was the longest makes you think if all the other nights were shorter and just felt very short
