“Wolves.” Ulrich, desperate to survive, tries to free himself the tree. He began begging Georg for help moving that tree, “Georg, help me, help me!!!” The wolves, hungry for Georg’s blood, begin running towards them. Both Ulrich and Georg begin screaming together for their men to help them: “Help! Someone help us! Quick! Vicious wolves are about to attack! Help! Please!” However, with an ironic twist of Nature, when Ulrich von Gradwitz meets face to face, when the two enemies are immobilized, they speak in hateful tones of how their men will arrive and the other will be destroyed. Ironically, however, the accident that threatened life has caused men to think about other issues and decide to resolve their differences. In a last ironic …show more content…
Each one of them had one so that the wolves could defend themselves, but nevertheless it is not known if they are going to live, it could be that they die "The idiot chatter" of the man indicates the horrible end that they will suffer. Both Gradwitz and Znaeym are waiting for their men to come and rescue them. There are figures coming toward them. Znaeym cannot see who is coming. He questions Gradwitz about whose men are arriving first. Gradwitz becomes quiet. He realizes the figures who are approaching are wolves. Gradwitz is afraid of the wolves and they are very dangerous. The trapping of the two enemies beneath a mass of tangled, heavy branches on the disputed land advances the plot because the shared life-threatening dilemma with which they are confronted prevents any physical reaction and gives them cause to evaluate the significance of their feud. Georg was the one who had blood dripping in his eyes when a part of the tree scratched his face. Georg in this part of the story demonstrates the fatal error that he and Georg committed. When they believed that any of them can truly own this little piece of land. That is why this caused some errors. Georg says that if they choose to reconcile, there will be no "outside intruders" that will interfere with the end of their dispute. Georg sees strangers as people
"Never shall I forget that night the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed," -Elie Wiesel, Night. This quote is one of the quotes from Elie Wiesel's book Night that refers to the title of the book. The title of the book is called Night for reasons such as the fact that the first night was what changed his life, it symbolizes the darkness that encased all of their souls, and it also symbolizes how dark and evil the world was. The title Night has a stronger meaning than what it seems.
One day, when Elie returned from the warehouse, he was summoned by the block secretary to go to the dentist. Elie therefore went to the infirmary block to learn that the reason for his summon was gold teeth extraction. Elie, however pretends to be sick and asks, ”Couldn’t you wait a few days sir? I don’t feel well, I have a fever…” Elie kept telling the dentist that he was sick for several weeks to postpone having the crown removed. Soon after, it had appeared that the dentist had been dealing in the prisoners’ gold teeth for his own benefit. He had been thrown into prison and was about to be hanged. Eliezer does not pity for him and was pleased with what was happening
Elie Wiesel’s Night is about what the Holocaust did, not just to the Jews, but, by extension, to humanity. The disturbing disregard for human beings, or the human body itself, still to this day, exacerbates fear in the hearts of men and women. The animalistic acts by the Nazis has scarred mankind eternally with abhorrence and discrimination.
the body of Jewish civil and ceremonial law and legend comprising the Mishnah and the Gemara. There are two versions of the Talmud: the Babylonian Talmud (which dates from the 5th century AD but includes earlier material) and the earlier Palestinian or Jerusalem Talmud.
Friendship played a big part in the story. All the incidents that happened between friends throughout the book led to the tragic end . One thing can make you believe you can accomplish anything in the world. George believed in himself to accomplish his goal of having a farm , but at the end
While patrolling this strip of woodland one dark and stormy night, Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym found themselves face to face, only to have a heavy beech tree fall on them, trapping them both, leaving no limbs free to fire a gun for help or to dispatch the other, permanently.
In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, gives a backstory to what happened to his family and all the Jews that were taken to the concentration camp during Hitler’s reign in Germany; Wiesel’s story begins in 1944 when they were deported to the concentration camps to Auschwitz.

They chose to stay together as a family rather than escape the horrors of their unknown future. Eliezer and his sisters chose their family over their own safety. Family plays an important role in this book and this quote reinforces the strong family values that Eliezer has.
Another book I read that taught me about life and facts about how Jews were treated during the holocaust was Night by Eliezer Wiesel. Night was about Eliezer who liked to be called Elsie and his memory as a teenager going through stages of his life where he thought he was going to die and how he overcame those obstacles. Before reading I had to get in a mindset that this book will be different from others and probably more graphic. While reading this book I imagined myself back in the 1940s and imagine what was going on, like being on the train and smelling the different things there. It was also hard imagining myself getting separated from his family and hearing them screaming trying to get to me. Throughout the whole story it was hard to
In Night, one man tells his story of the terrible experiences that he struggled through in a concentration camp during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel gives his readers vivid descriptions of the places he was at and of the people who had crossed his path at one time or another. Elie and many other Jews struggle with their faith in God because they have felt abandoned by Him. In Night, Elie Wiesel uses repetition, symbolism, and irony to convey his loss of faith throughout the book.
Georg turns his bloody face slightly to try to see what Ulrich was doing. Georg could only see a blur of red because of all the blood his his eyes. He did not want to say anything to Ulrich, just incase he distracted him during this life or death situation. Ulrich has the shotgun in his hand, with a swift body motion to turn and face the wolves when still stuck under the beech tree. He aims at the closest wolf first, with a slight pull on the trigger the first bullet fires out of the gun. The shell from the
The wolf stopped just inches away from Todrick. Suddenly sirens erupted around the corner and swarmed around Todrick and the wolf. The wolf quickly turned his attention to the cars that screeched to a stop. Men in padded uniforms stepped out with weapons that ordinary police officers didn’t carry around. Todrick got up quickly, “Sir step away we have animal control here ready to put this beast down.” Todrick quickly stepped in front of the wolf, unaware of how close he was until he felt the hot breath down his back. “Wait, don’t shoot!” Todrick called out holding up both of his hands. “I know this is all out of the ordinary
Problem: It’s nighttime in the woods, which means wolves are out, the party has to find a way to not be eaten by them. (p.92)
He saw his men walking towards him. He reached his hand out, waiting for his men to help him up, but they just stood there staring at him. Then in the clearing, he saw his brother, Alexander, walking toward him with a grin on his face.
Both Georg and Ulrich discerned a white heat flood their bodies at the realization of their fate. They lay there, preparing as the wolves neared them, praying to be a chassis still as night. The animals may as well have searched the grounds for hours, an everlasting suspense. Sniffing so close to their bodies they did not dare breath. It had never occurred to the pair how much of their bodies the Beech tree had been housing. For somehow, in some miracle such an outstanding predator had not gotten close enough to notice their bodies. The search for the cries of desperation had moved on elsewhere. As if one near death
