Summary: Night
Review: What is the Holocaust? I never knew about the Holocaust until I read the book Night. I liked the book because of the way Wiesel used imagery in the Holocaust. I found the setting hard to follow because it jumped around. The mood of the book was sad.
Wiesel used imagery throughout the book like on page 22 when he said, "Fire! I can see a fire! I can see a fire!" I could picture a fire in my head at this time in the book. I think that Wiesel used that line to let people know that they weren't going to a good place.
Along with imagery Wiesel also used mood to catch your attention like on page 4 when he said, "Babies were thrown into the air and the machine gunners used them as targets." This quote impacted me because that's cruel and inhumane to do. Also I think that this was a sad part in the book because why would you want to kill all those babies. I think he used this to tell you that the Germans didn't care about the Jews.
Along with imagery and mood Wiesel used change in time like on page 51 when he said, "In 1944 you were in Germany, at Buna weren't you?" He was talking about a girl that he met in Buna when he got beat. I think he said that to let you know that he caught back up with her later on in life. I think this was confusing because it lost me in the book by saying a couple years later he met up with her again.
To conclude, I was impacted by Wiesel's use of imager, mood, and change in time. What amazed me was that they were pretty much dead but they still walked around and that the Germans used babies as targets and didn't car about anyone. "Babies were thrown into the air and the machine gunners used them as targets."

Review:
Has anyone think there needs to be a perfect race so everyone couldn't be different? Will he try to do it? People die every day but not like this, this is the holocaust. I like the book because how there was strong violence in his imagery, how he had good irony in his story and the plot that raps it all up.
He used good imagery, like in the quote on page. 52 "at first my father crouched under the blows, and then he broke in two like a tree struck by lightning and collapsed. I felt like I had to do something about stopping the abuser, when his dad was getting hurt, hearing the blows as the enemy's fist got closer to his face, I felt his pain.
He used good irony like on page. 31 "Father," I said," if that is so, I don't want to wait here. I', going to run to the electric wire." continued on page. 31." Two steps for the pit we were ordered to turn to the left and made him go into the barracks." I felt relieved to know that his dad was going to die because he meant so much to elowes, but he was going to go through the electric wire and go into the fiery pit before they were ordered to change direction. I could see the flames as they got closer, getting hotter and hotter and finally just turns.
His plot makes it easy to know what's happening. Elowes was a boy; during Germany's rise he was token to a concentration. Camp, there he was poisoned but they always had to move the prisoners, then they were set tree he went to a camp site, and these were its left off.
After reading night I was inspired to conclude the conclusion. Weasels use of irony was great, detailed descriptions, and the flow of the story line just rapt it up. It amazes me that humans could treat humans like trash, and keep them prisoner like dogs, it could really get to you, you know like not having any good, working all the time to survive, moving from on e place to another, it would destroy your brain! Night made me imaging what they went through like, being experiment on, not getting what you want, not having choices, and most of all they token away there freedom, night made me realized that you should be thankful for what you have, because people back then were tortured in ways that you could even think about. So just remember be thankful because you could have been one of those prisoners.

ONLINE BOOK REVIEW , i, ;:.:
Elie's book centers around a 1. 5 year old boy who lived in a concentration camp
and survived the Holocaust. Back in the seventh grade, I built a model of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp and studied the Holocaust. I could relate to the thesis in Elie Wiesel's book titled the "Night", which was also a story relating to the Holocaust. His story was interestin-i and broadens my understanding of those ho:rrible events. 1. liked the setting, mood, and imagery .
His first literary element concerning the separation of the Jews frQm the r~st of the German society was effective. I was familiar and interested in the Holocaust and how the Germans tr~ated the Jews frQm my past experiences in the seventh grade, This behavio.r impacted me, and gave me a true feeling on how the Jews must have felt. It amazes me
was no floor. A roof and fo,ur walls," (Wiesel, pg, 35) This quote gave me a pictur~ and a mood on how the Jews lived in the concentration camps. They were treated as animals in a barn, with no, r~spect. freedom. nor comforts of home as they were use to, 1. like this quote because it show~ how mean and har~h the Germans were to the Jew~, and it makes me sad to think that they were so cruel to the Jews.
A aecond literary element concerns the disposal of the Jews in crematories. Again this was very effective f{)r me as it shows how horrible the Germans were to the Jews. To quote Elie, "Poor devils, you're goin~ to the crematory," (Wiesel pg,30) This quote really impacted me as it gave me a visual image of what it was like in a concentration camp such as Auschwitz, which 1 made a model of in the seventh grade. It gave a clear image of what the Jews must have heard and felt as they realized that they were going to the crematory and die, Again it shows us how horrible the Germans wer~ to the Jews and why we should never allow any other country to treat other people like this even today.
A third literary element in the book that stuck me was how ashamed the surviving character felt that he had survived, but was starving. This was expressed in the quote, "FrQm the depths of the mirrw. a corpse gasped back at me," (Wiesel pg, 1.09) 1. liked this quote because it expressed the mood and shame of the character while showing how the Germans. had s1arved the Jews, It gave a visual ima,ge of how the Germans s;tarved the Jews until they either died or became nothing more than skin and bones that looked like a waking skeleton.
In conel.usion, Elie did a very good job of describing how horrible life was for a Jew in Nazi Germany. I liked the book because it was a very detailed account and educational on how Jews wer~ treated in the Holocaus;t, I believe the clincher is that this book shows why we should never allow another ruler or country to treat people this way.

Review: Did any one ever think of the Holocaust? I never did until I read the book Night.
I did not care for the book Night because it was not to my liking at all. I did not understand the metaphors he wanted use to catch on too. Like on page 77 when he said "the soup tasted like corpses." He said that because he saw three people get hung. In my mind I saw three people standing there with a noose around their necks about to get hung. I did not understand that because soup and getting hung are to different things in my mind.
I also did not like the vocabulary because of the words he uses. Like he used on page 16. He used the word "Messiah." I don't know what messiah means. He also used the word "Aushwitz" on page 24. When I reading the book I did not know how to pronounce the words. He also used the word "may his name be blessed and magnified" on page 31. In my mind I could not see any thing that had to do with those words.
When he jumps setting he confused me and made me not like the book even more than before. Like when he jumped to the French lady in Paris on page 51. He knew the French lady in 1944 in a power plant at the camp he was at.
After reading Night it made me not want to study about the Holocaust ever. The resin why I don't want to learn about the Holocaust is because there are too many German words to read, to many metaphors in it, and it jumped setting and confused me to much. What I was focus on was the vocabulary and the metaphors. "That Night the soap tasted like corpses" on Page 77. "Aushwitz" on page 24 and "Messiah" on page 16.

Summary: my online review
Review: Has anyone ever felt upset and confused just by reading a book? I have after reading the book night. I didn't like the book Night because I didn't like the concept of the story, it was a little blunt about something's, the mood was upsetting, and the plot was confusing. I never new what was going to happen.
"Where is god, where is he, where is he? Here he is hanging from the gallows... that night the soup tasted like corpses". In this part of the story a little boy had just been hung. It was hard to get the image of the little boy being hanged so when Elle was eating his soup he couldn't really concentrate on the food it was more of what has just happened. It's like it was almost sickening. It was hard to just go on eating like nothing had happened when a little boy was hung and was forced to struggle for his life instead of dieing a quicker death.
"She continued to scream, breathless, her voice broken by sobs". "Jews, listen to me! I can see a fire! There are huge Flames! It's a furnace!" In this part of the book the Jews has discovered that there was a furnace and that they were all probably going to die. They put to and to together and got that they were more than likely going to burn. To me this is just horrible I don't understand how man can turn on man... or mothers and children. The part that grossed me out the most was when they would take little children and bash there heads in so that they can die. The age of no death was 18 or older and if you were hurt or sick then they would be killed... in the furnace. It's not human like.
"In the name of Himmler...prisoner number...stole during alert...According to the law...paragraph prisoner number... is condemned to death". I actually don't really no what this means. It was to confusing for me. I kind of understand just by reading the nest text but the point was that I didn't understand it which is another reason why I don't like the book night. It was confusing to me. It wasn't very clear on what It was meaning towards.
So basically I didn't really enjoy reading the book night it wasn't something that I would ever want to read again. I liked it a little just for the fact of the history but it was just inhuman to me of what a person could do to another person. It's not a book that I would highly recommend but is some one wanted to read something like this then I would. It was historical but also sad and upsetting.

Summary: Night
Review: How many Jews were killed in the Holocaust how many families were split up? I wandered about this after I read the book Night. I liked the book Night because Wiesel used a lot of imagery. The plot was unexpected, and the plot structure was easy to follow.
To attract the reader, Wiesel used a lat of detail or imagery as in "but we were mo longer afraid of death, at any rate, not of that death every bomb that exploded filled us with joy and gave us new confidence in life." In my mind as I read the Quote, I pictured, bombs exploded, smiles on faxes because they know that they mite have a chance to live since the Germans were being killed by the U.S. and Russians.
Along with imagery, Wiesel used irony to male the plop realistic and yet unexpected. Effective irony was used in Night, in the passage, "the eternal, lord of the universe the All-powerful and terrible was silent what had I do than him for." (Wiesel, 31) at sees ironic- why would you be thankful to someone who is powerful and terrible but ironically does not use the power to save the people that worship him.
The plot structure was really easy to follow, "the plot structure at the beginning got me interested in the meddle it kipped my interested and at the end was sad but good"
After reading Night, I was really impacted by Wiesel's use of irony, detailed descriptions and the flow of the story line. It amazes me that humans could turn on humans in such away that they no longer feel human. Night made it easy to imagine babies being shot, Jews playing the forbidden Beethoven and a corpse walking.

Review: Night
By Elie Wiesel
Has anyone ever thought about what the Jews went through? I never did until I read the book Night by Elie Wiesel. I liked Night, and I didn't like Night. I really liked the way Wiesel used irony, and his plot, I like how he used imagery, I like the way he makes u see it.
Through out the book Wiesel used irony, like on page 57 Wiesel wrote "Every bomb that exploded filled us with joy and gave us a new confidence in life." Every time I read this I can see all the Jews that had went through so much and every one of them had a little grin on there faces, seeing the Nazis where being bombed.
After Wiesel arrived at Auschwitz imagery was used quite often, in one section it said "there was an abominable odor floating in the air." (Wiesel, 25). Just the way that is written makes me want to plug my nose, and I image what was going through all the Jews minds about the smell.
I really like who the story flows, the very last sentence of the book was a breath taker, and it read "the look in his eyes, as they stared into mine, has never left me." (Wiesel, 109). In this sentence he is talking about him self in the mirror, after seeing him self for the first time since leaving the ghetto, and what is says is how he is free from Auschwitz, but what happened there at Auschwitz will always be.
When I got fished reading Night I was amazed by the ways Wiesel used Irony, I also liked the was he planed his plot, and hoe it flowed so smoothly, the way he wrote made you see it not just read it, and that's what makes a good book, I don't understand how the Russians could treat the Jewish people the way they did. How people could be killed with no mercy. Night made it easy to see how 6 million people could be killed in around 10 years. The book made it easy to imagine, your own father dieing right before your eyes.

Review: Night
By Ellie Weisel
Holocaust a myth or did it really happen? It is all about your opinion. Some people are still trying to believe that the holocaust never happened. I believe different while doing some recap on history after reading the book Night (by Ellie Weisel) and having daily discussions about what happened in the holocaust.
Has anyone even ever thought about the holocaust, well in this report I will take you back to the late 1930's to talk about this dramatic book.
Some of the reasons I liked the book Night is because the way the writer wrote the book. He gave imagery and descriptive writing to paint a picture in your head. Another reason I liked the book is because the book makes people feel like they are there. The reason I didn't like the book was because sometimes the book jumped from one time period to another time period.
To attract the reader, weisel used a lot of detailed writing and imagery in Night. "That night the soup tasted like coupes." When I read that I got an image in my head of three men hanging on a noose dead and a little boy hanging their still alive because his neck didn't break when they pulled the lever.
Along with detailed writing and imagery, weisel also used great dialog to keep the reader interested in the book. "Were god, were he, were he, he is hanging there on the gallows" The reason this book has great imagery is because it has great dialog. Great imagery is from great dialog. Dialog is the reason people get images in their head.
If the Jews would have never went to the concentration camps, the setting of this book would have never taken place
"Do you recognize me?"
"I don't know you."
"In 1944 you were in Germany, at Buna, weren't you?" I didn't really like this part in the book because he was telling about him working in the factory and then it just skips to him talking to the woman latter in Paris, I just didn't really like that part.
A person with so much power, abuses that power by not setting the people he torchers free.
A human, the way those people were treated they mise have well not have been humans at all but, animals.
Did you know that 9,000,000 people
according to the documentary film Nuit et Brouillard (Tr.'s Note: "Night and Fog", title used in the English-speaking world) (1955), whose historical advisers were the historian Henri Michel and the woman historian Olga Wormser-Migot.

Summary: Horrifying Account of the Holocaust
Review: Night is the story of Elie Wiesel's experience in the German concentration camp Auschwitz during World War II. He calls it a "nightmare-" this is an understatement. One can wake up from a nightmare. The horror Wiesel lived had no outlet.A Jew from Transylvania, Wiesel grew up with a strong religious background. He found an unlikely teacher in a man named "Moshe the Beadle." Moshe taught his pupil that man could not understand God's answers to man's questions; man could only ask God the right questions. Would Elie's time in Auschwitz destroy his budding faith? The book explores faith in a searing way. A must read for all. Ages 16 and up.

Summary: Detached account of a horrific event
Review: Night, by Eli Wiesel, is the story of a fifteen-year old Jew imprisoned in the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. Wiesel wrote this book about fifteen years after the event in order to distance himself from it somewhat (obviously, the experience left too much of an impact to ever be forgotten.) Through his direct prose and straight language, Wiesel informs the reader of the horrors of the Holocaust. SS guards, barracks, showers, transportation, death marches, rations ... nothing escapes without Wiesel's observations. However, the book lacked description, perhaps because the experience was still too painful for Wiesel to recall-or perhaps because words do not exist to describe the trial. If only one book is read about the people behind the Holocaust, it should be Anne Frank's Diary. However, if one book is read about the Holocaust itself, Eli Wiesel's Night is compelling, shocking, and enlightening.
