Summary: Night
Review: Elie Wiesle's novel, Night, reflects the author's true account of his life during the Holocaust. Throughout this novel you will follow his life through the concentration camps and life in the ghetto. All in all you will discover what Jews went through during this time of death and despair. I find information about this time period very interesting but the book, in my opinion, was rather boring. I understand that this is a person's true life account of his life, however, the book could have been a little shorter than what it actually was.

Summary: Simply amazing - it changed my view of life
Review: the book NIGHT by Elie Wiesel portrays a young Jewish boy's journey through the Holocaust. From when he gots taken away, to when the book ends, I couldn't put it down (and i'm not the most avid of readers). The fact that his and his father's life was in Elie's hands kept you in suspense from beginning to end. A simple crumb of bread or a drop of water, can determine life or death. After reading this book, i noticed many things i would have taken for granted otherwise. I started to be grateful that i'm alive, and how fragile life really is. NIGHT taught me one of life's most valuable lessons. NIGHT by Elie Wiesel is truly a masterpiece, as it brings you along on his journey through the Holocaust, with death looking upon him.

Summary: Night
Review: The novel Night written by Elie Weisel is a novel about a young man that goes throught a herrific ordeal with living in a concentration camp and sees things that no one is ever meant to see.
The most important scene that touched me personally would have to be when Elie was told what life is suppose to be at a concentration camp.He is told that there is no sons or fathers here in this camp it is everyone for themselves.he also told him instead of being slowed down by his father he should take his father ration for himself and get rid of his burden.The reason why this is such an important scene in my mind would have to be that Elie was actually thinking to himself that maybe the man was right.The ironic thing about it would have to be the only reason why Elie was still alive was because of his father yet he was thinking for himself and only worrying about himself when his father on the other hand was worrying more about Elie than himself.
Ponder This
-all the similies are clues to his feelings
-why is the book entitled Night and not something like the name of the camp?
-In your opinion what is night?
In my personal opinion of this novel I tend to think that this novel is okay for something that is not of my interest.I think that it is kind of strange that he didin't describe every detail and only described things that happened at night.It would have been better with more details about more than just what happened after the bread call.I like the fact that the protagonist questions "God" and brings a thought that alot of people think is wrong.Over all I think that it is okay.
I would reccomend this novel to anyone who loves to read about realistic experiences about being in war and being in prison.Anyone who loves to read things that when you close your eyes you can picture in your mind.

Summary: Night Review
Review: Babeys hetting burned to death. Thrown into the flames of the fire filled trenches. There is a lot of different things and horrible things that happened to the Jews. The things they had to ho through. Being killed, scared, and having no hope and even worse. Wht and how the germans ded this . This is what the Night explained.
The main chaaracters name ws Eli a 15 year old boy. I'm almost 16 so I could relate what a shock he went through. He explained every detail that what went on and how every day went. All the tradgys he witnessed and experienced made me want to close the book, but I kept reading. This is the book taht mades you think how lucky the Jews are today.
I liked this book in a way and then in another way I didnt. Just the way people were killed for the dumbest reasons. It lefted me up set and not happy . I wasnt lide I ever thought it was like. It was unfair and cuel. Im still left in the "why" stage because why the jews. Hardheaded fules.
In the way I lide it was how they never gave up. There were times that he acted as thaough he was hoing to give up , but something made him keep going. I know if that where me I wouldnt of had the sterength to ho on. I would have fell and just laid and let them kell me . But the courage and strength they had , impressed me much.
The bood suprised, impressed ,and even upset me throughtout the whole tragedy. The things they did. The way they lived throug the whoe thing and the guts they were determined the to stop. Burning children I would never except. That is the worst thing in the world.

Summary: Review On Night
Review: "Where is god?" Nazi concentration camps stirred up much confusion amongst the Jews and the things that they once believed in. As illustrated by this quote from the book. This describes many hardships and the feeling that they felt and shared during their horrific times in the concentration camps. This book takes place during World War II in the Nazi concentration camps. And is about a young boy trying to survive as a jew in a german race that despises him in every way that they can. This boys name is Elie Wiesel, he is also the the author of the book, which I think gives the book and story more detail to the feelings and the thoughts of all the characters of the book. Elie shares personal experiences of pain, anger, and fear from his times in the Nazi Death Camps. Not only does he share his own experiences throughout the book, but also other characters that he meets throughout his fight for life and freedom. I found this very disturbing because I found myself putting myself in the story and imagining what it was like to have to do what he put up with for so long. The fact that anyone could bring theirselves to perform such acts on another human being just because of their race, is a horrific thing to think about. And the fact that all of this actually did happen and that he survived is amazing and inspiring. But when I said disturbing I was also talking about when Elie described the emotions of not only himself but of the others around him. It was hard for me to imagine that someone could forget everything that they once had like their family, their religon, or even their life. I would never want tom imagine myself even thinking like that. But throughout this millions of people died mentally long before their bodies ever did. It just made feel sad that all these people felt this way and nobody did anything about it. The oriny of the book to me would had to have been the firepit, where miilions of jewish people were buened after, and sometimes before they died. Many people took a quick glance at the flames spewing from the top of the large smoke stacks and gave up all hope in living because they believed that their fate was to thrown in the fiery pits of fury and hate that had already consumed so many lives before them. Another part of irony from the firepits, was the smell of burning flesh that the flames of death emitted. Elie himself noted that he was going to throw himself against the fatal electric fence bfore he would be burned alive in the the flames that had concumed so many before him. "Night" from Elie Wiesel is a good book for those intersted in the Nazi concentration camps. Or even if only a good story is the only thing that your looking for, Night is the right book for you. But there is ome very explicit and violent actions in this book, but like i said, Elie wrote everything from what he remembers, and that's how it was. So I recommend that this book be read by many in the near future. Thank You.

Summary: Dark. Cold. Real.
Review: "Night" traces the life of a young boy from a quiet life in a small Rumanian town through the brutality of Nazi forced labor, ghetto life, deportation, separation from family, concentration camp life, symbiotic existence with an aging and weakening father, death marches, and the end to the physical horrors -- to which the word "liberation" can only marginally apply. It is also a journey into Elie Wiesel's heart, into the propensity for good and evil within all of us. The tale is a short but riveting one, indeed shrouded in the darkness of night and the depths of falling snow. You may well complete it in only a day or two of reading. My own trip to Birkenau in 2002 in the midst of winter captured only the cold and desolation, but not the guns, the trains, the groans, nor the Night which Wiesel describes. I do not believe we should confuse voyeurism with a desire for empathy, and a desire for empathy is perhaps one of the more constructive motivations for reading about the Holocaust. This work escorts the reader down a short, intense, and painful corridor into the nadir of Wiesel's own despair, into the void of a faith shattered, and into the evil propensities characteristic of the human kind since times immemorial. Yet it gracefully circumvents any penchant for voyeurism, compromising no facet of the horrific tale but in no way exploiting it for the much baser goal of producing a compelling narrative. This is Elie Wiesel's heart on paper. Probably all of our hearts on paper.

Summary: Heather's review
Review: This was an assignment for english and for it being about histoy it was interesting. I thought the book was a reality check to what we are so lucky to not have to incounter. Elie's hardships were depressing but he had courage to survive. This book is one to tell friends who like history about. Night is a depressing , truthfull and opens my eyes just alittle more to what could happen.

Summary: I have a life
Review: The book "Night" I thought was very good. It gives you a picture of what the jews had to go through during the Holocaust, and how terrible it was for them. The concentration camps, the men seperated from their families, not knowing if they would ever see them again. the book really gives you a good view of what it was like to be there.

Summary: night
Review: this book was a good book for the ones who like to read about wars, and the past. It was about the jews during the second world war. The main character Elie had to keep his self and his father alive. He only had some bread and a little soup to do this. When he was thirsty he had to eat snow off his fellow prisoners backs.

Summary: Corey's Night review by Elie Wiesel
Review: In the book Night I learned during that time that Jews had a bad life. In some of the parts I felt really bad for them. Like when some of the people got split up from their families. I could never do that. I would just choose to be killed. In the book people were treated worse than livestock. You could see teir ribs popping out and you could almost see every bone in their bodies. I could never live like that. One piece of bread for twelve people. And the Germans liked to watch it.
