Summary: Night: The review
Review: Is this book worth the money and time? This is probably the question you're asking yourself right now. I will give you my insight on the book to assist your decision. This is a descriptive book to remind the world of the true horrors of the holocaust.
Plot is easily the strongest and most prominent feature in this small autobiography. For example, choosing the time period of the holocaust would give an interesting plot with a strong backbone to any story. This book tells the tale of a 15 year old boy, surviving this madness and despair, through his eyes. Anyone can take this story in as such raw and descriptive truth. Strangely, this book is not so in depth that it carries on. In fact, it is only 110 pages. In these 110 pages is an amazing but believable plot to a realistic, true story. It becomes very interesting by the 50th page or so and by that time it acquires its dark and grim mood. These traits make the plot especially strong in this story and therefore provide a great setup for the other elements of the book.
Characters are strange in this story, the way he displays them, but their integration with the plot is very well done. For example, characters in this book are plentiful. Unfortunately, only two of them remain constant throughout the book, Eliezer and his father. Other characters come and go but Eliezer and his father are the only ones who are well-developed and drawn out. This depicts a sense of reality to the story. You can almost feel Elie remembering the glimpses of people in his memory and creating them as characters as he writes. Although, these characters encounter many challenges throughout the book, it is still done very well because of the challenge's patterns and harsh examples. Descriptive challenges the bend and break the faith of young Eliezer, also surrounds the plot and supports its mood. From about page 30 to the end, there are conflicts they face like hunger, punishment, thirst, selections, and near death on many occasions. The two main characters that are well-developed mingle and intertwine well with the plot's hardships.
As a summary and to conclude, the book opened up a descriptive and realistic view to these dangerous times. I learned a lot from this book and because it was written so well I think it deserves more attention and reward. The beginning was a bit boring but it set the tone, pace, and plot. I would certainly recommend this book to any young adult or older.

Summary: NIGHT
Review: Have you ever been in a concentration camp? If you haven't been, reading this book is the closest you will come. The book Night , written by Ellie Wiesel is both informative and suspenseful. In this book I found the characters to be very strong and resilient people. They faced many problems with strength and courage.

Some very suspenseful and unbelievable scenes are described in gruesome detail, which helped me understand the struggles of the characters much better. Elizer and his father, who are the main characters, tell of their story in various concentration camps. Although they were separated from their families and virtually alone, far worse things were to be endured. "I had felt death" (Wiesel, 82). This quote from Elizer shows that each and everyday the occupants in the concentration camp battled to stay alive. At this point in the story, I realized the fear and brutality that the Jewish people encountered. Some could take the hardships and some could not. Although, Elizers father loved Elizer dearly, there were several times when he wanted to rid himself of all of the pain and suffering he was forced to endure. As Elizers father muttered the words " I can't go on" (Wiesel, 100) I could not imagine what was going through Elizers head. Sadness, anger, pain, despair? As I read those words I felt nothing but compassion for each and every person who had to go through such an awful experience. I think the characters in this story really help enhance the story. This book was heartbreaking and at the same time made you smile through the course of the book. It's the best book of its kind that I have read so far. It made me feel like I was feeling the pain, sadness, fear, and hunger right along with Elizer and his father.

This story focuses on every aspect of the camps. However, some stuck in my mind more than others. "We were tormented with hunger" (Weisel, 39) the struggle of starvation contributed to a large portion of the plot in this story. When Elizer sacrificed his own food ration to give to his ill father, he became my favorite character. Because his ability to block out his own needs and be completely unselfish was inspiring to me. Being tormented by hunger is a hard concept to grasp for people of today. Night did a great job of weaving that into the plot. Starvation was a large portion of the story because of the number of people that perished because of lack of food. In fact, thousands, if not more, Jewish people died while being held in concentration camps. I had a very hard time relating to Night. I could not imagine being killed because of the color of my hair, or simply because of something I believe in. Although this is a sad and horrific reality that theses events happened in our past, I would recommend anyone above the age of 14 and up to read this book. It can, and will, prevent us from making these same mistakes in our future.

Night was a very real, true, and eye-opening book. It was suspenseful, action packed, and informative. I thought this book was well written and very detailed. It shows the true struggle of two people's journey through the concentration camps and their battles to stay alive. It's a great book!

Summary: The Dark Years
Review: "My father was my only reason for living." For me right now there are so many reasons for me to live. Before i read the book i wouldn't have known how he could have lost so much hope and faith, but once i became aware of how he lost so much faith and will to survive.
A ggod example of irony in this book is in the beginning of the book when thew germansmove move into the jews houses. The jews thought that the Germans would be nice to them, but then they began to be meab to them and began to put barricades on there houses and take their valuable posessions. Another good example of irony is when Elie and his Father are walking towards the fire pit that the people are burning in , but about two steps before they got to the pit they changed directions and didn't have to go into the pit.
"The soup tasted like carcuses."
If i had soup to eat every day im sure i grow to love it. If that was all we had to eat though i'm sure it would grow old very soon. I would love to eat more than just soup every day too.
In summary of this book night, I think that this book was a very good one. It kind of makes the reader sad when he reads the book though. It makes us feel lucky to live in the years we do now. If i were a Jew in those days i dont know if i could have made it through all of the pain they had to go through. If i were seperrated From my mom i would have been too sad to go on.

Summary: Painful memories
Review: "A-7713". I don't know what I would do if my name was changed to a number. I think that it surely would have been weird to be addressed as a number because I would feel like I didn't mean anything, sort of like being treated like I was a dog.
in the book Night there were a lot of emotional and sad things that occurred throughout the story. There was also a lot of violence and hatred thrown at the jewish people during the Holocaust.
I think that the book Night is very educational for kids these days because it teaches us a lot about what went on during the Holocaust. "It gave me a good picture on how badly the jews were treated, and for what? Because of their religion they were involved in and the beliefs that they had." In my opinion I think that the Germans during the Holocaust, were not very nice people, and I don't know how any civilized humn being could burn another person or watch another starve, doing nothing about it. I also think that if most of the jews wouldn't have stayed together and kept little faith that they had in the lord, the Germans and the concentration camps would have got the best of them.
"From time to time I would dream of a drop of soup, of an extra ration of soup.......". This was merely one of Elie's thoughts that evolved in his head, practically throughout the Holocaust. The jews were starved, beaten, and harrassed for everything that they had during the Holocaust. They had nothing and would have nothing all through the years of the holocaust. My sorrow goes out to all the jews that survived or that were killed by the Germans.

Summary: Night
Review: I read this book as an English assignment for seventh grade English. Although I read many books concerning WWII, I found Night as a book that can touch anyone. As an autobography, it shared personal experiences. That was what made Night so special. The author was [Jewish]that lived imprisoned in a concentration camp. like Anne Frank, except this author is still alive.

Summary: a book that stays with you for a long time
Review: I started reading it at university before a lecture, I'd heard about the book through a friend.

I ended up skipping my lecture to continue reading it.

This is a beautiful, heartbreaking story of wisels' life as a boy, and his fathers', during the persecution of the Jews. Tears ran down my face many times, and after I had finished I just felt so incredibly sad, it gives you a really deep beautiful insight into the lifes of the Jews that were persecuted. Not just '6 Million Jews' but each indiviual life, each single person suffered during that time. Words just can't describe the power of this book.

Summary: The Night
Review: Beating and murdering children! Is that what kind of book anyone would like to read? Babies, children, and mothers getting turned to ashes! This book should not be read unless, anyone wants to be depressed or if your a person that can handle stuff like that.

Families would get separated. The heart breaks of the separation leading men to cry. They use most of their energy that is needed Their new journey wasn't a good either way. The way most women went, lead to "the fire of death," so I call it that. Most men or young adults or teens went the other way, which lead to torchor, maybe even death.

The use of the Irony was unwanted. "work is liberty," whom ever wanted to work is liberty good for them them but don't put people in that possition. They had to work to eat, work to sleep. They must work to live! It must have of sucked!

Starvation! Thats how most people died. They would only have soup and bread. The visual of the picture in my head of the, only one skin layered, boney skeleton. It was one of the most grossest visuals ever!

People should not read this book! They are separated from family for life. Heart broken forever! Not knowing when they're going to be able to eat, so they loose energy and starve! Just remember that Warning is not Death: "Warning Death!"

Summary: Elie, the beast.
Review: Elie Wiesel is a very lucky man. Although he has lost a great deal fron his ordeal he is fortunate just to have survived and been able to tell his story and win the nobel prize. This book is a real eye opener about the horrors of the Holocaust. Elie must have excellent memory to describe his life so vividly. I wonder if winning the award truly revived his faith or the million dollar prize money.

Summary: Darkness of thge hidden part of the world.
Review: I already knew what happened in concentration camps, but what I didn't know how bad it was in concentration camps. After reading this book called NIGHT by Elie Wiesel is added to my knowledge of the Holocaust. The good sides of this book are that he didn't leave anything out and he was true about every thing. He told the story like he lived those moments again. While reading this book I imagined myself in those camps and I couldn't stand some of the things I heard in the book. It was just terrible what they Jewish people went through in World War II.

Summary: How I Think
Review: I would highly recommand this book Night by Elie Wiesel, to people who think that they're not loved or complain about their life. I read Night for a school project. I hardly ever read because I dislike to read. But as I sat there and read the book or had the teacher read it out loud, I noticed my eyes graze on the words like a hungry person staring at food. It was the most interesting and detailed book I could have read.
I liked the book Night so much that I want to get the trilogy "Dawn". In Night Elie talks anout his life story from the age of 12 to 16. He explains every detail of what he went through in the Holocaust. Some details include smell of the food, taste of the bread, and feelings like when he wanted to hurt the S.S officer for hitting his dad or when he was so hungry and hurting really bad. I would definitly recommand the book Night by Elie Wiesel
