Dialectical Journal For Night By Elie Wiesel

513 Words3 Pages

When Wiesel said that he had ceased to feel human, he mean that he prefer to give up, to die not to feel pain anymore. Also, he means that death might be better than living at that moment, hat it would be so easy to just fall off to the side and die then there would be no more pain or misery. He wouldn’t be cold, his foot would be not hurt, he wouldn’t be hungry, tired or anything. He has seen over and over other people just… not really give up. But more… give in to death, and if it wasn’t for his dad he probably would have done it. Elie and the other prisoners are fully exposed to the horrible inhumanity of the Nazis. Due to the brutal methods of the Nazis, they are transformed from respected individuals into obedient, animal-like automatons. …show more content…

For example its like if everything I had was gone the people I love, my home everything I will think that sooner or later I will be gone too so why care about anything. Also, some things that causes people loose their sense of dignity and human is that working hard the whole day and not being allow to make anything they want to do. Further more, watching others be starved and murdered without anyone doing anything to stop lead to loose their sense of dignity and humanity. The people in the camp were treated as of they were animal or just and object and they cannot fight back because they would be putting their life at risk and working everyday without stopping till they hear the bell ring as a if their life is regulated by a bell. I think that if I were Elie I will give up because I knew that anyways I will be death because if I tried to do something they will kill me anyways and being death I will feel no paint and I will not be manipulated like an slave just to make their commands I will not give them that

    The way the officers treated the Jews made them feel like they weren't human anymore, and no better than inanimate objects. “You...you...you…” They pointed their fingers, the way one might choose cattle, or merchandise” (49). The officers acted as if the task of deciding who lived and who died was easy and required almost no thought. Again, the jewish people are not only compared to as dogs, but as merchandise.

    “Every few yards, there stood an SS man, his machine gun trained on us. Hand in hand we followed the throng.” ( pg. 29) Eliezer's instinct for survival outweighs everything else. Although Eliezer and his family did not want to go to Auschwitz, they went because they were threatened if they did not comply. The SS guards would have killed anyone who did not follow orders, so they left their home and everything they have every known in order to survive.

    1- Elie Wiesel is comparing the soup to the taste of corpses because before they went to get their soup to eat, they watched the hanging of three bodies, two men and a child. They had to watch the light child struggle for life in the noose, watching him for half an hour up close until he died, no one wanted to see a child get hanged at an age like that. I feel that the emotions Elie is trying to communicate with us is extreme sadness and sorrow not only because of the death of the two prisoners, but because of the death of the boy. This quote to me, means that because of what he saw up close and for a half an hour, the 13 year old boy trying to cling to his life in the noose, had left a bad taste in his mouth for the soup.

    To find a man who has not experienced suffering is impossible; to have man without hardship is equally unfeasible. Such trials are a part of life and assert that one is alive by shaping one’s character. In the autobiographical memoir Night by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, this molding is depicted through Elie’s transformation concerning his identity, faith, and perspective. As a young boy, Elie and his fellow neighbors of Sighet, Romania were sent to Auschwitz, a macabre concentration camp with the sole motive of torturing and killing Jews like himself. There, Elie experiences unimaginable suffering, and upon liberation a year later, leaves as a transformed person.

    The Effects of Suffering on a 12 year Old Boy “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars” - Khalil Gibran. Throughout Night, Elie Wiesel copes with the agony of the Holocaust first hand. Suffering by definition is the state of undergoing pain, distress, or hardship. In Wiesel’s Night, suffering forces people to make inhumane decisions, shatters hope, and destroys self identity. Suffering forces people to be put in bad places where they feel pressured to eventually make inhumane decisions.
