Throughout the book night, you see many examples of the will of the human being whether it is weak or strong, Such as Juliek's strong will to play his violin and raise the spirits of his fellow men, or Akiba Drumer's weak will, as he slowly loses his grip on his faith. Through all the examples of these people's wills, I think that the theme of this book is that through hardships, the will of a person is truly revealed. Some examples of hardships for Elie were the ghetto and the horrors of the concentration camps. He had gone through beatings and malnourishment. The food that he did receive was a small bowl of soup and a piece of bread, and these meals were infrequent. Through all this Elie's strong will to make it through is pushed out. An
Elie would give his rations of soup and bread to his father, so he could stay strong and survive. When they were in Buchenwald, the sick could not leave bed, and were not given soup or bread. Elie wanted to be near his father, "For a
In the book Night I believe that family is the highest priority to Elie. His father is very important to him and a great motivator to stay alive and keep trying. The book Night is set in a small town in WW2 the main characters are Elie and his father. They are both jews and are soon taken to a concentration camp and the book is about them surviving the camps they go to. Elie’s father is a big motivator for Elie, but in the end of the book Elie’s father dies.
The theme of the book Night is that Elie still had hope in being free even though it seemed like it had all vanished inside him. Elie Wiesel the author of the book states that while he was watching Buna getting bombed and that he had faith in the future. " But we no longer feared death, in any event not this particular death. Every bomb that hit filled us with joy, gave us renewed confidence.
The concentration camp left a deep wound on Elie that will never recover: losing his family, friends, life, opportunity, etc. He will forever remember those horrifying events that happened to not only him… but others around him. The Night is a rather slow passage book, it doesn’t really have a lot of harsh
The theme of Night is survival is possible, since Elie has gone through so much it is amazing how at one point he could have just ran into the fence and killed himself but he chose not to and now today he survived the Holocaust. In What I’ve Learned the theme is similar as
He could never look at a child the same way without thinking of what he saw, that first night in Auschwitz. Another example of the theme can be found on page 39, when Elie realizes hes forgotten the will to act. A final event that still keeps Elie up at night is in Chapter 4 where the camp leaders were trying to set an example by executing men, each saying the same thing, “LONG LIVE LIBERTY!” This didn’t phase Elie in the slightest after seeing so much death he didn't even blink, But when there was a child, it caught his attention. They never mentioned his real name but he was the Dutch Oberkapo pupil and after the Dutch Oberkapo were caught sabotaging an electric power station and stocking arms, the poor boy was
During all of the struggles Elie gains a bit of life knowledge, and learns more emotions about himself. If this journey never happened Elie would still be focussing about his studies and not about his family. A fact Elie acquires during the holocaust is always to stay positive in hard times. An example of this is when Elie is running for miles and notices men giving up just makes Elie think about when he can sleep and eat at the next camp. When news comes that the Russians will save the prisoners, Elie keeps this as a positive and keeps thinking this horrifying journey will be over.
The decisions you make in your life always come with a good or bad ending. In the novel “night” by elie wiesel, elie has to make life and death decisions. This novel is about how elie made decisions that lead him and his family to a concentration camp and explains the horrible things they have had to experience. In the end elie was the only survivor in his family. The decisions throughout the novel Elie made impacted his life and his innocence.
In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie has to face many problems during the Holocaust. He lost his identity and his faith towards God. Elie is focusing on surviving and saving his father while they are in camps, and marching through the cold winter snow. Elie has to live through the trauma and tragedy of the Holocaust that had a major impact on Elie’s identity and his faith. His identity changed as time went on and on, he had lost sight of himself and his faith.
In Night, Elie Wiesel also uses his constant struggle of survival to convey the theme that, in inhumane circumstances, people tend to lose track of their morals and sense of self. This theme is important because it causes people in Elie’s situation to change in a negative aspect. Like Wiesel, people tend to disconnect from relationships and practice behaviors they do not believe in order to
My theme for night was the preservation of self over others. Throughout the book many people become selfish and start to care only of themselves including Elie. The reason why I chose this as my theme is because I find it very interesting how under certain situations people change very rapidly. Elie soon comes to realize this , but does little to change it. Mostly ,because he needs to be this way in order to survive.
In this book Elie speaks of his hardships and how he survived the concentration camps. Elie quickly changed into a sorrowful person, but despite that he was determined to stay alive no matter the cost. For instance, during the death
He was able to continuously replenish his weak, old father little by little by making sacrifices such as by giving up his “ration of bread and soup” (110) due to his health and youth. But one aspect that he did not notice was that “every man for himself and . . . each of us lives and dies alone” (110). Elie does not discard his hopes of killing two birds with one stone, until at the end of the novel, when the doctor points out
"You are too skinny, you are too weak... at least [he] arrived" (72). This shows us that Elie was trying his hardest to run as fast as he could to show the doctor that he is still healthy and that he can still do work. This evidence matters because even though he went
Once liberated from these concentration camps, Elie has done much to make people around the world more aware of the indescribable events that occurred during his time in these camps, and make sure that people will speak out against these events instead of staying silent, so that these events may be prevented in the future. He wrote many pieces and delivered many speeches in attempt to lift the world out of indifference. I believe that Elie’s novel Night communicates his message more effectively than his speech, Perils of Indifference. Not only does it convey his message of that we all must speak out against
