Tragedy In Eli Wiesel's Night

“Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed” (Wiesel 43). Eliezer Wiesel was a Jewish prisoner in concentration camps during World War II and the Holocaust. His memoir Night follows his experience at many of the Nazi work camps such as Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Buna. His survival was dependent through many close calls and coincidences that allow him to survive. His first close call comes when he and his father enter Birkenau.

Night is neither good nor evil, darkness the same. We humans do not fear the darkness or the night itself. We are afraid of what is lurking behind the curtain absent of light. It is fear of the unknown that scares us because it is foreign, something we cannot control. Wiesel’s own story, of which he names Night, plays with a different context of the word.

I remember that night as if it were crystal clear. The night in which an unfortunate realization took place, a reality check if you’d rather. It was the beginning of my freshman year of high school, I was at home along with the rest of my family. My older sister was doing homework and i was surfing through the channels, bored as usual. I recalled my mom being in the laundry room, so I proceeded to go in that direction in hopes of being entertained.

Divine Providence Why do bad things always happen to good people? The unknown can cause confusion plus stress. Divine Providence determines what happens in life. Being a hemisphere away from my grandmother as well as being naive to a certain sickness can take a toll on a twelve year old girl. When I was informed that she was sick, it was confusing at first since there were no details.

In our childhood, the most important people to us are our parents. We rely on parents to feed us, clothe us, provides for us, shelter us, and most importantly love us. Unfortunately, some parents fail to complete these important duties for their children. These disasters either happen by choice or by circumstance. The absence of family hurts everyone during childhood.

My hero is Katricia Robinson. Katricia Robinson is my mother, as a mother she plays a huge roll in my life she’s more than a mother she’s my best friend, she’s my hero. My mother is a hard worker, strong, loving, caring , independent woman. She’s the greatest woman ever, my mother is a walking miracle, she’s a woman with a lot of strength and faith.

She was fifty - three years old. A vast remainder of her life stood in front of her that should have been fulfilled with watching her children prosper, retirement and blissful moment. That was only fair. She had strived through poverty when she was younger, lost her husband at thirty - six, giving her the emotional and financial burden to raise three children on her own, aided others as a CNA for most of her career hood and never succumbed to any of it. So shouldn’t life have been easier for her now?

In the Jewish religion, worship services take place at a synagogue, a building for prayer and the study of God, which replaces the ancient Temple. The synagogue is a very important place to me. It helped me in moments when I was lost in and in life and I needed god to help me in situations that required miracles. For others, it seems absurd for me to use to go the synagogue to fix my problems, but It was more than that for me. I realized I was so out of touch in my religion that I needed to this regardless of my problems.
