Night

So far in Night there have been so many graphic scenes. Elie Weisel describes every instance so in depth. A part that stook out at me the most was when Eliezer and other people watch a man risk his life for soup. Its so sad because as the man reaches for the soup about to eat it he is shot and falls lifeless to the ground. Another part was when the child was murdered! It seems that through out the book no character has cried but as they watch the child be murdered they break down into tears. It seems that God is represented at this time in the book and how it is disgraceful for God to let this poor child die. The story seems to be a symbol of survival especially as executions continue on, Eliezers father and himself struggle to live as they become weak. I believe that even in Eliezers situation when he made the choice to leave the hospital i think that there is no way to know what you should do. Especially since the whole journey for Eliezer has been a mystery of terror.

I am about a fourth into Night and I love the book so far. Elie Wiesel is so descriptive and he writes with so much emotion. At some parts it had been chilling to think of the way the Jews were treated. So far the part where the Jews are taken to the barrack and were stripped and shaved and gasoline was used to clean them off. I can not even imagine the thought of being drenched in gasoline. I can only picture the way Elie must have felt that night when he was taken into the barracks and he had no idea when he would be leaving or if he ever would. It is horrible to think how the Nanzis treated the Jews. They had pits to burn babies and adults!! I can not even think of how that must feel to so them and wonder what about me? Am I next? I wonder if Elie will ever see his sister and mother again. I am really looking forward to the rest of the book!

My group has worked very well together so far. We have been able to accomplish many things so far. For instance we were able to distribute characters with out debate. Every one was happy with who they got to be in the play. We have also been able to discuss character costumes and the Promptbook jobs. We are a very organized group and have worked very well together. We hope to accomplish so much more in the upcoming classes.

I expect this book to be a terrifying journey about a boys life being taken away from his home and taken to a concentration camp.  I am somewhat afraid of the thoughts that Eliezer Wiesel may use to describe his experience.  However, in the past I have read a lot of books about the holocaust.  I think it is interesting to read about Elie (the author) writes about death and desperation.  I expect this book to teach me about lost faith when in the hardest times you need but God somehow doesn’t come to help.  I feel as though the events that occured during the Halocaust are unforgettable and I would never be able to find my self being treated so unfairly.  I have a feeling after reading this book I will begin to appreciate my life even more because of the way they were treated.   It seems that considering this book is about a young boys journey who is infact the author makes the book seem so much more heart wrenching.  I have heard only good things about this book but i also have heard that this book haunting.  I look forward to reading this book.
