Reflection Questions 152-156

152. Why do you think Elie Wiesel wrote this book?
I think Elie Wiesel wrote this book because he wanted to share his experiences with us and the process of what happened throughout this time of period. He wanted to show us what it was like when he went throughout the whole thing. He wanted us to feel what he felt so history won't repeat itself.


153. Why do you think he chose Night as the title?
I think he chose to name it Night as the title because he felt like everything was passing in the dark. Like if he were in a dark place that he couldn't see nothing but darkness that surrounded him. You know he was just like a room without any lights.


154. How does Elie change as a result of his experiences in the concentration camps?
Elie changes as a result of his experiences in the concentration camps by him getting traumatize of everything he has been through and like all that happened with him through the concentration camps he changed because he became more mature about everything and he fighted for his own survival even though he cared about his Father but he fought for his own will.

155. How does Elie finally come to terms with his ordeal? (What does he finally do?)
Elie finally stops thinking about his father if he's gonna live or not and he just tries to fight for what he wants to do: Survival. He finally listens to what people are trying to tell him all the way from the beginning:to stop caring of other people and not yourself, care about what you want to do which is survive this nightmare.

156. Give examples of issues in Night that still arise today and what do you think you should be done about genocide?
Some examples from Night that still arise today are that people still go to concentration camps, people still get burned in crematories and gas chambers, another thing is that families still get separated from each other, and another issue is that people still get discriminated because of their race especially Jews. I think that we should like make a contract with the people who own the concentration camps like to stop this or like offer money and just take out all those people who are still alive and are there stuck in there suffering and give them some kind of health so they won't be suffer anymore.
