    Being the last sentence of the book, and out of all the passages I highlighted this one stood out to me and described Wiesel’s experience in just a few simple sentence. He looked at himself for the first time in many years, and did not recognize himself he saw a different person. This showed me that the concentration camps changed him he was a different person inside and out. The events that occurred to him had scared him so much that the man he saw in the mirror wasn’t him, but one who had been drained of life that looked lifeless from the events occurred in the concentration camps. He was weak and this whole passage embodies his weakness and the whole point of the concentration camps.

    The book Night by Elie Wiesel is a sad and depressing story about Eliezer and his story during the Holocaust and every thing that happened to him during this time. I feel that if I was in this situation I would feel the same exact way Eliezer would because being a teenager during the time of all of this would be stressful and complicated, in fact, this is how I would relate to the text personally. If I had to compare how I view the world between how the text views the world then I would say that they would be similar and agree with each other. There will always be bad people/ things in the world, but if you wait long enough and try hard enough you’ll make it to the end and all the pain will go away. In this situation I feel as if giving up would be the wrong thing to do and pushing through would be the right thing to do in order to stay alive.

    In the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, there was a very strong shift in the tone just within the first three chapters. “The shopkeepers were doing good business, the students lived among their books, and the children played in the streets”(Weisel 6). It is shown here that they were living ordinary, peaceful lives. “The shadows around me roused themselves as if from a deep sleep and left silently in every direction”(Weisel 14). This is where people began to no longer feel peaceful and began the long journey of fear and worry that would get worse throughout the book.

The author is saying that he wrote about his experiences to try and regain some of the humanity that he lost during the Holocaust.
