Imagine living in a world where no one had humanity. This was most shown then the Nazi soldiers took the jews belongings and shaved all their heads to humiliate them. In the book “Night” by Elie Wiesel this in many instants was shown along with many others downgrades of the jews. Many cases throughout the book “Night” the innocent jews no longer felt like humans and more like dogs. Try to imagine being treated like an abused animal having zero freedoms and to top it off being trapped with no options or help. This is exactly how the jews felt during the holocaust. “Children were crying for water.”(16).This shows how they were treated so bad. Children shouldn't ever have to beg for simple necessities to live. This connects to the book because Elie and his father were constantly getting starved by the nazis. There is zero quality of life if you are being treated like an a animal having zero freedoms and are trapped in large camps infested with every possible disease. …show more content…

He questions why he has to be thankful and bless God’s Name. Elie vowed his first night to never forget the moment that killed his God and his soul, and turned his dreams to dust. He would never forget, even if he was condemned to live as long as God himself (Wiesel 32). Elie states he will never forget the horrors he saw. They killed his faith in God, because he believed that in their moment of need God had abandoned

In our society there is a big issue with violence,intolerance,and marginalization so how can we resolve this peacefully?.(sentence tying these two things together)”There is no truth sure enough to justify persecution”(Milton n.pag.).Although countries value safety and security, people with different races,religion, and gender are often persecuted.

When Elie was in the concentration camp after a while he started to get used to all the death going around him, and the promise of hope to be diminished if it to come to anyone. He started to become empty with no feeling except hunger, no fear, no sorrow, no pity for his father, just the hungriness that was starting to drive him mad with all the others, “ No thought of revenge, or of parents. Only of bread.”(pg 115). He didn't have any thought of revenge or to make them suffer like he did. He found his sister afterwards and reunited with her, but that same emptiness that came with what he had been though was still there, and was to stay .
Night Essay By Shaynna For a young child, one of the most difficult duties to deal with is the separation from the people and objects they know and care about, such as their home, friends and family. This can be seen all over the world, weather its a young adult moving away from home, or the loss of a family member many people struggle with change and separation.

Elie experienced this horrific truth on the first night at a camp, as stated in the book “Small children, babies!

The possibility that they could do something great with their lives.
Generally speaking, humans cannot be entirely prepared for dying or the death of a close person in their life. Some people say that facing death gives a person both opportunity to grow mentally and the strength to carry on in life; however, it can be too much to handle alone.

Death can be both interesting and frightening at the same time because nobody knows what happens afterwards.
Seeing all the suffering at the camps made Elies innocence break a little, “that night, the soup tasted like corpes.” (pg.65) Elies father was beaten when he asked for help and Elie just “stood there petrified, what had happened to me? My father had just been struck, in front of me, and i had not even blinked. I had watched and kept silence.” At that moment Elie felt that his father was at fault.
Throughout Night, dehumanization consistently took place as the tyrant Nazis oppressed the Jewish citizens. The Nazis targeted the Jews' humanity, and slowly dissolved their feeling of being human. The feeling of dehumanization was very common between the jews. They were constantly being treated as in they were animals. The author and narrator Elie Wiesel, personally experienced being treated like an animal
Before the thought of being confined in concentration camp ever occurred to Elie, his life was one that was oriented around pursuing the divinity of his religion and being emotionally stimulated by this pursuit. When Elie is inquired by a local cabala practitioner, known as Moshe, about why he wept when he pray, Elie 's response is "-because of something inside of me that felt the need for tears." This response evoked from Elie shows that he is connected with his soul and is one that is so emotionally-inspired that he "felt the need for tears." In addition to the expression of his emotions, Elie describing his absolute demand for displaying his sentiments also show how connected he is with feeling the power of his own prayer. After all, Elie weeped over the loss of the Temple and ran to the synagogue every night just to pray, showing his undying, faithful
