Night 3

           I have finished Night and can say it was definitely my favorite of all he books I have read. The way it was written just made every page more and more interesting. It did get sad at points but that only made it better to read. The aspect I liked about the book the most was the way the author made a narrative out of the events that happened. There was a lot of fiction in the non-fiction. A lot of the time there were thoughts and feeling that Elie Wiesel saw in other which he couldn’t prove true. It made the book much better to read.

            The other thing I likes was the emotions and the way the book made you want to keep reading in order to find out what happened next. One of the main themes was the idea to never give up on yourself. There was a point in the book where a German soldier said, “Courage! Just a few more hours!” (Wiesel 204). At this point the Germans where forcing the Jews to run to the next camp which was over 20 kilometers away. Those that didn’t keep pace or had to stop were shot right then and there. During the run Wiesel just thought to himself that he has to keep running and not think. Just to run and believe that he can make it. This was probably the biggest part where Wiesel had to fight in order to survive. Elie did survive long enough to write this book but he said he never looked at himself the same again. Wiesel even states, “From the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me” (Wiesel 244). This just goes to show that these people went in the camps and came out changed men.

            I would recommend this book to everyone just because it was so good.
