An Excerpt From 'Going Back To Last Night'
Going back to last night convo..
1. Don't worry, I don't have any plans to tell anyone about the things you told me about Omar + your other pals/friends
2. I only know you from what you're will to tell me.. Which is a lot, because you like to be honest with me.... But with that said, this is my chance to ask you this one question, if your friends (Chris & Sergio) were my friends, what would they tell me about you? Would they say you sleep around, talk to multiple females at the same time, have cheated, expressed the desire to cheat but didn't, have commitment concerns, is a complainer, too emotional & etc.. You get the idea here lol

There are two reasons why I'm asking you now.. 1. I didn't question you last night. 2. I'm honest with you too,

    P.9 -the yellow star? Oh well, what of it? You dont dies of it. . . . (Poor Father! Of what then did you die?)I think that the yellow star that the Jews were forced to wear, brought up on page 9 of Night, is a very important part of this book. First off, this quote foreshadows his fathers death later in the book. It means that though his thought being identified as a Jew wouldnt harm him, but in the end being Jewish is what killed him. I think this is very important. It shows that even though people knew of the war and what was going on to Jews they could not comprehend that the fact that they are Jewish is what would eventually kill them.…

    In the book Night by Elie Wiesel there are specific events that occur causing characters to begin to lose faith in God or their gods. Elie explicitly says in the book, “How could such a good God could let this happen to his people.”(something along those lines) Faith is a way people can connect with a higher being and use that connection to shape their lives. It is said that true faith in God is only shown under true conditions of struggle or pain. Evidence from the text about how the babies burning and forming lines of people to be killed really test’s Elie’s faith in God. In the book he admits losing faith in God not understanding how he could let that happen. In my own opinion, under that stress, grief, and torture I…

    While reading “Night” by Elie Wiesel, I came across a lot of key ideas and themes that ran consistently through out the book. Three major ideas that I felt were important were Elie’s trial to keep faith in his God, the use of silence and night and finally, having to keep your mind at ease amongst all the inhumanity. Although these ideas are different, they play off of one another.…

    The use of reflections is common in pieces of literature so that authors can incorporate hidden meaning behind simple actions in their works. For example the eyes are commonly known as the windows to the soul making the simple action of looking into another’s eyes much more complicated in a piece of literature(Schwartz). “Of course, the meaning of the words is that by looking into the eyes of a person one can see their hidden emotions and attitudes and thoughts” (Schwartz). Also when the author makes a point to mention in detail items that have reflective surfaces they are inferring that there is a deeper meaning behind the reflection. In the short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce…

    Often people may wonder, “what did I do to deserve this?” Well, that is exactly what Elie Wiesel was thinking in 1960, when he was just 15 years old. Wiesel is the author of the memoir “Night”. He is a famous holocaust survivor. This novel describes his fighting journey in the concentration camp “Auschwitz”. He struggles with many factors, the two biggest factors being survival and faith. If there is a situation where cruelness is a key factor, the one being attacked may wonder why God isn’t helping them out in this situation. That can make them question God and may take over their sense of faith in him. Cruelty taking over the sense of faith is displayed in this novel, including the deaths of many innocent, the death of Meir Katz, and the death of Elie’s father, Shlomo Wiesel.…

    The appalling realities of war can break even the most powerful of a man’s convictions. During World War II, the Holocaust reduced even the strongest of men to struggle for the bare necessities of survival. Elie Wiesel, a victim of these horrifying acts, persisted through the death and suffering but did not leave unscathed. In his novel Night, Wiesel recounts the moving journey of a Jewish boy having his faith challenged by an almost unimaginable horror. Throughout the story, Wiesel’s passionate connection to God becomes constantly tested to the utmost, and is eventually given up completely to adjust to the dehumanizing conditions in a German concentration camp.…
