Night
1. What is your Text about?
Night is an autobiography by a man named Eliezer Wiesel. The autobiography is a quite disturbing record of Elie’s childhood in the Nazi death camps Auschwitz and Buchenwald during world war two. While Night is Elie Wiesel’s testimony about his experiences in the Holocaust, Wiesel is not, precisely speaking, the story’s protagonist.

My thoughts
I had known for a long time the sort of horrors and torturous things went on at these camps, but what this book does teach is the horrors and tortures of one. The book tells of the emotions and experiences through the eyes of one who has actually experienced those terrible times.
This book opened my mind a little to really appreciate the world as it is now. Freedom is everything, and without freedom you have nothing. Freedom was taken from these people, and followed by their lives. I thought it a disgrace that humans could do such things. As you read this book you constantly are trying to imagine what it would actually be like, but you could never really understand
Some of the evnts displayed in this book really made you embarrased to be a human. How can there be so much hate between one kind. Black, White, Asian. Dewish, Christian, arabic. We are all the same, what you do to others you do to yourself. Humans are the most advanced creatures alive yet we can act like the most primative, and brutal of all. This was the outcome of one mans insanity, one extreme occultist, oblivious to reality, and lost in his own obsession of his perfect world.
