Night By Elie Wiesel Analysis
We second-guess others morals and why they act the way they do in certain situations every day. Elie Wiesel (who dat?) stated in his Nobel Prize speech, “For us, forgetting was never an option.

Most of these people believe this way because of their morals or religion, however, when this type of cruelty is taking place, being humble as well as noble is the last of my concern.
