What Is The Reflection Of The Book Night By Elie Wiesel

Two weeks and three days after Eliezer Wiesel was released out of Buchenwald he looked himself in the mirror and saw a horror of himself. “I wanted to see myself in the mirror...From the depths of the mirror, a corpse gazed back at me.” said Wiesel at the end of the book. This quote has a lot of meaning because he hadn’t seen a reflection of himself since the ghetto, which was in 1941. He refers himself as a corpse, which shows the rough conditions he went through at these concentration camps. He sees a reflection of a worn out man, who will never forget these camps and change himself to a better person. Elie was super skinny because of the harsh concentration camp conditions, the long marches to other concentration camps, and being starved.
His father died a few days after arriving at the camp because of exhaustion and the lack of space in the blocks. On April fifth 1945, the U.S. found Eliezer Wiesel and the Jews and brought them to the U.S. in order to get them back in health and find them a new home. In this mirror, he reflects on his childhood and what happened to him in order to preserve the bad memories and move forward. He will never forget the concentration camps, but he shares his journey with us to understand how harsh the Holocaust was. After reading this book, I couldn’t imagine being in his feet and going through these camps because of how good my life is. I can’t complain about how hard my life is because Elie went through worse and after reading it I appreciate what I have in life because it could be worse. Others don’t realize or appreciate what they have because they want everything their way, but in reality they life is so much better than the Jews back in 1941. Sometimes I look in the mirror because I want to reflect on my childhood and experiences I went through, so I can realize how much I changed over the past years and see what holds in the
