    P4 9 December 2013 My Notice and Note Soiree In using my Notice and Note strategies‚ I found that my analysis of the book‚ Night by Elie Wiesel to be far more in depth than it would have been had I done the contrary. For instance‚ when applying the method of ‘Again and Again’ I realized that the phrase‚ “‘Fire‚ over there! The fire! Listen to me!’” (Wiesel 24) sequentially appeared in chapter two on pages 24 through 28. The phrase foreshadowed the revealing of the crematoriums on the camp Auschwitz

    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.

    Unit 3 Reflection Death’s narration makes the story much more interesting because not only is he able to narrate in first person but he’s also able to narrate in third person making the use of the literary device of foreshadowing much more effective.
