In Section 1 of Night‚ Wiesel uses imagery and direct characterization to develop the reader’s impression of Moishe the Beadle through Wiesel’s eyes.

world full of atrocities‚ past and present. Elie Wiesel’s true narrative‚ Night‚ is an acclaimed description of his trials through the cruelties of the Holocaust. Within the story‚ Wiesel accounted many abominations that happened daily to thousands of Jews at the hands of the Nazis. I couldn’t help but contemplate a few themes that played out‚ as I read the book‚ and have a few of my own epiphanies.

English 10 3 Mar. 2011 Blood Stained Spirits What was my reaction to Elie Wiesel’s book Night? The only way I can express my reaction is disbelief.
