the eye begins to see‚..." Personally‚ I agree fully with Roethke’s statement. Roethke’s ideology is found in both "Night" by Elie Wiesel and "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck.

In "Night" by Elie Wiesel‚ the main character‚ Eliezer was faced with a conflict that changed his life and the lives everyone he loved. He

dystopian society of the book “Night” was very difficult to bare‚ causing pain and suffering. People worked for little food. They experienced death everyday as they’re loved ones were being taken away from them. Being stripped‚ shaved‚ disinfected‚ and were treated with unimaginable cruelty. They never had anything just ever handed to them. Having to work endless amounts of days for survival. Modern day society can compare and contrast with the dystopian society of the novel “night” by comparing the different

Say More with Less “Night” by Eliezer Wiesel is a powerful novel‚ yet it received backlash for not going into detail about the Jew’s horrific experiences while at concentration camps.

Article 12 is violated by purposely separating the family members. “An SS came toward us wielding a club. He commanded: “Men to the left! Women to the right!” Eight words were spoken quietly‚ indifferently‚ without emotion

Night was an actual person’s experience at the concentration camps‚ which is why I probably felt like I understood and learned more. The first thing that I learned was about how cruel the Nazis were. The Nazis made sure that concentration camps weren’t talked about so that it would be easier to get all the Jews there. The Nazis would invade towns and gain people’s trust‚ then they would use the trust against them which would eventually lead them to their death. Before I read Night‚ I knew
