Night‚ by Elie Wiesel‚ is a book narrating the harsh conditions Elie and his father went through in concentration camps‚ Auschwitz and Buchenwald‚ during the Holocaust.

The foremost merit for which this piece of text is valuable is the history it portrays. Because the

The night was silent. The half moon gazed down benevolently on the city‚ alone in a starless stretch of black sky. The streets were empty‚ and all that reached out into the shadowy darkness were the street lamps‚ placed so methodically and evenly it made them seem more significant than they really were.

Many devices are used in this poem to show the raw harsh night of November. The first line is a simile ‘tinkles like ice’ the word ‘ice’ represents the harshness and how painful ice is. When we look at the form of the poem‚ we can see how the poet uses enjambment to continue in what’s being said. The line ‘tries the door‚ and sidles past’ gives of a feeling of terror as the poet has personified it and gives of an impression that a human is trying to enter the house. On the second stanza the

The City at Night I step forward into the deep‚ soft snow and hear the sound of a muffled packing of frozen wetness. All the sounds are muffled‚ yet somehow amplified by parentheses they fall hard but slow‚ despite the weight. I look at the cloud they fall from and think how the snowflake seems like a frozen flake of a billowy cloud.
