    The part that I personally found the most sorrowful in Night written by Elie Wiesel is when he and his father get separated from each other due to his father’s death. The bond between the two was unbreakable and they never thought that they would be able to get through it all without each other. They agreed that neither of them would let this bond fade. This is why when Elie and his father do get separated it is so heartbreaking. They had always agreed that they would of died for one another if it

    My featured painting today entitled The Night was painted by Max Beckmann during 1918 and 1919. It is housed at the Kunstammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen‚ Dusseldorf. This is an early example of Beckmann’s grotesque and appalling visionary paintings with its misshapen figures. Before us we have an overcrowded room in a modern city. Beckman himself said he wanted this work to be looked upon as a large modern history painting tinged with a sense of evil. Three men have invaded the room and are terrorising

    other name.” (42) Elie Wiesel’s Night is about a young Jewish boy and his experiences through the Holocaust in the 1940’s. Any human being should never experience the hell-like terror that Elie had to go through.

Wiesel uses night not only as the title but also as a symbol of time‚ a world without God‚ and man’s inhumanity to man. Night is defined as a time of day when
