beginning of the story‚ Elie is kindhearted and innocent. He would never harm anyone in any way‚ but towards the end of the story‚ he would kill a man if it meant getting an extra ration of bread or soup. Innocence can mean a multitude of things.

Was there ever a moment in time where you

Night by Elie Wiesel was rather short novel detailing Wiesel’s experience during Hitler’s reign and the Holocaust. Despite the fact that it was short‚ it not only conveyed the struggles and hardships that people went through during the Holocaust well‚ it also was written in a condensed yet powerful way.
