Reflection Questions 152-156 On Night

152. Why do you think Elie Wiesel wrote this book?
I think he wrote this book because he wanted to show readers how it was like. And how a lot of people would suffer because they would get separated from there family's and kids had to work at a young age, but he wanted to show his readers how it was like back then, with people suffering.

153. Why do you think he chose Night as its title?
I think he chose Night as its title because everything basically happened at night because when they wake up the next morning there weak and they just don’t want to get up. And so Night really causes the problem for the next morning, but sometimes they would’t even go to sleep they would just work over night. But I think they chose the title Night because in the night they would suffer because they did’t know if they were gonna see one of there friends or family member the next morning, so it was hard for them.

154. How does Elie change as a result of his experiences in the concentration camps?
In the story Elie was always taking care of his father and where ever his dad was he had to be there right there beside him, he would’t want to leave his father at all, not even for a minute. But if he had to because of an order then he would have to leave his father, he did’t want to leave him but he did, because he had to. But he changed a lot when of the men came up to Elie and said that he should’t be taking care of his father , he should be taking care of himself and not to worry about other people but to worry about himself. And so when his father died Elie did’t even cry. So at that point he changed.


155. How does Elie finally come to terms with his ordeal ( what does he finally do?)
Elie starts taking care of himself and he does’t care for anyone but himself. But he not mean to anyone he just gonna take care of himself just like everyone else is doing. And from all the suffering he been threw. He learned how to stand up for himself. He learned a lot of things.


156. Give examples of issues in Night that still arise today and what do you think should be done about genocide.
The thing that still going on today is people getting killed in other country's and they as well are suffering too. I think genocide should be stopped by the U.S going to other country's and try to stop what is happening, because we don’t want children to suffer and other people who live in different countries.
