Summary: Night Review - English 12
Review: I liked the detailing and the real experiences in this book. I like how factual everything was even though it made me realize how horrid the Holocaust really was. It took hearing one person's real life experience to make me realize how much bad stuff really happened. I disliked the truth in a way I guess. I didn't like the fact that what I was reading was true. It was a well written book but such a sad story. I wouldn't change anything about this book.

I think Elie's purpose for writing this book was to educate everyone about the Holocaust. I think he wanted people to know the true experiences of the Jews. The most memorable part of the book for me was when Elie's father died, and Elie didn't cry. It really made me sad for him. It's not that his father's death didn't make him want to cry, but that he had no tears left to cry for him.

Review: I think that the book was good in showing how the Jews had to go through a lot but they should have said more stuff about people in the book after they left the camps.

Summary: yea
Review: I liked the way the book was written. Elie told his personal story making it all very real and intriguing. It was easy to read and the story kept my attention. Elie used details to keep the readers interested. Everybody knows something about the Holocaust, but to read a personal story with all the discription that Elie used pulls at the readers emotions and makes it all the more real. There really wasn't much I disliked about the book. And I definately wouldn't change anything about it, because it was written the way Elie saw things, and you can't change the way someone feels about something. I think Elie published this book to help people understand the Holocaust. I never really understood how much these people went throught until I read his book. The thing I will remember most about this book isn't really a certain part of the book, but just in general how unhuman these people were treated. No human being should ever be treated the way they were, they were treated worse than animals. I really can't even imagine the kind of person that could have no feelings or emotions to be able to treat a person so awful. "Night" was a good book that everyone should read to try and come closer to an understanding of what the Jews endured.

Summary: Randi
Review: I thought that this was a great book. The book was very discriptive and explained in good detail. This book touches ones emotions and shows how much the Jews had to go through and who they had to deal with. The stories and the detail also help to prove that the Holocaust did really happen. I did not fully understand how awful the German soldiers were and how mistreated the Jews were until I read ths book. Night really makes you think and really makes you appreciate what you have and to never take it for granted because at any moment it could be gone. There is a lot of evil in this world and this book proves that. This book also makes me proud to live in the United States and it makes me proud to be free. There was not much that I disliked about the book, this was a book that I did not want to put down. There isn't anything really that you could change about this book, it came from this mans own experience and he just wrote what he saw. Ellie wants to make known of what he and his family and friends had to go through. Many people believe that the Holocaust did not happen and Ellie just wants to prove that it did. My most memorable part was the part when his father died, to know how much he loved his father in the beginning and the fact that he had been through so much that ge couldn't even cry. That showed me what he went through and how much shock he was in.

Summary: The Masacre
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I liked how Elie Weisel was so descriptive with his true story about the Holocaust. This book gave me a realistic image of what the Jews went through in their struggle for survival. This book changed my perspective on this cruel period in time.
Elie dragged out some of the stories in this book. I understand he was trying to paint a mental picture in his readers heads but some parts were quit lengthy. There were parts that got a little boring.
I would minimize some of his stories if it were up to me. The thing that really disturbed me was that he said he would sleep while he was running. I do not like that at all. There is no way that could happen.
Elie was trying to let the public know that this awful event did indeed happen. He was letting everyone know what he lived through. I believe this book was some kind of tribute to those who lost their lives there.
My most memorable part is when Elie was in the Hospital bed. It is amazing that he felt blessed to be laying there with those white sheets. He was more then happy to be in the hospital with a gimp foot because there was no role call. It really makes you think how bad it must have been.

Summary: A document of time...
Review: The process of reading "Night" was almost difficult. It is a document of the world's history that we need not forget, but it a very sad part of history and hope is a rarity of such documents. I thought that the book was written very honestly and simply. I don't think I can say I "enjoyed" it, but I am glad I read it. The ending was a bit anti-climatic and I would have liked to feel a bit more resolved. Many people do not understand the serverity of the Holocaust and by publishing "Night" Wiesel had his say in those dark times during World War II. The last line of the book, as unresolved as it may be, is quite memorable. I can not do justice to line without quoting it, however, I do not have a book with me. But it has to do with Elie looking in the mirror for the first time after being in the concentration camps and the face in the mirror seemed to be a stranger to him. Elie said that he would never forget that look on the stranger's face.

Summary: The Night Review
Review: Night was one of the best books I have read. I enjoyed reading about the Holocaust. The book was very descriptive and it painted a mental picture in my mind. As I was reading the book, I felt like i was right there by Ellie. It was horrifying to read some the the things that went on during the Holocaust,but I was very interested in knowing what when on. I liked learning of Ellie's many struggles between life and death. I felt like i was right there struggling for life with Ellie. This true account of the Holocaust was very interesting and definetly left me wanting to read more. I don't think I would change anything in the book. If anything I think I would of elaborated more on the book, and told of anything that happened after the liberation. The writer made the book very interesting, and i would be delighted to read any other books by Ellie Wiesel.

Summary: Night Review
Review: Elie Wiesel takes you back to the time of the Holocaust by telling the story of how he endured the mental and physical tourment that many Jews went through. This book was well written. Wiesel gave a very eye opening look at what happened in the concentration camps.
Wiesel gave very detailed decriptions of everything that went on inside the camps and inside his mind. Without these details the story would not have the same affect. Wiesel's story was very informative and gave great insight to the events that took place.
There is really nothing that I disliked. I think that there was really nothing to dislike because it was someone telling a true story. There is nothing that I would change about the book. To me, there is no way to change a book that tells a true account of someone's life.
I believe that Wiesel published this book to give insight to what really went on. There are still many people today that believe that the Holocaust did not occur, and I think that Wiesel was making a point. Wiesel pointed out how cruel and unjust the Holocaust was and what it did to all that made it out of those concentration camps.
I remember the very end of the book. The concentration camp that Wiesel was at was liberated and soon after he became deathly ill. Wiesel was in the hospital and finally had the nerve to look in the mirror. What he saw was a corpse before his eyes. Wiesel wrote that the image he saw was one that he will never forget, and that is the one thing I will never forget about this story.

Summary: Dark & Dreary Night
Review: This book was really freaking sad. I was in a happy mood one Wednesday morning. Then second period I sat down to read Elie Wiesel's Night, and I got really sad. But I really have nothing to moan about compared to Elie who actually went through the whole mess. Elie'e account of being taken from his home, then split from his family and transported to and from Nazi concentration camps, gives a rare in-depth perspective.
I can't say I enjoyed reading the book, but I thought it was well written and in depth. I didn't like how sad the book was but what can you do about that, it was the Holocaust. You can't really change anything about this book, it was somebody's firsthand true account. Elie's purpose for publishing it was to prove wrong those people who deny that the Holocaust happened.
