Rating:  Summary: My review Review: The book night was a great book. It had a nice story line behind the book. I liked the book because the book had a real story to it. Not like other books that are made up I dont care for books that arent true.The only part that i didnt like about the book is when the jew reached the soup pots and died for no reason.If i could change a part in the book I would change the part about the soup pots.Elie just wanted the world to know what he had to go though when he was a child.My most menorable part of the book was at the beging of the book where the threw babys in the air for target pratice. Over all this book was a great book.
Rating:  Summary: Dark, gripping, fast paced. Review: A spartan, gripping account of Wiesel's personal horrifying experiences as a jewish teenage boy taken with his family by the Nazi's and suffering through the work camps. His only mantra becomes " Stay with my father". As a mother with two small children at home, I read this book in a day ( I am not sure what my kids were doing whilst I was so engrossed.) but this is simply an unforgettable, haunting book. I have given away my own personal copy of this book and rebought another...several times. If you are interested in personal accounts of the holocaust or tales of extraordinary survival against the odds, I cannot recommend NIGHT enough.
Rating:  Summary: Night Review Review: This book, takes you oin an incredible journey through the life of one boy's life during the Halocaust. The boy, Elie explains his time in the concentration camps, set up during WWII, by Nazi Germany. This book gives very good and accurate detail about the life and the certain things that happened that is historically accurate. This book was a sad and very horrifying true story, which makes me really enjoy it. Since it really happened it makes you think about your own problems and when compared, nothing could possibly be worse. The problem with this book was that is was extremely short, I felt that it cokuld have benn longer, but since it is a true story maybe that is all that Elie could write about. I would make it longer if I could change anything about the book. Elie wrote this book to share his horrific events in his life that were absolutely grotest, he wanted the younger generation to be aware of what went on, so that it never ever happens again. The part that I remember most about this book was when his father died and he had no more tears left to cry for his own father. That is when you know this life was absolute hell.
Rating:  Summary: my review Review: The book Night was an excelent book to read about the jewish hollicost. It gives an insiders views on what went on during this time in history with the jews. The only thing I didn't like about the book was that Elie didn't tell us what happend after the hollicost ended. I wouldn't change the book because Elie was really there and he knows what happened. Elie wrote this book to let people know the truth. The most memorable part in the book was when the jews were released.
Rating:  Summary: starlightnight Review: I liked the fact that this book displayed good illustrations of what the holocuast was really like. The book was kinda of strung out i thought it could have been completed in a shorter period of time. If i could change anything about the book i would maybe focus on the actions of hitler more and show how he was directly involved in the killings. Ellies purpose for writing this book was for people to realize how bad it really was to be a jew in put in that situation, it described some real life events to show how crazy the holocaust really was.The part were they were killed for marching outta step, i really thought that was a little drastic, but it showed how much you had to focus just to keep your life.
Rating:  Summary: Awesome!!!!! Review: I loved this book, it was sooo good. I had never been really interested in the Holocaust before, or never even really knew how bad it was. But when I read this book I felt that I was part of the event myself. When I was reading this book, I felt sad for the people, I got happy when something good happened, I held my breathe in the suspensful parts, and I even cried at the end of the book. I really found this book very moving and heart touching. I recomend that everyone read this book at least once in their life, and I can guarantee that once you read the book for a first time, you will want to read it again and again. I am only 14 and I enjoyed the book, so I bet you will too.
Rating:  Summary: Captivating, but it has it faults Review: I found this book to be well written, but it lacked intensity in some places. I believe it could have been a little bit more dramatic in some areas, like the death of his father for example. I recommend picking up the book if you're interested in different accounts of the Holocaust. This one is the most unique I have seen. But overall, it was very intriguing. I found myself finishing it in a day. It's hard to believe that the author could fit five years of hell into so few pages. But I think he succeeds quite well.
Rating:  Summary: Haunting... Review: This is a book about survival; the strength of the human spirit; the depths of evil inherent in mankind; redemption; life. "Night" should be required reading in every school along with "The Diary of Anne Frank". It's a beautifully written, haunting tale that renews your faith in life and the questions. Life is not about the anwers, after all...it's about the questions. I also highly recommend Mr. Wiesel's memoirs, "All Rivers Run to the Sea" and "The Sea is Never Full". A master survivor, writer and storyteller.
Rating:  Summary: Beautiful storytelling of harrowing event Review: In a list of my six favorite books for "The Week" magazine, I wrote: "I was about the age of the teenage narrator when I first read Night. He witnessed the ravages of the Holocaust that claimed his family and left him to grapple with guilt and spiritual doubt. I still marvel over the beauty of the storytelling."
Rating:  Summary: Night Review: "He was still alive when i passed in front of him. His tongue was still red his eyes were not yet glazed" (Weisel,62). This quote from the book Night affected me, along with many other disturbing words.however i still enjoyed the book, and thought that he had a very good and realistic choice of words. in the rest of my paper i will go over imegery, poin tif view, and figurative language. Weisel used a lot of imegery in the book, for example"father father wake up they're trying to throw you out of the carrage..."(Weisel,94). in this quote Elie is trying to wake his father up because the rest of the men in the carrage think hes dead and want to throw him out of the carrage.i really liked his choice of imagery to help me feel what they're going through. Weisels book was from his past experiance in the Holocost. Point of veiw was used mostly through the whole book. "from the depths of the mirror, a courpse glazed back at me"(Weisel,109). This example was used by Weisel toward the end of the book when he was liberated. Here point of veiw was also a good example of figurative language. "Meir, Meir, my boy! Dont you recognize me I'm your father...you're hurting me...your killing you father"(Weisel,96). This use of figurative language was a conversation between father and son. this paints a picture in my mind about how the men would do anything for a little bit of food. Even if its killing their own father. I really liked the book Night and thought that Weisel was a very good author. i also liked how he never held anything back. he always explained details to their fullest. Weisels words seemed more real because he had actually experianced the Holocaust. there were 6.6 million jews that wer killed in the Holocaust and Elie happend to be one that did survive. the book Night is a 109 pagged memory from Elie Weisel that goes through his horrifiying experience in the Holocaust.
