Rating:  Summary: Night(They made me read it too) Review: The book "Night" I thought was a good book. It talks about what the Jews went through during the war. It talked about the labor and things the had to do in order to stay alive. Some of the Jews gave up believing in god. It talked about when the Jews were forced from camp to camp. The long runs that they had to endore to stay alive.
Rating:  Summary: Night (They made me read it) Review: Our class just finished the book Night by Elie Wiesel. I though that it was a very interesting book. It was great in detail. I felt bad for Elizer the main character . Him and his father were rally close during the book and they would leave each other. The setting of this book takes place during World war 2 when the Nazis were very powerfull. Him and his family went threw some bad times at the camp. They face alot of different and very unusual things during there time in the camp. They are pretty much starved to death and they are only allowed to eat soup and bead and have to run 40-50 miles to go from camp to camp. I really had sympathy for Elie and his family
Rating:  Summary: School Review(They made me do it) Review: My Class just finished reading the book Night by Elie Wiesle . The main charcter of the book is Elizer he was a great beliver in the Jewish beliefs. Him and his family lived in a small town that had Jews and German Citizens and other ethnic groups. The time this book was set in was World War two when then Nazi's were in power. Elizer and his famiily were forced out of their home and moved to a different area. Eventually all the Jews are moved into concentration camps . Elizer is seperated from his mother and sisters. Him and his father are sent to the same camps and they face many different and unusual things that would cause any man to go insane. This book was filled with terror and showed me what it was really like for the Jews during World War two. From what this book has shown me I feel deep sympathy for the surviors of the horror that they faced and the loses of their families.
Rating:  Summary: Review of Night Review: Our class just finished the book Night. The main charachter Elizer Wiesel also the author kept us on the edge of our seats. It is a good book to read, because it tells about the beliefs of the Jewish people. Plus the kind of torture that they had to go through during the war. Eliezer ends up being the only person in his family to survive. His dad would of made it but he gave up at the end of it. The Jewish people had no help from anybody and they had to leave their homes and possessions and get forced to live in Ghettos. They were also social rejects from their towns. Elizer and his father were beaten and treated horrible during the Holocaust. The story is a good book and if u like reading it is recomended
Rating:  Summary: The Review of Night Review: The book that I have currently finished reading is NIGHT. It is by Elie Wiesel. This book explains the hardships of the Jews and how people of then and today can get through anything. Night was very insightful. This is also why I liked this book. The main character of this book is a young boy, about15, named Maimonides who meets a friendly neighbor called Moshe the Beadle. He always came up with little theories and poems about life. Every day they would pray and have complex conversations, just about everything. Until one day the Nazis took Moshe the Beadle away because he was a foreign Jew. Maimonides get really depressed and started praying less. Then one evening Moshe the Beadle comes back, and tries to wear all of the other Jews about the Nazis, but no one believes him. They were all really confidence with themselves. All of the Jews refuse to move. Everyone claimed to have to go of a life to just throw it always on some liar. Until one day each Jew was called out side. Now all of them wish that they had listened to Moshe the Beadle.
Rating:  Summary: Night Review: Survival, the book Night by Elie Wiesel. This is a good book for someone who likes to read about, adventure, survival, and biography. I choose theses topics because; they have to do with survival and adventure. For mistiest the main character Elizer ran into a lot of problems. He just kept getting caught doing and seeing things, so they moved him to a different camp, because of the last thing he did. He saw some guards in an alley betting a man to a bloody pulp, and then they saw Elizer watching what they were doing to that poor man in the alley. They started to chase after him and they caught him. Then sense he saw that they had to transverse him to a different camp so he couldn't tell any one about what they were doing. That is a reason I like the book is of the trouble Elizer was getting in. The main character Elizer had a hard time surviving at this new camp. The other good part at the camp is it had to do with survival, it's when Elizer got thrown in a pit with dead people and he couldn't breathe, Dead bodies still known place to breathe, He's running out of Air will he die! I think that part kept me on the edge of my chair. I choose these to parts because; they have the same kind of situation. Like when the main character is try to help his dad to March and trying to keep his dad alive. In a part of the book Elizer is trying to help by giving him his ration for him to eat. Now they are split into different groups so his dad may not live. But they got to get back together when they had to do the 3 mile jog; they were so tired when they got done with that jog they almost died. This book is a pretty good book, think if you like what you just read you should think about getting this book to read. This is a good book for someone that likes adventure, survival, and a biography. I think this is a good book and out of 5 stars I give it 3.5, because in some parts it gets boring. But it is a good book, also because the guy that wrote it got to go through it and lives to tell about it later in life.
Rating:  Summary: Night: The review Review: Is this book worth the money and time? This is probably the question you're asking yourself right now. I will give you my insight on the book to assist your decision. This is a descriptive book to remind the world of the true horrors of the holocaust. Plot is easily the strongest and most prominent feature in this small autobiography. For example, choosing the time period of the holocaust would give an interesting plot with a strong backbone to any story. This book tells the tale of a 15 year old boy, surviving this madness and despair, through his eyes. Anyone can take this story in as such raw and descriptive truth. Strangely, this book is not so in depth that it carries on. In fact, it is only 110 pages. In these 110 pages is an amazing but believable plot to a realistic, true story. It becomes very interesting by the 50th page or so and by that time it acquires its dark and grim mood. These traits make the plot especially strong in this story and therefore provide a great setup for the other elements of the book. Characters are strange in this story, the way he displays them, but their integration with the plot is very well done. For example, characters in this book are plentiful. Unfortunately, only two of them remain constant throughout the book, Eliezer and his father. Other characters come and go but Eliezer and his father are the only ones who are well-developed and drawn out. This depicts a sense of reality to the story. You can almost feel Elie remembering the glimpses of people in his memory and creating them as characters as he writes. Although, these characters encounter many challenges throughout the book, it is still done very well because of the challenge's patterns and harsh examples. Descriptive challenges the bend and break the faith of young Eliezer, also surrounds the plot and supports its mood. From about page 30 to the end, there are conflicts they face like hunger, punishment, thirst, selections, and near death on many occasions. The two main characters that are well-developed mingle and intertwine well with the plot's hardships. As a summary and to conclude, the book opened up a descriptive and realistic view to these dangerous times. I learned a lot from this book and because it was written so well I think it deserves more attention and reward. The beginning was a bit boring but it set the tone, pace, and plot. I would certainly recommend this book to any young adult or older.
Rating:  Summary: NIGHT Review: Have you ever been in a concentration camp? If you haven't been, reading this book is the closest you will come. The book Night , written by Ellie Wiesel is both informative and suspenseful. In this book I found the characters to be very strong and resilient people. They faced many problems with strength and courage. Some very suspenseful and unbelievable scenes are described in gruesome detail, which helped me understand the struggles of the characters much better. Elizer and his father, who are the main characters, tell of their story in various concentration camps. Although they were separated from their families and virtually alone, far worse things were to be endured. "I had felt death" (Wiesel, 82). This quote from Elizer shows that each and everyday the occupants in the concentration camp battled to stay alive. At this point in the story, I realized the fear and brutality that the Jewish people encountered. Some could take the hardships and some could not. Although, Elizers father loved Elizer dearly, there were several times when he wanted to rid himself of all of the pain and suffering he was forced to endure. As Elizers father muttered the words " I can't go on" (Wiesel, 100) I could not imagine what was going through Elizers head. Sadness, anger, pain, despair? As I read those words I felt nothing but compassion for each and every person who had to go through such an awful experience. I think the characters in this story really help enhance the story. This book was heartbreaking and at the same time made you smile through the course of the book. It's the best book of its kind that I have read so far. It made me feel like I was feeling the pain, sadness, fear, and hunger right along with Elizer and his father. This story focuses on every aspect of the camps. However, some stuck in my mind more than others. "We were tormented with hunger" (Weisel, 39) the struggle of starvation contributed to a large portion of the plot in this story. When Elizer sacrificed his own food ration to give to his ill father, he became my favorite character. Because his ability to block out his own needs and be completely unselfish was inspiring to me. Being tormented by hunger is a hard concept to grasp for people of today. Night did a great job of weaving that into the plot. Starvation was a large portion of the story because of the number of people that perished because of lack of food. In fact, thousands, if not more, Jewish people died while being held in concentration camps. I had a very hard time relating to Night. I could not imagine being killed because of the color of my hair, or simply because of something I believe in. Although this is a sad and horrific reality that theses events happened in our past, I would recommend anyone above the age of 14 and up to read this book. It can, and will, prevent us from making these same mistakes in our future. Night was a very real, true, and eye-opening book. It was suspenseful, action packed, and informative. I thought this book was well written and very detailed. It shows the true struggle of two people's journey through the concentration camps and their battles to stay alive. It's a great book!
Rating:  Summary: The Dark Years Review: "My father was my only reason for living." For me right now there are so many reasons for me to live. Before i read the book i wouldn't have known how he could have lost so much hope and faith, but once i became aware of how he lost so much faith and will to survive. A ggod example of irony in this book is in the beginning of the book when thew germansmove move into the jews houses. The jews thought that the Germans would be nice to them, but then they began to be meab to them and began to put barricades on there houses and take their valuable posessions. Another good example of irony is when Elie and his Father are walking towards the fire pit that the people are burning in , but about two steps before they got to the pit they changed directions and didn't have to go into the pit. "The soup tasted like carcuses." If i had soup to eat every day im sure i grow to love it. If that was all we had to eat though i'm sure it would grow old very soon. I would love to eat more than just soup every day too. In summary of this book night, I think that this book was a very good one. It kind of makes the reader sad when he reads the book though. It makes us feel lucky to live in the years we do now. If i were a Jew in those days i dont know if i could have made it through all of the pain they had to go through. If i were seperrated From my mom i would have been too sad to go on.
Rating:  Summary: Painful memories Review: "A-7713". I don't know what I would do if my name was changed to a number. I think that it surely would have been weird to be addressed as a number because I would feel like I didn't mean anything, sort of like being treated like I was a dog. in the book Night there were a lot of emotional and sad things that occurred throughout the story. There was also a lot of violence and hatred thrown at the jewish people during the Holocaust. I think that the book Night is very educational for kids these days because it teaches us a lot about what went on during the Holocaust. "It gave me a good picture on how badly the jews were treated, and for what? Because of their religion they were involved in and the beliefs that they had." In my opinion I think that the Germans during the Holocaust, were not very nice people, and I don't know how any civilized humn being could burn another person or watch another starve, doing nothing about it. I also think that if most of the jews wouldn't have stayed together and kept little faith that they had in the lord, the Germans and the concentration camps would have got the best of them. "From time to time I would dream of a drop of soup, of an extra ration of soup.......". This was merely one of Elie's thoughts that evolved in his head, practically throughout the Holocaust. The jews were starved, beaten, and harrassed for everything that they had during the Holocaust. They had nothing and would have nothing all through the years of the holocaust. My sorrow goes out to all the jews that survived or that were killed by the Germans.
