Assignment 1 The Preface of //Night//
Reasons for Night The author of the novel //Night// Elie Wiesel had a handful of reasons for the writing of this novel a few of them are “giving meaning to my survival,” to prevent this from happening again and so not to give the enemy the last victory by keeping silent. When Elie Wiesel said giving meaning to his survival he was talking about showing there was a reason for his survival. Wiesel had traumatic experiences and he was proving to the world that he should have survived. Another main reason for Elie Wiesel writing this novel is he does not want the past to become the present. I believe what he means by this is that history repeats itself and the magnitude of this amount of suffering should never be endured. When Wiesel says not to give the enemy the last victory I believe that the last battle is the battle of time and our past. This refers to the Holocaust being forgotten and the atrocities done away with. Elie Wiesel had a number of reasons for writing his book many to horrific to describe**.**



Weisel Poem
Ovens Tall and ominous Burning, smelling and loud Like a trash heap smelly and like a lightning bolt with danger A death trap Firey Under a black sky

Found Poem
Elie Wiesel A thirteen-year-old boy He lived in sighet, Transylvania He was in constant denial His Kabbalist teacher Was Moishe the Beadle

Women to the left. Men to the right. These words were spoken And he never saw his mother or Tzipora again.

He stayed in Aushwitz for three weeks. He slept a lot And cared only for his food and family. He was eventually freed and his father did not survive.
