Reflection Questions 152-156

152. Why do you think Elie Wiesel wrote this book?

I think that Eli Wiesel wrote this book to tell the world his story about how horrible was life in the concentration camps and because he want the world to know that this was true and that it did happen to him and to many Innocent people that were killed in this camps. I also think he wrote this book to express his feelings and to tell people that this don't have to happen again.



153.Why do you think he chose Night as its title?

I think that Elie Wiesel chose Night as its title because that the way he feel that all this experience was like a nightmares and because the night means darkness and unexpected things could happen in the night and in the concentration camps. I also think that this experience make him a sad person that after all he has experience he don't see life like a wonderful place no more instead he see it like the Night.

154.How does Elie change as a result of his experiences in the concentration camps?

Elie change a lot a and in many ways as a result of his experiences in the concentration camps because after all he pass through change him and make him a mad person, they killed his soul and feelings. After all he had see his mom, sister,dad and many other persons that he saw died.



155.How does Elie finally come to terms with his ordeal?(What does he finally do)

He finally come to terms with his ordeal because he wrote this book that make him express his feelings and let go some of his pain by writing this book. I think that this is a good way to express your feelings, when you don't now what to do and how to act after all he has seem and experience in the concentration camps were all his family was killed. This is every painful because your family are the only persons in the world that will always be with you and they will always protect you.

156.Give examples of issues in Night that still arise today and what do you think should be done about genocide?
In the book NIGHT Elie and his family and many other type of person were genocide because of their sexuality, religion, believes, race and many more. Today genocide it still exist and many people are being killed too. For example in Cuba Castro is the president of Cuba and he knows about genocide and that this is happening in his country and he don't even care. This persons are being killed, they have serious bodily and mental harm, they are also don't let women to give birth and if they are they force them to abort. They use eight stages of genocide, the first one is classification, symbolization, dehumanization, organization, polarization, preparation, extermination and finally Denial.

Other example of Genocide is happening is in South Africa were Black African are killing White African because of racism. This also happen in the book Night were the Germans were putting Germans in the concentration camps because they didn't think like them or because they didn't like Hitler as their leader.

In Vietnam the U.S.A troops are being killed and the people that help them also get killed because they think their there enemies and they killed them with poison gas and many other things. This also happen in the book Night were the prisoners were killed with poison gas and many more horrible ways.

In Colombia people are scared of what is happening an some decide to abandon their home, land and work because they are scared to get killed by the rebels. The president of Colombia Alvaro Uribe accused Hugo Chavez the president of Venezuela to help the guerrillas. In the book Night Hitler was the main leaders of the Nazi and its collaborators and they all plan to killed the Jews and other people.

In Morocco, Spain Sahrawi people are being torture, kidnapping , and disappear. Morocco is accused of genocide because many of the Saharawis are reported missing. This is also related to the book Night because many of the people that were put in the concentration camps were not even given the opportunity to see if they were good or bad people.
