Night Characters

Night By Elie Wiesel


Page(32-47/120)

It’s been a slow read for me but I haven’t given up. Since the last time he and his father were taking to the camps, they stripped everyone of there names and given them basically numbers.
People had to refer everyone as a number. These numbers ever branded into the skin of these people. The people with Elie and his father did nothing but work. At times his father tried to reinsure he that his mother and sister were else where still alive and ok but deep down they knew the truth and it was that they were dead. These characters in this story isn’t fictional, it’s the real thing. The things you read in this book was events that has taken place in history. You have a chance of finding out what there life was like and what they went through. I would have to give them a lot of credit for being so strong. To everyone that was living through the holocaust. They went through hell and still came out strong. I don’t think I would be so strong and live on knowing that most of my family is dead. Do you think you could ever be as strong as Elie?

no i dont think i could be as strong as Elie but i could be strong about knowing that we lost a family member..... it may hurt for a lifetime but we get used to it eventually knowing theres no way back to life... i wish there was a way that everybody could live forever.

personally i dont think that i could be as strong because of the things that they had to endure were very harsh. There was so much pain for him not knowing whether or not his mother and sister were still alive. With all the pain they put people through i would not be strong because that kind of stuff wears on a person.

I thought reading war fiction was gonna be terrible, but after reading and getting to learn about the holocaust, i found it to be interesting. I dont think i could go on without my family or even be able to live one day in those camps. i give so much credit to everyone who made it out .
