hi kayla. I hope this will help you!
Explanation:
1. Before we even open a book, our minds begin to engage and to make assumptions. As you look at the cover of the book Night,
what images and emotions does the title evoke?
If I see the cover of the book, I can see how the protagonist is counting on an image of his suffering, being in a concentration camp, his desolation, fear. An image tells you everything.
What impression does the design on the cover make on you?
The cover design shows me dark moments of loneliness, sadness.
What mood is created?
It creates a depressed mood, anxiety.
2. Anyone who survived the experience of a concentration camp would undoubtedly have undergone a major transformation.
How is Eliezer transformed during his experience in Night?
•After the horrible things he's seen and experienced, he will never be the same. The once naive, faithful boy is changed into a man devoid of hope.
Cite at least two incidents that contribute to his transformation.
•He endures countless tortures and abuses - beatings, whippings, starvation, sickness - and the scenes described in the book not only profoundly influence Eliezer, but the reader as well.
• He never sees his mother and sisters again, and he loses his father.
In addition, choose one other character and describe how that character is transformed.
•Moishe, his Kabbalah instructor.
Warns him of the coming Nazi threat, Eliezer refuses to believe the old man. Moishe tells Eliezer that he has escaped the Nazis, who forced the foreign Jews of Sighet to dig their own graves before shooting them, but Eliezer can't imagine this could possibly be true.
3. What recurring images does Wiesel use in Night to make his ideas vivid?
In Night, Elie Wiesel uses imagery to describe the horrors of the Holocaust and allows the reader to comprehend the sights, sounds, touch, and even smells.
For example:
•Elie describes the harsh winter at the concentration camp using touch and feel imagery when he writes, "Winter had arrived.
•"The stones were so cold that touching them, we felt that our hands would remain stuck. But we got used to that too"
•Through the frosty windowpanes we could see flashes of red. Cannon shots broke the silence of night...There was whispering from one bunk to the other..."
4. Do you think other people can ever really understand what the author experienced in the concentration camp?
No one can understand the pain of the other.
How effectively do you feel Elie Wiesel communicated his experience?
For me, he described his experience as best as he could, because it is not easy to talk about something as tragic as the Holocaust.
What emotional responses did reading about his experiences provoke in you?
It made me see the damage that man does on innocent people. People who are not to blame for their religion, race, gender. No one can kill you for being different.
