In novel Night by Elie Wiesel many events happen that trigger a lot of emotion for me and probably most of you. At some points in the novel the dialogue between characters was so intense or serious it made me feel disturbed or worried. “And then one day all foreign Jews were expelled from Sighet. And Moshie the Beadle was a foreigner. Crammed into cattle cars by the Hungarian police, they cried silently.”(6). I took this quote from the beginning of the novel because it shows how early on in the novel it starts to get very serious. This quote also had emotion behind it. After reading it I felt worrisome and almost in shock. These families were being torn apart and sent all over Europe just because of they believed in? That was not okay. As I have started to read Night I noticed a few things about Elie’s language styles and the flow of the novel. Elie does not really use challenging words but more of challenging phrases. He uses a lot of language from the Jewish faith that can be confusing sometimes. The last thing I have is that I feel that he likes to use dialogue to display emotion or sometimes set the tone for the reader. I think that the dialogue aspect is a very unique style and something that can be challenging to write and read.

ReplyDeleteWill,
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job putting what you felt into the blog post. I could easily relate to many of the things you said. You also did a good job describing the author’s writing style. The only real error you made was confusing the author’s gender, but that can be easily fixed. Otherwise, it was very good.
