The novel Night in many ways pulls on your heart strings. It’s very upsetting to read the reality that was for a Jewish person everyday in Europe, during the 1940s. The Germans didn’t even acknowledge that they were treating the human-beings like less of an individual. “‘There are eighty of you in the car,’ the German officer added. ‘If anyone goes missing, you will all be shot, like dogs’” (24). It is terrible that deep down they knew how they were treating them and didn’t care. Each prisoner had a major struggle just surviving. The leaders didn’t want people that were incapable of labor, so they would have jobs for each of them. The people that could handle it were worked to the bone. “Take care of your son. He is very weak, very dehydrated. Take care of yourselves, you must avoid selection. Eat! Anything, anytime. Eat all you can. The weak don’t last very long around here . . .” (45). They were constantly starving, thirsty, and full of fatigue. They ate what they could, but sometimes that wasn’t enough. The author Elie Wiesel wrote about how important family was and that families shouldn’t be separated from each other. Many times he compared the obstacles he went over with symbols. Elie Wiesel’s writing style is with concise short sentences that don’t go overboard with details. He tells just enough, without overwhelming the reader. He is choppy, but everything seems to flow nicely. He cohesively balanced the story between the two rhythms.
