Reflection Questions 152-156 on night.

152. Why do you think Elie Wiesel wrote this book?
I think Elie wrote this book to tell people about his experince during the holocaust. He wrote this book to show people what happened and how horrible life as for a jew in a concentration camp. He wrote this book to tell people about the Germans and how cruel they were. He might have wrote this tel people about the holocaust so that it never happens again.

153. Why do think he chose Night as the title?
I think he gave the book the title of night because nighttime is dark and bad things uaslly happen more at night. This book has horrible things in it and this was dark period of time.

154. How does Elie change as a result of his expeience in the concentration camps?
He is so skinny from malnuriousment. He toke care of his father and stayed near him but when he died Elie felt that nothing could bother im. He felt that he was free to take care of himself. Now after the camps he takes care of himself because in the camps it was all for one. When the prisonors were free the first thing they did was eat the food in the kitchen. He also didnt cry for his father when he died. He no longer prayed. He didnt feel anything when he saw someone die .

155. How does Elie finally come to terms with his ordeal?(What does he finally do?)
He doesnt remember his family anymore. He wants to take care of himself. He only thinks about himself now and no one else. He writes a book about his experinces.

156. Give examples of issues in Night that still arise today and what do you think should be done about genocide?
In India there is genocide happening. The muslims are being treated badly and going through genicide by the other religions in India. They are burning muslims in their houses with their families. They are putting muslims in camps and killing them. The reason why people dont like the muslims is because of religion and they think they killed 200 hindus on purpose because of their religion. I dont think we can do anything about genocide in the world but we can prevent it from happening here. We could vote for people that would help america into office. We could keep people from having more power than the president. If someone tried to start a genocide then we could arrest the leader and put them in jail for life and they are not allowed visitors. They wont have any way of communication to keep the genocide going so the people would not be able to do what happened in this book.
In Ethiopia the Anuak are going through genocide. The Ethiopian police are killing the Anuak people. The police are breaking down peoples doors and killing the family inside. They would tell them to run and shoot them. They would beat the men and boys in the street and then shoot them.
