Recommended: Night by elie wiesel report

The book Night by Elie Wiesel was one of the most impactive books that I have ever read. Not only mentally impacting, but a very impactive emotional story. This story also taught me many overwhelming lessons such as to never give up, always have hope, and to keep your faith. In the book, after all that Elie had gone through with being separated from his mom and sister, having to go through painful trials, to then losing his father in the end, Elie had never given up. The lesson of never giving up was very prominent during this book. Throughout times in this book, Elie just wanted to disappear and go home, but it took great strength for him to persevere the trials and get to the place where he was to now. The second and very important lesson

    Wiesel’s community at the beginning of the story is a little town in Transylvania where the Jews of Sighet are living. It’s called “The Jewish Community of Sighet”. This is where he spent his childhood. By day he studied Talmud and at night he ran to the synagogue to shed tears over the destruction of the Temple. His world is a place where Jews can live and practice Judaism. As a young boy who is thirteen at the beginning of the story, I am very impressed with his maturity. For someone who is so young at the time he is very observant of his surroundings and is very good at reading people. In the beginning he meets Moishe the Beadle. Moishe is someone who can do many different types of work but he isn’t considered qualified at any of those jobs in a Hasidic house of prayer (shtibl).

    Night by Elie Wiesel is a very sad book. The struggle that Eliezer endured is similar to one that we all face. Eliezer’s was during the holocaust. Ours can be during any period of life. If we set our priorities in our hearts, nothing can change them except ourselves. Night is a prime example of this inner struggle and the backwards progress that is possible with Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. It teaches that the mind truly is “over all.” As Frankl wrote, “Man’s inner strength may raise him above his outward fate,” no matter what the circumstance.
