Reflection Questions 152-156

Why do you think Elie Wiesel wrote this book?
I think Elie Wiesel wrote this book so he can teach us how it was back in the old days and if it ever happens again we would know how to approach it and also he could be telling us this so that we realize that the way were living life now we got it easy and it is not nothing compared to the old days.

Why do you think he chose Night as its title
I think he chose night as the title because as the holocaust was going on he didn't really have any life or time to explore life and also that another reason is that he saw the same thing everyday and he saw black because he didn't see the real world.

How Does Elie change as a result of his experiences in the concentration camp
I think that he changed by when he first got there he was all scared and he saw everything going on and he couldn't believe it and as he experienced when he started seeing them do stuff its like it doesn't matter because he already used to it.

How Does Elie finally come to terms with is ordeal?
Elie comes to ordeal with his experience by teaching it to other people and let them know what happen and to prevent it form happening again and also i think he overlooked his past and started his life off fresh and also i think something like this is hard to put in the past.do you think

Give examples of issues in night that still arise today and what do you think should be done about genocide?
One example of genocide that kind of relates to night is that in south africa young african american people are killing the whites for no reason and i can compare that to the book night becuase the nazi's are killing the jews for no reason and they killed half of the jews and kept there hair and used it to make mattresses not only that they used there bones and put them in the oven and made soil for plant.And i dont think that is fair. Finally i would say that people shouldnt be jugded by the color of there skin.
Another act of genocide that relates to night is that In Sudam at least 250,000 more men,women, and children have died since the Bush Administration.Using the Janjaweed Militia, Sudan's regime has conducted a systemic campaign to kill and drive out Darfur's ethnic Massalit, Fur, and Zhagawa peoples. They attack towns, villages, and refugee camps.They actually kill the men and boys,raped women and girls, and poison the wells. Their goal is to replace these African peoples with Arab people with Arab herders. Another example would be China's "one-child" policy since they tend to keep the boys and men and kill most of the girls; a baby girl was found in the gutter and people just walked by as if it was something normal.Another example would be in Chad, militia brutally attacked villages,raped women and girls, killed the babies. and this relates to night becuase they used to hang and kill people and kill the babys when they used to cry.
Another act of genocide that is happening that kind of reflects with night is that in mexico in juarez. they been killing women because they work and because they want to become students. i think that relates to night because they killed people that just wanted to become good people and wanted to go good but they werent given that oppurtunity its just that the nazi"s kept killing them.
