"NIGHT. No one was praying for the night to pass quickly. The
stars were but sparks of the immense conflagration that was consuming us. Were this conflagration to be extinguished one day, nothing would be left in the sky but extinct stars and unseeing eyes" (Wiesel 21).

# data[].attributes.body
The meaning of the word changes as worse and worse events unfold and the days only bring more questions. Sleeping wasn't a peaceful act anymore, it only brings a time to lay and think about what horrible things could occur in the next ew hours.

" There was joy, yes, joy. People must have thought there could be no greater torment in God's hell than that of being stranded here, on the sidewalk, among the bundles, in the middle of the street under a blazing sun"(Wiesel 16).

" No one prayed, so that the night would pass quickly. The stars were only sparks of the fire which devoured us. Should that fire die out one day, there would be nothing left in the sky but dead stars, dead eyes."

"The night before, we had sat down to the traditional Friday
night meal. We had said the customary blessings over the bread
and the wine and swallowed the food in silence. We sensed that

"We remained sitting in the middle of the street, like the others two days earlier. The same hellish sun. The same thirst" (Wiesel 19).

The early use of the word night was just another term for a time to sleep, and the community gave it no second thoughts. It was only until the deportation and oppression started did the word gain new meanings.

Early on in the book, he positively describes the day, he says "Days went by... life was normal again. A calm, reassuring wind blew through our homes" (Wiesel 6). Elie was happy, so was everyone in Sighet, the days were nice but this reassuring feeling does not last long.

# data[].attributes.body
In Chapter one we see the word Day drastically change its meaning. When Elie first introduces  the word "Day" with surrounding words he create a positive and safe atmosphere. But after the Germans took control and forced all Jews out of Sighet, we see Elie negatively surround "Day". Now instead of surrounding the word positively he describes the sun as hellish and a sense of thirst. Instead of "Day" symbolizing happiness and pleasure he describes it as hell and a sense of unpleasantness.

Elie Wiesel has a deeper meaning of the word "Day". He uses it  as a symbol and makes it stand for torture, hell and thirst towards the end of the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Wiesel is using this tragic moment in time to symbol the slow motion of time. How the community lives in a sense of despair awaiting the virtually unknown and night is a representation of another unknown and terrifying future.

Night

I feel as if the word Night is a symbol of how the Night can be very beautiful and calming, is supposed a happy occasion, but how the Night is also dark and dangerous, and you can't see much in it.

# data[].attributes.body
The word of night is used several times throughout this, and it's very interesting for how it is used. It is seeming to show and suggest how that this time, Night, should be a joyous occasion , but is somber and quiet, and everyone is restless and unsure of what is going to happen.

Reading the words Night in a stoic fashion next to a beginning paragraph causes a sense of grief or agony in the reader and sort of represents a foreshadowing of kind. The straight wording of night can lead the audeince to suspect bad things are approaching and will therefore have it's symbol of fear.

It gives a sense of that that these people have been robbed of something, considering this was supposed to be a time of happiness and excitement, but it only held dread.

I think that they suggest that the worse is yet to come. They have just gotten a taste of what they think is hell.

# data[].attributes.body
It tells the reader that their perseverance is the only thing they can rely on. Nobody is there to save them but their own community.

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning of the book, the evening or Night was time to be with family, to love and hold each other, a time of celebration. Now, it's a time of danger and darkness, since the Germans came during the Night, and they never know what dangers the night can now hold. They are all scared to fall asleep and wake up the next day

# data[].attributes.body
Depending on the circumstance and the situation, the meaning can be either a good feeling that has been developed or a bad one showing the viscous tone the author is trying to show his readers.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like he uses this word as a symbol of unshed hope, it was the only thing that prevented them from a harsh reality that was coming upon them. As well as it foreshadowing the harsh things they would have to endure sooner than later.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they suggest the harsh reality that is coming, that the night is the last time they can feel at peace with themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
The word gives a sense of what is yet to come. It is a sort of saddening feeling, because you know that something bad will happen soon.

# data[].attributes.body
This meaning changes throughout the novel in several ways. The night can be a peaceful moment, where there are no worries of what is to come. However, it is also a mysterious of one of not knowing what might happen once they wake up.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that Wiesel was trying to say that there is no way possible that what they just endured could be any worse than what is to come.

Wiesel uses Night as a symbol of the dark, apprehensive of the daylight.This word contrasts with the light in the day and the jews' hope.

# data[].attributes.body
In this part of the novel the Jews are still in the ghetto, hoping that the bad news isn't their reality. The word Night in the beginning of the novel relates to the dreadfulness the the Jews are feeling and the awful fate awaiting them in the day.

# data[].attributes.body
The word "Night" impacts the reader by allowing them to realize the harshness and intensity the Jews are feeling as they are awaiting for their fate.

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout the novel, I think the meaning of night will change based on the events. However, the underlying meaning will remain the same. The underlying meaning of Night is darkness. This can pertain to darkness in life, soul, body of all those who experienced suffering because of the Nazis. Night can also symbolize death of childhood, innocence, lives, or faith. As the story unfolds the way night is interpreted will change, but as stated prior, the underlying meaning of darkness will remain the same.

"NIGHT. No one was praying for the night to pass quickly. The stars were but sparks of the immense conflagration that was con- suming us. Were this conflagration to be extinguished one day, nothing would be left in the sky but extinct stars and unseeing eyes" (Wiesel 21).

# data[].attributes.body
No one was praying for the night to pass quickly. The stars were but sparks of the immense conflagration that was consuming us. Wiesel uses the simple word night to contrast with the light of day and the positive hope of the people.  Night is dark, fearful, apprehensive of the arrival of daylight.  No one wants the day to arrive to find out their fate.

# data[].attributes.body
These words suggest that there is no hope for anyone. The word Night in the beginning of the book already puts a dark tone and depressing tone to the novel.

# data[].attributes.body
The word "Night" impacts the readers by giving them a bad feeling about what could happen later on in the book. This gives a readers fear almost as the night is a symbol for fear.

# data[].attributes.body
The meaning of Night changes as the story unfolds by night time not being their "safe place". They dread the morning that comes after. Although they need the strength from their sleep to continue the next day. But they would lay and think about the horrible thing that would happen daily to them.

Night suggests the darkness and danger that is upon the Jews or coming to the Jews.

Wiesel is using night as a symbol that represents despair, sadness, and a lack of hope.

Night early on in the book is just has a normal meaning, the old are asleep the children head home to sleep.

# data[].attributes.body
It foreshadows that something bad is coming and that the worst has yet to come.

The meaning of Night at the start of the book was a time when family spent their time together, it was clam and peaceful. Though later on in the book it symbolizes fear and hopelessness.

Night, Page 21

# data[].attributes.body
Wiesel is using what came after the night as a symbol of the unknown terror the Jews were running blindly into. No one prayed for the night to end because that seemed to be the only time they were not bossed around by the Germans. There was not much to do but move on, or accept the fate that tomorrow held, which is why Wiesel describes them as 'in the beds of those who moved on'.

# data[].attributes.body
These words suggest that things are about to get a lot worse. Though most were still optimistic, others were already starting to loose hope. The Jews still greatly feared what was in store for them, despite the tough exterior shells they armed themselves with. I also remember you saying how Hitler used to give his speeches at night. I believe that the Jew's only 'safe haven' is about to be deprived from them once Hitler makes his appearance.

# data[].attributes.body
The suspense this sense of impending doom has on the readers is extremely effective. Due to how most do not know the exact way the Holocaust began, but rather only the ending, the suspense is built through the series of events that lead up to the main disaster. These little details are like the behind the scene exclusives. It helps immerse the reader further into the story.

Night symbolizes fear, danger and hopelessness, but later it symbolizes the Jews safe place/time. Night is the only time the Jews do not have to experience horrible things. For the Jews, night is a time to relax, rest and reflect on yourself.

It gives the reader a sense of hopelessness.

Night has different meanings. I think it can be positive if they see it as a time for peace or sadness because they know they have to wakeup for another horrible day.

Wiesel uses the word night to symbolize a moment of peace before facing danger.

In the early pages of the book, these words suggest that danger and suffering is coming soon, and they are trying to hold on to their last bit of hope.

They foreshadow that bad events are coming, and create a feeling of apprehension for the reader.

As the book progressed, night changed from symbolizing peace and safety to symbolizing despair and danger.

" NIGHT. No one was praying for the night to pass quickly. The stars were but sparks of the immense conflagration that was consuming us" (Wiesel 21).

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning of the book, the word "night" is simply the term for when the skies grow dark and it is time for sleep. Progressing throughout the chapter, the night becomes a safe haven, a protective blanket, a way for the community to hide from the soldiers.

This word "night" is used as as a symbol of tranquility, like the calm before the storm. It is a momentary lapse of peace, before people are taken from their homes, before families are torn apart, before the killing starts.

# data[].attributes.body
The reader gains a better understanding of just how important the night was, and just how dangerous the day became as the night was lifted. The night and day represent safety (though temporary) and danger.

"The stars were but sparks of the immense conflagration that was consuming us"(Wiesel 21)

# data[].attributes.body
Wiesel's use of the word 'conflagration' implies that the immensity or some other quality of the stars overwhelmed their observers.

# data[].attributes.body
Prior to the Jew's deportation from Transylvania, the word 'night' had a more comforting, blanketing connotation.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel comforted by this passage. I am reminded of a trip I once took to the grand canyon, when the stars were visible. Observing them made me feel minuscule and unimportant while simultaneously safe and comforted by my insignificance.

As the story unfolds, the concept of night is associated with danger and deception.

When Wiesel relates his current emotions and sadness, he conveys it through the night stars. He symbolizes himself feeling helpless or hopeless.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that these words suggest a comparing and contrasting tone between day and night. Day has a mysterious tone while night is as if danger and pain is on its way.

# data[].attributes.body
The impact it gives to the reader is an emotional connection to the novel. It signifies the pain those went through and the horrid image that comes to mind when reading.

# data[].attributes.body
The meaning can begin to change when day is known as dangerous and fearful whilst all that ends at night.

"A sunny spring, people scrolled seemingly carefree through the crowded streets. They exchanged careful greeting. Children played games, rolling hazelnuts on the sidewalks" (Wiesel 12).

# data[].attributes.body
Wiesel might be using the word "day" as a symbol of the effects that were implemented on the Jews during this time. Each day was a new restriction or a change that they faced.

# data[].attributes.body
I think these words suggest that the lack of empathy and anger towards the Jews constantly changed their lives and their perspectives.

# data[].attributes.body
Wiesel's writing impacts the readers because we can connect to the text and the people in his book. As we go along we begin to better understand the characters. When their days are no longer sunny and enjoyable, we feel even more sadden that they had to go through these events.

# data[].attributes.body
The meaning of "day" changes as the story unfolds from sunny and enjoyable to a depressing day of torture and work load. Wiesel uses day and night to illustrate to the audience the changes and actions enforced on the Jews in their community. Within weeks there days and night completely shifted.

# data[].attributes.body
i feel like his choice in words are very unique and for the reader you can analyze what he means because of the ways the quotes are put together to get across this whole idea that things will only get harder and harder throughout the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Wiesel might use night as a symbol because he uses night to describe hopelessness and despair. While the Jews are in the car they look out the window to try to find hope but all they see is night, which symbolizes their pain and suffering in the time to come

Night pg.24

These words suggest that the Jews situation was hopeless and terrible and it was at this time that most of the Jews lost hope that their situation might get better.
