Night, Page 3

# data[].attributes.body
"By day I studied Talmud and by night I would run to the synagogue to weep over the destruction of the Temple" (Wiesel 3).

# data[].attributes.body
He was referring to the Roman destruction of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD. The destruction of the temple symbolizes what will happen to the Jews in the Holocaust; just like the Jews in 70 AD they will be cast into a dark night.

# data[].attributes.body
The narrator reads about the destruction of the temple at night, which suggests a dark and scary time. Wiesel then uses night as a symbol for all that will go wrong for the Jews: their temples will be destroyed and they will be killed, just as the Romans did.

# data[].attributes.body
Night is a dark and scary time. Human rely heavily on sight and at night we are almost defenseless. Readers will feel the fear humans often feel at night, when there are monsters about. The Nazis are the monsters and Wiesel succeeds in making the reader scared of them as night and all its terrors befall the Jews in the Wiesel's memoir.

At the beginning, the narrator is reading about something that happened more than a thousand years ago. He is safe and secure in his village, far from threats. As the story progresses, the Beadle returns with a story of mass murder, news comes of anti-Semitism in Hungary, and attacks on Jews. Then the news grows worse, the Nazis arrive and the lives of the Jews in Hungary get progressively worse. The night, which was used as a symbol early in the story, now has come to pass in all its terrors.

day, pg 12

# data[].attributes.body
"A sunny spring day, people
strolled seemingly carefree through the crowded streets" (Wiesel 7).

# data[].attributes.body
Wiesel could be using this word as a symbol to show carefreeness, and how easy times were. It could be used too depict the difference between the times before the camps, and after, showing that during the day, there was nothing scary or bad happening.

# data[].attributes.body
These words suggest that before there was occurrences to worry about, people in the town lived happily, and without extreme worry. They were living in the "day" part of their life, the part that they were able to enjoy.

# data[].attributes.body
This impacts the reader because it shows that times were normal, and things like the Holocaust were mere ideas that could never happen. People didn't live in fear of it, and were able to go about their lives, happy and normal.

Their meaning changes as the days in the Jewish people's lives became meaningless, and they weren't able to be happy and live their best lives. They became subject to horrible tortures, to the night part of their lives.

"we had spent the day without food. But we were not really hungry.

We were exhausted." (Wiesel 17)

# data[].attributes.body
their day had merged to night. So much happened in such little time that there was no time to notice that their day had basically became night.

# data[].attributes.body
This suggests that the jews in the truck are somewhat aware of what is to come and by merging day and night shows this shift in mentality

This impacts the reader as a way to get ready to what is yet to come. Also is changes how the reader perceives the characters and what is yet to come.

This meaning changes that in the beginning of the book day and night were separate while as the book goes on their separation becomes meaningless and hard to define

Both day and night are mentioned on Page 12.

Elie describes the day before the transfers begin, “A sunny spring day, people strolled seemingly carefree through the streets...Night fell...Despite the growing darkness, I could see my father turn pale” (Wiesel 12).

# data[].attributes.body
Wiesel uses the image of night falling to foreshadow the misery and pain that the Jews are going to face.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that night will continue to be a symbol of suffering and fear throughout the novel, based on the way it has been used so far.

# data[].attributes.body
Wiesel’s description of the day while the sun is out is one of the most cheerful passages in the story so far, but when night falls, almost immediately the tone shifts, from calm and happy to chilling and anxious. The reader begins to associate night with fear as the memoir goes on.

# data[].attributes.body
The symbol of night grows more ominous as the story progresses. In the beginning of the memoir, when he was still in Sighet, Elie wasn’t afraid of the night. By the end of Chapter 2, when the Jews are being forced out of their homes in cattle cars, nighttime looms, and develops into a symbol for fear and sorrow.

Day and Night, Page 8

# data[].attributes.body
"I continued to devote myself to my studies, Talmud during the day and Kabbalah at night"(Wiesel 8).

# data[].attributes.body
Wiesel is using the image of day to show how he devotes his mornings/afternoons to Talmud, and the image of night to show how he devotes himself at nights to Kabbalah. Wiesel is a very religious person and uses the symbol of prayer and studies to practice his religion.

# data[].attributes.body
I think these words suggest that Jews spend their days and nights believing in god and praying for safety, even while going though these tragic events. They are praying for the positives and survival.

# data[].attributes.body
This impacts readers by giving them hope as well to show miracles do really happen. It teaches the readers not to live in fear and to believe.

# data[].attributes.body
As the story unfolds the meaning changes because people start to lose hope after witnessing all of these traumatizing events.This will lead people to question faith and whether or not they were actually being protected. There were so many hopeless jews that were bring tortured and murdered unnecessarily.

Midnight, Page 28

"In front of us, those flames. In the air, the smell of burning
flesh. It must have been around midnight" (Wiesel 28).

# data[].attributes.body
Wiesel uses the word midnight as tragic things happen around him, showing that the symbol of night paints a dark, fearful image.

# data[].attributes.body
These words suggest the oncoming downfall and onslaught of the Sighet Jews, and they tell us that the suffering will not cease for a long time.

# data[].attributes.body
This symbolism makes readers view night as a time full of fear, sadness and desperation. This makes the reader’s mood change as night is mentioned.

The meaning of night changes as the events surrounding the Jews change. Sometimes they become darker, and people lose hope, but eventually, even when the worst is over with, I think night will act as a reminder of what was lost.

“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
He shows a lack of hope as he describes the sky as a continuation of his suffering. He also uses the stars to symbolize the suffrage of his people, and says if it were to be extinguished he would lose all faith.

# data[].attributes.body
These words show he is losing faith in everything that may have showed him hope before.

# data[].attributes.body
This shows the reader how at times it is hard to stay hopeful in times of suffering.

The meaning changes as the circumstances of the Jews change. In this example Elie is losing hope, yet sometimes he regains his faith and the meaning will change.

"On the third night, as we were sleeping, some of us sitting,
huddled against each other, some of us standing, a piercing cry
broke the silence:
'Fire! I see a fire! I see a fire!'"(Wiesel 24"

# data[].attributes.body
He has Mrs. Schächter scream out at night. I think night resembles distress and fear while day represents hope and optimism.

# data[].attributes.body
These words show that Jews will experience fear and distress soon.

¨The night seemed endless. By daybreak, Mrs. Schächter hadsettled down. Crouching in her corner, her blank gaze fixed onsome faraway place, she no longer saw us¨(Wiesel 26).

Their meaning changed as the circumstances and the environment of the Jewish community changed. They went from being happy and functional as a whole in their small town to being forced to leave their homes and go to places where they were forced to work.

# data[].attributes.body
Wiesel is using the word midnight as a symbol of fear and the burning fire that they experienced at night. Before this part in the book their was also foreshadowing of the fire that was to come for Ms. Schachter was always screaming about a  fire at night time. They were also more pessimistic at night time meanwhile in the day they were optomistic.

Wiesel is using the word Night to symbolize the darkness and fear the Jews feel as they are going through the unimaginable.

It helps the reader have a better understanding and view as to what the author is illustrating and portraying.

# data[].attributes.body
In the early pages of the book these words suggest that the situation and their fear and pain will get worse at night time.

# data[].attributes.body
These words impact the reader heavily because their situation is bad enough at this point when they are optimists but the symbolism of night makes the reader even more fearful of what is yet to come. The reader is also scared to see how their once optimistic views will become pessimistic due to their horrible circumstances.

"It was to be the last night spent in our house" (Wiesel 18)

# data[].attributes.body
The meaning of the word night changes very much as the story unfolds. Before it was not symbolic of fear for they did not fear the night and it did not resemble a fire. For example, earlier in the memoir Elie would be out in Sighet looking at the temple. Sure he was sad but he was not scared; however, now he is fearful at night of the unknown along with the rest of the Jews experiencing this.

# data[].attributes.body
In this sentence, Wiesel says that it is the last night in his house. This also means that this is the end of a chapter in his life, and things are going to change drastically.

Wiesel may be using this word to describe Elie's schedule and to illustrate an idea of what these times look like.

# data[].attributes.body
This suggests that this is the last night in his normal life, and nothing will be the same.

"At last, at one in the afternoon came the signal to leave. 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).

# data[].attributes.body
These words allude that Elie is very faithful, both during the day and night. He may maintain this faith later on in the novel as he is strongly introduced to us with his faith.

# data[].attributes.body
These words impact the reader because the reader doesn't know what lies ahead. The future is dark for the reader, because we don't know how the story is going to change and unfold.

# data[].attributes.body
"The next day brought really disquieting news: German troops
had penetrated Hungarian territory with the government's approval"
(Wiesel 9).

# data[].attributes.body
This may lead the reader to thinking more of little actions that Elie commits. The reader may be more observant of his commitment to faith or if he abandons it,

In the day, things change and maybe days are better than nights.

The meaning of night is constantly changing through the story. Night simply meant the nighttime, but throughout the story it evolved. The word Night evolved into fear, anticipation and the unknown. As the story unfolds, night is used in a negative way because it means the unknown.

At the time of use, the night may be used as a symbol for fear, or a time where fear is heightened.
