last section of the book!!!!

What is the significance of the book's final image, Wiesel's face, reflected in a mirror? He writes that a corpse gazed back at him, with a look that has never left him. What aspects of him died during his ordeal? What aspects were born in their place? What do you make of his observation that among the men liberated with him, not one sought revenge

I think the ending of the book was really interesting, the fact that he has not seen himself in the mirror for so long, and finally he gets a look at himself, after all the hurt and all the pain everything he has been through and finally he saw himself, I understand that it looked like he was looking at a dead body, it is like doing all the drugs without the high. Some aspects of him that died were his emotions. some aspects that were born were, rebellion. I understand why they didn't look for revenge in the beginning, they were starving, the first thing I would do is eat
as well but Iwould more rather seek revenge than go sleep with women. Or would I...


What is the symbolism of the word "night" in the book?
The symbolism for the word night is darkness, where all the worst thingd happen, darkness like black, emptyness.


How is Elie’s moral struggle an important element of Night?
Elie through out the book struggles alot with his emotions, getting weak but at the same time getting stronger. It is important because it gives us the meaning of the word night.


Why do you think survivors often feel guilty?
I think that survivors often feel guilty, because they didn't seek revenge and they fought their own blood for food, the practically went insane in there, and now that they are free they have to live with the guilt of what they did.


What hints of hope does Elie offer us?
I think that Elie throughout the book he gave us a lot of hints of hope, he never gave up on himself and he never gave up on his dad, to tell you the truth Iwould so much rather be dead.

Why is this book relevant today?
REflect, think about this based upon the whole book and how Elie has grown from an innocent young boy to who is is at the young age of 15. How do the people Elie interacts with strengthen or diminish his hope and desire to live? Talk about his father, Madame Schachter, Juliek (the violin player), the French girl, Rabbi Eliahou & his son, the Nazis. Which of their actions touched you the most? Find at least 2 people and explain his relationship and how that person has influenced Elie.
Tell one person in your life that has strength your hopes, faith, or desire of life. Who has influenced you the most, how does this person do that? Which of their actions touch you the most? ( 5sentence)
There is actually two people in my life that has strenghten my hopes, and faith and desire of life, and that is my moms and pops,they grew up in the gehtto slums of Tijuas, with broken familys, it was real easy for them to do the same to my brother and I, but even though it is hard they have done anything they could forus to have a real good life and they have tried to be there for us too and since i could look back at thierestruggle then look at them now, it gives me strength and hope.

Given their life or death situation, do you believe Wiesel’s attitude toward his father was understandable? Explain your reactions

He cries many times in the beginning of the book, he doesn't weep when his father died, he was sad that he didn't weep, but even though he wanted to he couldn't. All his tears were drained out of him he cried so much that he couldn't cry anymore.
What feelings and thoughts went through your mind as you read about Wiesel’s final experiences as a German prisoner? What would you say if you could talk to him about this time in his life? What would you want him to explain to you? I just think everything the Jews went through was so sad, did they really deserve all of that? I would want him to tell me his worst nightmares, and his worst stories.

Tell me 2 things that you admire or disgust about any of the characters in the chapter and why? two things that I admire about Elie is that he doesn't want to leave his father, and how he has experienced a lot of murder is seems natural to him.

Rabbi Eliahou’s son abandons him during the death march from Buna,The rabbi is looking for his son: throughout their ordeal in the concentration camps, father and son have protected and supported each other. Eliezer falsely tells Rabbi Eliahou he has not seen the son, yet, during the run, Eliezer saw the son abandon his father, running ahead when it seemed Rabbi Eliahou would not survive. Eliezer prays that he will never do what Rabbi Eliahou’s son did. This illustrating the depth of the brutality to which people are capable of sinking when they are mistreated for too long, these incidents reflect on another, They examine the way that the Holocaust tests father-son bonds. What do you think of these unfortunate events? how do you feel about it? Do you think these incidents effects Elie's relationship towards his father? Why do you think that his son abandoned his father? What would you have done is this event, where you and a loved one had to run 42 miles or you will be shot ?Would you take care of yourself or would you do whatever it takes to survive together? Would you also fight over food with your loved one?( 8 sentences)

In Jewish prayer, God is often referred to as “Master of the Universe.” After reading this section, what do you think this quote means. Really think about events that have already happen in the story that may lead to this important passage. Pick apart this quote, analyze and describe each sentences on what you think it means and why. ( 5 sentences) "We were masters of nature, masters of the world. We had forgotten everything—death, fatigue, our natural needs. Stronger than cold or hunger, stronger than the shots and the desire to die, condemned and wandering, mere numbers, we were the only men on earth. At last, the morning star appeared in the gray sky. A trail of indeterminate light showed on the horizon. We were exhausted. We were without strength, without illusions."

Chapter 3 parts 1-2-3

Elie is a deeply religious boy whose favorite activities are studying the Talmud and spending time at the Temple with his spiritual mentor, Moshe the Beadle. At an early age, Elie has a naïve, yet strong faith in God.•However, it is difficult to have faith in God when one is constantly surrounded by death and inhumanity.•In chapter 3, As Eliezer approaches the fiery pit, he feels anger towards a God who allows Nazi inhumanity to exist in this world: "For the first time, I felt revolt rise up in me. Why should I bless His name? The Eternal, Lord of the Universe, the All-Powerful and Terrible, was silent. What had I to thank Him for?" p. 42•Although the only way to survive the concentration camps is to have faith that God will see you through, it is nearly impossible to believe in a God who allows concentration camps to exist in the first place.•What other examples from chapter 3 can you add to display his revolt for God and his faith?•Tell me an experience where your faith has help you go through a hard time or questioned your belief?
Through out thechapter he questioned his faith alot because he is going through a lot of hurt and torture, he is mad at God for letting all of this happen to his family. Yes, there has been time where I question my faith, especially when it gets me to struggle and hate life, I always wonder since God knows the future why would he let people suffer, but I guess what God gives God takes.
Part 2:In this section, Eliezer and the other prisoners are fully exposed to the horrible inhumanity of the Nazis. Due to the brutal methods of the Nazis, they are transformed from respected individuals into obedient, animal-like automatons. How does this transformation take place?Take examples from the book using quotations, tell me your thoughts, and feelings.Tell me an experience where you can relate to a time when your self pride, faith, ego, individuality or family has been striped away from you.
part 3:When the prisoners first arrive at the camp, some of the young men want to rebel: "We've got to do something. We can't let ourselves be killed. We can't go like beasts to the slaughter. We've got to revolt." Despite these early feelings of rebellion, the prisoners rapidly become docile and fearful, and they follow the rules set out by the Nazi authorities.Why do they obey people who are so obviously intent on destroying them? Why do they not just team up together and rebel? the feelings of rebellion quickly get crushed because the nazis seem way more powerful than they thought they get scared and decide no to rebel.
