Night, Second part, Analysis

Something that really made me think about this book was its ending. The book ended with obscurely and confusing. Personally, I wanted to hear how he returned to his hometown and moved on and how everything in the holocaust affected him although we see previous of his life when he talks about the future, for example when the Parisan woman gives coins to the starving kids.

Eliezer went through a lot of changes as the book progressed. He gradually lost his faith on God after he abandoned them and left them to die. I don't blame him because I am sure that many did the same. Even myself, when something goes wrong question where is God. If with mere problems I wonder that, imagine the fury and rage that they most have gone through after they were left to die with no reason at all. The other notable change that he undergoes relates to his father. Clearly, his relation with him gets weaker and weaker and as he sees children who beat their parents to death, he questions himself about his father and if he is an important person or someone who absorbs his energy and eats food that could be his. This idea sounds crazy, to kill your own father and it is not backed up, not even under this sircumstances but the line between what is right and what is wrong had already been crossed and what was sane and insane was no longer something different.

Definitively the book is great and the title fits perfecly, specially because there is no day after the book, its simply night and sorrow. The last sentence of the book. when he glances at a mirror and a corspe stares right back at him symbolizes all the pain that they went through and also means that death was pretty much what they went through. It is one of book that makes you question yourself many things and makes even a slight difference in your life. I had already read a book about the holocaust in 7th grade but i dont remember the name. The diffrence was that that book was based on the adventure on how the escaped and etc. This book is more of a memoair with fiction. I am looking forward to read similar books.
