The Night of Elie WieselQuestion one) look at the cover of the book. Does the book cover show that it is a biography/autobiography and not a fictional book? As? The interviewee's first look at this autobiography does not appear or resemble a life story until the words displayed on the cover catch your attention. “His testimony of a childhood in the death camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald,” these words represent a written piece of biography or memoir. The use of words in persuasion including the expression "record" identifies the book as an account of the life of a living or deceased person. Question two): What is so special or interesting about this person? Why was the book written about them? Elie Wiesel's written autobiography is a memoir describing his experiences during the Holocaust and his imprisonment in several concentration camps. Wiesel says he lived through a time affected by war and went through a dramatic experience while keeping his life safe. Since there were large amounts of death during the Holocaust, Wiesel was fortunate to be alive today and tell the public what he went through to be here today. Question three) read the first chapter of the book. How is the topic introduced? What are your reactions towards him? After reading the first chapter we are introduced to Wiesel himself who reflects on religion and his maturity in life. The first chapter, which takes up ten pages of the autobiography, provides an in-depth answer to what led to the deportation. It is explained to us in what context and in what conditions, this to compare it with the future conditions to which Wiesel will have to be set. After reading the first interval, the reactions to Wiesel's experiences are one of sympathy and concern towards him. Question four) How does the writer create interest in the first chapter? Wiesel uses suspense and anticipation to create interest. Wiesel also uses major events that happened in the 1945 era. This is to capture interest and so the reader has a brief understanding of what happened without making it complex and makes you want to read his side of the story deeper .Question five) At what point in the person's life does the book begin? Why do you think the author started at this point? Wiesel is 16 years old at the beginning of the book and, as mentioned before, his faith in religion is undecided but he is raised as a young Orthodox Jew and is sent with his family to the German concentration camps.
