Christina EvansEssayEdwin Louis Cole once said, “God never ends anything on a negative note; God always ends on a positive note. In the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, this quote is very meaningful to me. He wrote this book to inform people about the horrific nature of the Holocaust in a more real way than a few sentences in a history book. The most important themes are the loss of religion, the destruction of self and the darkness felt internally by Wiesel, but in the end, Elie gets his well-deserved release. Therefore, Wiesel wrote Night to show us readers how he lost his once close-knit faith during his imprisonment, as well as many other things. Elie shows us the horrific events he and others faced during this time in his novel Night. I mention this because I feel like his overall goal in writing this novel was to inform readers that you should always keep looking for that light at the end of the tunnel. Elie faced countless acts of violence, brutality and death and I often know he doubted he could live longer than he has. “I pinched myself: was I still alive? Was I awake? How was it possible that men, women and children were burned and the world remained silent? No. This couldn't be real. A nightmare perhaps…” (32) This was only one of the very first traumatic experiences that Elie faced, among many others, during his stay in the camps. He saw in that moment how heartless people could be and it all seemed so surreal to him. Elijah experienced many unintended and unintended changes in himself throughout this story; Part of the change helped him cope with his life in the camps. Elijah changed throughout history. Most of the changes were involuntary or involuntary changes. The change was both good and bad (emotional, ...... middle of paper ...... he reflects and sees a "corpse", suggests Eliezer's survival is a fluke, a strange coincidence, with no cause to rejoice. It seems from his final vision that Eliezer believes that without hope and faith, after seeing the unimaginable, he might as well be dead I feel. that if Elijah just kept his faith and hope throughout his time in the camp, he would have felt very different when he was released. Perhaps it was a test that God put him through. to see how much he would keep his faith even in immeasurable circumstances, such as those he was subjected to, even if I would have kept my faith close to me, Elijah shows us how he lost his faith, his hope and his trust. throughout this novel I began this essay with a quote from Edwin Louis Cole that said: “God never ends anything on a negative note, God always ends on a positive point”; and that's exactly what God did for Eliezer Wiesel.
