Wiesel, Elie. Night. The hearts corporation 959 eight Ave New York, New York 10019. Avon Books: October, 1969.

Reason, Type and Setting: One of the reasons that I chose this book is because I thought it would be interesting to learn about a true life that lived trough out the holocaust. This book is a non-fiction book and it has to do with the Holocaust during the early 1900’s. Is the story of a young kid that has to live trough the holocaust and has to go trough all the pain and horror of the Nazis. The kid lived trough-out the concentration cams and the sad time where his father passes away and he has to live everything by him self. This story takes place in Germany during the First World War, during the period where Hitler wanted to kill all the Jewish people for hate.

Content: the content of the book is basically to show the way people lived in the holocaust. The author described the place in detailed of the events that happened. Elie has conflicts and starts to loose his faith in god. The book is significant because it shows the horror thousands of Jewish people went thought. Well this is a non fiction book so I believe the whole book is used as evidence.

Chapter: One chapter that really took my interest was chapter 3 because just when he was about to give up something happened that gave the story a whole twist. This chapter fits in the argument because he was going to give up his hopes in god but he saw that they got help from USA. This chapter is important because towards the end of the book the USA Solders arrived. I selected this chapter because Elie was about to give up and

Evaluation: I liked this book because it gave me an over view of the holocaust and the way the poor innocent people died. This book was very interesting and it had interesting things that where not mentioned or went through the. This book would not be my favorite but it did entertain me, but it did inform me. I would definitely recommend this book to people because it has a lot of information and its interesting.

What significance does the book has the book has the big situation of the holocaust that happened in and around Germany. This book is important and significant to people.
