Night is an excellent book. It is a very vivid and detailed account of the concentration camps during World War II. It is told through the eyes of a young man, Elie Wiesel. This book is extremely thought-provoking.
             In the book, Elie describes his fear and terror of being brought to a ghetto with his family. At first, the ghetto was not bad at all; it was better than Elie and his family had expected. However, the day his family packed up and was transported to a concentration camp was the day Elie's life changed forever. On the way to the concentration camp, Jewish people were packed into trains so they could hardly move. Once at the concentration camp, families were split up. Elie was terrified; he was still very young. He was separated from his mother and siblings, but he was not separated from his father. From that day, all the way until the end, Elie stayed with his father. When Elie's father grew weak, Elie gave him some of his food ration from the day. Soon after arriving at the camp, every person was sent to work. Elie and his father were split up during the day, but continued to support each other. After what seemed like forever, Elie and his father were moved to another concentration camp. All of the Jews were forced to run to the next camp. Anyone who stopped or was too weak to continue was shot. The officers in charge had no mercy for anyone and killed even little children. Soon, the weather turned cold, and people began to die from sickness. Elie's foot became infected and his father grew ill. Through it all, Elie forced himself to stay alive and stay strong. He forced his father to do the same. In the end, Elie learns a powerful lesson. He learns that belief in himself and in others got him through this horrific experience.
