Night

Well I finished Night a while ago, but I have not had the opportunity to write about it yet. It was an interesting experience to read that book. I was filled with a lot of different emotions while I read it. It is a very remarkably sad story to take part in. If the Nobel Prize speech was not included at the end, I think I would have had a completely different perspective of how his life ended. I think reading his Nobel Speech prize gives the reader a lot more hope, knowing that he still believes in God. Reading about the Concentration Camps in Germany reminded me of how terrible that that whole thing was. Sometimes it seems like it was so long ago, but it really wasn't. When you read a book like Night, it helps to remind us that they were real people, with real emotions. When you get to know people and hear their life stories it makes them so much more real and important to you. I can't imagine how I would feel if something like that happened in the world right now. But the sad thing is, sad things are happening everyday in the world, and it seems like so much happens everyday that it almost desynthesizes us and makes us believe that anything can happen. I think that our generation is used to the impossible happening because amazing things are happening everyday.
