Night Journals Reflecting thoughts and emotions

Directions Over the course of reading Elie’s memoir, we will be writing journals. These journals need to be at least ½ page long and need to be grammatically correct. I will collect them at the end of reading Night.

Journal #1 From “My Most Precious Possessions”, what would you take and why? Why are those things so important? Why did you choose those particular items to pack over others? How would you feel if you had to pack one bag and leave your home forever? What would you be feeling, scared, sad, lonely, depressed?

Journal #2 Section 2 has Elie and his family on a very tight spaced cattle car. How would you deal with being on a cart that small with 80 other people? What feelings would you be feeling as you were being taken to an unknown place? What questions would you want to ask? What would be your main priority in this situation? Family? Survival?

Journal #3 From your handout, we discussed what Elie believed in. What do you believe in? Do you believe in faith? That everything happens for a reason? That everyone deserves a chance in life? Write about one or two of your believes and explain them. Why do you believe them and why are they important to you?

Journal #4 How do the people Wiesel interacts with strengthen or diminish his hope and desire to live? Talk about his father, Madame Schachter, Juliek (the violin player), the French girl, Rabbi Eliahou & his son, the Nazis. Which of their actions touched you the most?

Journal #5 Why do you think Wiesel titled the book "Night?" What are the literal and symbolic meanings of "night" in the book?

Journal #6 Why do you think it is so important for Elie to stay with his father? Is there a person that you would do anything for? Tell me about them. Why are they so important to you and what would you do in order to protect them?

Journal #7 What do you think has been the hardest struggle for Elie during the novel so far and why?

Journal #8 Do you think that Elie’s father’s death made him free? Do you think he had a hard time with it or was it something that was a good thing? How is death a theme in this novel?

Journal #9 What scenes from Night do you remember most vividly? Have they made you look at the world or your family differently?

Journal #10 Could something like the Holocaust happen today? Discuss more recent genocides, such as the situation in Rwanda in the 1990s and the ongoing conflict in Sudan. Does Night teach us anything about how we can react to these atrocities?
