Elie Wiesel, Author of Night, Aged 16 - Kyra - 29.07.22

 Night - Kyra - 29.7.2022

We completed a second Empathy Map looking at what Elie was like at the end of the war. But we did this one on our own, not in groups.

By the end of the war ......

Elie was 16 years old by the time he was liberated from the concentration camp. He had lived in the concentration camp for 4 years. For 4 full years that camp was knowed as his home. Elie was lucky enough to have been able to go through most of his time there with his father. But sadly his father was not strong enough to push through, like Elie was. His father died, leaving Elie alone by himself. 

His whole family had been killed. He was completely alone.

Over Elies time in the camp his gold tooth had been pulled out, his foot had been operated on, he had been on a very long death march and much more terrible stuff.

No matter how much Elie might want to forget his time in the camp, he can not, he will not.

The thing I think I have taken away from the novel 'Night' is that I should never take anything for garanted and to be thankful for everything in my life. I need to learn not to get to upset over little things, when there are much worse things happening to other people in the world :))

Night - Kyra - 15.6.2022

Our English class is studying the memoir Night, by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. I worked in a group with Harriet, Olivia and Lee to create an Empathy Map for Elie at this age.

This is our beautiful empathy map :)

This is my paragraph I wrote about Elie and all the stuff I know about him at the age of 12.

At the start of the book, Elie was living in sighet, transylvania. He was only 12 years old. Elie lived with his mother, father and his three sisters. He is the 3rd eldest child and the only boy, with two older sisters and one younger sister. Hilda the eldest, then Bea and the youngest or the four is Tzipora. His dad was a very cultured man, rather unsentimental. His father was held in highest esteem. Elie's father rarely showed his feelings to anyone, not even his family. He always puts other people's needs before his own. Elie was very observant for his age, he would go to the synagogue to pray and weep. He was a happy young boy living a fun life.
