In the story NIGHT by Elie Wiesel:

saw5 [17]

In looking at the story, “Night,” by Elie Wiesel, we see that it is a story about a male Jewish teenager who experiences the Holocaust. During his experiences, we see that his faith is affected in two different ways. Initially, the events he sees strengthens his faith because religion is comforting during his earlier experiences. Later on, his experiences because of all the atrocities he has seen, he begins to lose his faith. When writing an essay on how Eliezer’s experiences have affected his faith, you could talk about, both, how his experiences were positively and negatively affected. This would give you an essay of four paragraphs. Paragraph 1 would be your introduction where you set up your paper and include a thesis statement and mention something similar to “Eliezer was certainly a Jewish man of faith; however, his experiences within the Holocaust caused his faith to be both positively and negatively affected.” What this tells readers is that Paragraph 2 will be about the positive effects on his faith (where you’ll provide examples from the story). Then, Paragraph 3 will be about the negative effects (where you’ll, too, provide examples from the text. Lastly, you’ll provide your conclusion in Paragraph 4 where you’ll provide some final insights and reiterate your thesis statement (restating it but using different words).
