While reading chapter 5 in Night the tone I get from the reader is disbelief and sadness. I see the author using this while he is talking about Elie and his fathers conversation while his father was giving him a knife and spoon thinking he was going to die later on that evening. The way he described what Elie was thinking and feeling in the moment helped add tone to the story. Elie doesn’t want to take the knife and spoon from his father and I believe that is because he doesn’t want the thought of his dad being killed by the Germans to be true. He is scared to accept that it is actually happening. When the author uses tone it helps me as a reader connect to the story. So it’s not so boring. When the author uses tone it makes you think on a
In the book night, the author uses many different kinds of tones but the tone that stands out to me the most is like scary.
The tone the is what the author puts in the story in order to help you get a mood from the story. The tone that the author puts in this whole book in mainly pain,sadness,depressed, and a lot fear. Even though they have all of these there are many more tones that the author puts out in this story.
In the novel, Night, written and experienced by Elie Wiesel, rhetorical devices such as logos, ethos and pathos are used to expatiate the events in the story. Elie was just a child when the invasions commenced. This autobiographical novel consists of the story of Elie Wiesel and his family, primarily his father, as they fight through the treacherous nights. The rhetorical devices compare to the poem by Judy (Weissenberg) Cohen. Judy is also a survivor of the holocaust that speaks at the Holocaust Memorial in Toronto, Canada. This poem and the novel compare through their rhetorical strategies.
The Message of the Memoir Night Eliezer Wiesel writes, Eliezer Wiesel is a Jewish Holocaust survivor, an author, and a human rights activist. At the onset of the Holocaust however, Eliezer Wiesel was a thirteen-year-old, small-town-boy of Sighet, Transylvania who by all accounts was “deeply observant” (Wiesel 3). The Holocaust was a dark time in Jewish history in which Anti- Semitics; mainly the German Nazis led by Hitler, tried to exterminate the Jews. As an author, Eliezer uses an array of rhetorical appeals. Rhetorical appeals consist of pathos, logos, and ethos.
In the American memoir, Night, Nobel Peace Prize-winning author Elie Wiesel constructs a story about the horrific events he endured during the Holocaust. In the pages of this memoir, he portrays the life of Eliezer, a child born Jewish. In the later chapters of the book, Eliezer endures the tragic hanging of a pipel who lost his life for not giving up the names of the inmates that worked to sabotage the power plant at Buna, a forced labor camp in Germany. The guards forced Eliezer and his father to walk past the child as he hung from the gallows stuck between life and death. The death of the child signifies the death of Eliezer’s faith. The author used this position in the memoir to signify the end of the main character’s religious views, which makes this the climax of the book. The climax fits into the structure of the memoir at this point by staying consistent in word choice and advancing the plot further. The use of the appeals and tone also ties this scene into the plot. However, each translation utilizes these devices differently. The scholar’s translation focuses on ethos, logos, and a helpless tone. Marion’s translation uses pathos and a bitter tone. Marion’s version more effectively uses the appeals and tone because it conveys more emotion to the reader.
In Elie Weasel’s speech, he talks about the horrors he faced during the Holocaust. In his speech, he said, “We could not prevent their deaths the first time, but if we forget them they will be killed a second time.” (Weisel). Elie shares how we couldn’t stop the Nazis when they were killing them and forgetting the deaths is only killing them again. This isn’t just shown in Elie’s speech, this is shown in many accounts of people and their experiences with the Holocaust.
Elie Wiesel is one of the most famous survivors of the Holocaust and is the author of a very popular book called Night. He is a Nobel Peace Prize winner and has a very notable speech in which he uses rhetorical choices to highlight several ideals. Ellie Wiesel asks rhetorical questions to invoke thoughts of different times, within his audience while also appealing to his credibility through his heritage and history, and finally, he appeals to the emotion of his audience through his explanation of how oppression is perpetual in our world, all to convey his message of how prevalent global injustice is. Ellie Wiesel asks multiple rhetorical questions within his speech to evoke deep thoughts in his audience about the past, present, and future.
Elie Wiesel wrote a book called Night and Night is about his life experience during the holocaust and to explain his experience during the holocaust elie wiesel used literary elements like image clusters, pathos, tones, and metaphors for the readers to get into more detail and to feel a certain way about his experience.
Many writers write books for different reasons. Some write to entertain others, entertain themselves, or to just inform people.The book Night is about how Elie and his family are taken from their home and to Auschwitz concentration then Buchenwald. Elie covers everything that was going on in camps during his time there and the cruelty commited by the nazi’s. From the preface of the book many different author’s purposes appear. The first purpose that he talks about is writing so that he does not go mad, another that appears is to leave behind a legacy of words, and lastly states the purpose could be to preserve history. He uses many rhetorical strategies to convey his purposes throughout the memoir. By using conflict, irony, and foreshadowing,
He was finally free, no joy filled his heart but abandonment was drowning it. How dangerous is indifference to humankind as it pertains to suffering and the need for conscience understanding when people are faced with unjust behaviors? Elie Wiesel is an award winning author and novelist who has endured and survived hardships. One of the darkest times in history, a massacre of over six million Jews, the Holocaust and Hitler himself. After the Holocaust he went on and wrote the internationally acclaimed memoir “Night,” in which he spoke out against persecution and injustice across the world. In the compassionate yet pleading speech, ¨Perils of Indifference,¨ Elie Wiesel analyzes the injustices that himself and others endured during the twentieth century, as well as the hellish acts of the Holocaust through effective rhetorical choices.

Mou, Xianfeng. “Kate Chopin's Narrative Techniques and Separate Space in ‘The Awakening.”” The Southern Literary Journal, vol. 44, no. 1, 2011, pp. 103–120. The fundamental purpose of this scholarly article is to express Kate Chopin’s narrative techniques, manly focusing on her use of free indirect discourse throughout her novel The Awakening.
I believe that The Awakening by Kate Chopin symbolizes the connection of the human soul, with the outside world. Through nature a person is able to identify who he/she truly is, and what their purpose is in the universe. I believe that the passage does have some biblical inspiration as God made himself visible to random individuals through dreams or nature in order to pass on and important task or message. After the brief experience the individual would have inspiration to perform such tasks. Surviving in a world where hate and jealousy is prevalent in society, there will always be a sense of uncertainty in what action is best as seen in line 7-8 of the excerpt.
The tone relates to how the author writes the story. Tone could also be described as the attitude of the story in a novel/film. The tone can be expressed in many ways. For example, the tone of a story can be expressed by that of a speaking tone or imagined tone. The
Many people have believed that marriage validates a woman’s life and also defines her. Once this idealized milestone has been reached, she then begins to define herself through marital expectations. These stereotypical expectations include bearing children, maintaining a home, and living up to the preset standards that a woman should. Women have upheld this traditional role for centuries and have been reluctantly accepting while doing so. The problem with this traditional belief is that orienting a life around marriage—without experiencing the joys that exploring individuality brings beforehand—will only result in a woman’s unhappiness; Mrs. Mallard, the main character in “The story of an Hour,” experiences just this, for she is consumed by a severe depression that also effects the health of her tender heart. Her marriage becomes oppressive and renders disappointment and un-fulfillment in all that it entails, leaving her bereft of both metaphorical and physical life. She was never able to feel satisfied with her marriage because she never experienced life beforehand. In “The Story of an Hour,” Kate Chopin uses irony to illustrate that a traditional marriage harms a woman both physically and mentally.
