Assignment 1: Reasons for Writing
The History of Night

Elie Wiesel chose to write the book //Night// because he wanted to tell people what he’s been through and how he felt. Some say Wiesel wrote it to stop history from repeating itself. Others say that he survived to write this book, but he doesn’t agree, he thinks he survived from being shy. Elie said that he does not know why he wrote the book. He does know that without his testimony or his life as a writer or his life period he would never be where he is standing right now in life. He was convinced that the period of the holocaust would be judged one day. He knew that he must bear witness and that he had many things to say, he just didn’t know how to say them. He thinks that if you have survived the holocaust, then you know it is almost impossible not to talk about it. That is why he wrote the book //Night.//
