Assignment 1: Reasons for Writing
Tristan Cooke English 8A-3 January 27, 2010

Elie the Survivor

Elie Wiesel wrote night for many reasons. One reason Elie wrote the book so the Holocaust would not happen again. He wanted to leave behind a legacy of words and memories. Elie does not want people more people to die their color, religion, or race. By writing the book he feels it would not hurt to do all he can to stop repetition of a Holocaust. Another reason is to preserve a record of the ordeal he endured. Another example is he believes he has an opportunity change the world and to let students to learn that this did happen and it is no just an myth like some people believe. All in all Elie wrote the book for reasons that can stop the Holocaust from repeating.
