Assignment 1: Reasons for Writing
Life behind Elie

Elie wrote //Night// for several different important reasons about the Jews in the Holocaust. The first reason Elie wrote this book is to give some meaning to his survival to show how important it means to him. Elie not only wrote this book for all the people out there to show what the Jews went through but this book made Elie who he is today as a person, writer, and human. Also Elie did not want these crimes committed by the Germans to be erased from history. Elie also wanted to write this book because the dictionary had meager, pale, and lifeless facts to offer about the holocaust. Elie had many good reasons to write this book it either to give a better example of the holocaust or to get his story out to public.
