Night - Tone Questionnaries

1. What is the author's attitude towards actions or events?

Author’s perspective is limited to his own experience, and the tone of Night is therefore intensely personal, subjective, and intimate. Night is not meant to be an all-encompassing discourse on the experience of the Holocaust; instead, it depicts the extraordinarily personal and painful experiences of a single victim.

2. Is the story humorous or tragic or frightening? Does the author want you to laugh or cry, to feel happy or, sad, to experience anger or fear?

- The story is tragic and frightening. The part that Nazi army treat prisoners, Jews, with cruelty make me feel bad, angry, and frightened. I was wondering how people can treat other people like in very cruel and brutal ways.

3. What is the author's attitude towards characters or the narrator? Does the author like or dislike, trust or mistrust the character or the narrator?

- As a survivor of the Holocaust, as an author, and as a main character, Eelie Wiesel, has to reevaluate God in his world. He does so through is writings, in which he questions God and tells us of the answers, or lack of answers, that he receives.
