In the novel night (elie wiesel) how had elie changed in such a short time?

Question

this is in chapter 3, your knowledge will give me a better understanding:)

Answer 1

I just skimmed briefly through my copy and, if I remember correctly, the first chapter is focused on Mr Wiesel's life before the war, how he was an innocent child. The second may be, more or less, how he and the people in his town were taken from their homes and transported to the camps.
And so, there is chapter three, Mr Wiesel's first encounter in the camp.
He was deported when he was fifteen or sixteen. Think of yourself at that age (I'm assuming you're nearby, though I could be wrong.) You've had a good life thus far, then suddenly you're stripped of your humanity for practicing a certain religion. If the only thing you read from the book is the third chapter to relaly grasp the insight, then so be it. Just read the chapter as if it is you as yourself going through what he did. Picture yourself with the good life you've had, then suddenly stripped of everything in the camp. You will see how much he changed. If you ever read more of Mr Wiesel's works, I recommend The Accident, where you can truly see how much the Holocaust changed people, made them indifferent to the extreme.

Answer 2

Your question is a good example of why reading good, serious books in a school setting is problematic.
