Night by Elie Wiesel Ch 1-9

The author includes Moishe the Beadle in his narrative because Moishe

• Influenced this thinking

• Is an example of the simple, good person who is injured

• Turns out to be a martyr

• spreads early word of the danger that is to come

The two ghettos are set up in Sighet

• To protect the Jews from hostile townspeople

• To contain and control the Jews before their deportation

• To intimidate the Jewish community

• So the Jews could practice their religion out of sight

Mrs. Schachter's hysterical cries of "Fire! Fire!" are examples of

• Metaphor

• simile

• Imagery

• Foreshadowing
