Essay Prompt for Night

Essay Prompts: Please Choose one of the following choices for a minimum of a five paragraph essay. A rough draft is due next week.


Theme: Why do you think the memoir is called Night? Why does he keep saying: “Night was falling?” “Night Fell?” “Night had fallen.” etc.

Character:  Eliezer says that the flames consumed his faith forever. Why do you think they consume his faith forever? Analyze his journey of faith in his God and how his experience effects that deep part of him. 

Setting: “How could it be possible for them to be burning people—children—and the world to remain silent?” This is a great question—an important question. Why do you think it is possible for tragedies to happen in the world and people not do anything? Why do you think the world doesn’t do anything? Why do you think you don’t do anything?


Your essay will need to follow the standard five-paragraph essay model by including an introduction, body paragraphs (Academic Paragraphs are helpful here) and a conclusion. You need at least three body paragraphs, but don’t feel restricted if you’d like to write more. Just keep the introduction and conclusion. Remember, introduce your novel and author and provide a brief 2-3 sentence summary of the book before you dive into your argument.
