(1.) The novel "Night" by Elie Wiesel is a book about the author's first-hand experiences as a Holocaust survivor at the time of the event. One of the highlights of the book is his relationship with his father. The events of the war that affected them inverted their parent-child relationship where Elie had to take care of his father as his father becomes progressively worse. This greatly affects me because Elie is fighting two conflicts -- the conflict caused by the war and the conflict caused by his growing resentment of having to take care of his father. These two conflicts robbed him of years as a proper young person. I am deeply affected knowing that these years are some of the most important to a person and not experiencing it normally really takes a toll on someone's emotional, mental, and psychological growth. What's more, is that I know that real people experience such desperation.

(2.) Something from the book that appeals to me is a line that Elie said, "If only I could get rid of this dead weight ... Immediately I felt ashamed of myself, ashamed forever." This appeals to me because here we see a change in a person. This change is not caused by him, but by something terrible that he cannot control and that's the war. This appeals to me because this makes me realize that war doesn't only cause destruction that can be seen by the eye but with even deeper things that the naked eye can see. It can destroy a person, their morals, and their relationship with others among many others. However, this line also shows us the real character of the narrator. Despite the desire to leave his father, he also feels guilt. This shows how, despite the war, he is a human who loves his father. It makes me feel even sadder because who knows what kind of life they might have without the war? It could be much, much better.
