Night

              Life throws many challenges at us, but you should never give up. In the book Night

By Elie Wiesel the characters face many challenges. They are put in camp after camp and they are tortured daily. The theme work is liberty, because the Jewish people are forced to do hard labor at the camps. Work is a big part of the book. The Nazis thought that being Jewish was wrong and they didn’t treat them right.

The theme is work is liberty because the Jewish people are forced to do work at the camps, for example in the book it states “the kapo explained to us at great length the vast importance of our work, warning us that anyone found slacking would have him to reckon with.” This shows how much power the Nazis had.  It also shows that the Nazis think they can use the Jewish people as their puppets.

Another reason why the theme is work I liberty is because in the book  it states” we were

tormented with hunger, we had eaten nothing for six days, except a bit of grass or some potato

peelings found near the kitchens.” How do the Nazi expect the Jewish people to work when they

don’t get enough sleep or food.

The theme is work is liberty because in the end I know that they are liberated. For example, in the book it

states "many years later in Paris I was reading my paper in the metro". This was in the future when he got out

of the camps. So work is liberty is definitely the theme. Another example is "this was Franek's chance to

torment my father and to thrash him savagely every day." After this,  Elizer showed his father how to not get

beaten by getting up early to practice. This shows that they believe if they work hard, they will be freed.

In conclusion The theme of the book night by Elie Wiesel is the work is liberty because of everything the Jews

went through, and how they faced it. They worked all day every day and never gave up.
