HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE WIESEL'S STYLE OF WRITING?HOW DOES HIS WRITING STYLE AFFECT THE PACE OF THE BOOK?

Wiesel's language is terse, precise, and devoid of any extraneous description or modifiers. The purpose of his account was to give a vivid and accurate account of the depravity of the Holocaust as witnessed through the eyes of a disillusioned teenager. As such, there is no room for any embellishments or poetic depictions of heroism or sensational portrayals. Also, he understandably uses many words, phrases, analogies, and allusions steeped in Jewish culture, religion, tradition, and folklore. This reminds the reader of the inescapable fact that the overwhelming majority of the inhabitants of the Nazi death camps were of Jewish identity.

Night is composed of nine unnumbered partitions, each of which masterfully portrays the ongoing struggle of the author to willingly embrace the certainty of death and to defiantly fight for survival in the face of savage oppressors.
