My take on the first part of "Night" by Elie Wiesel (p. 1-26)

First, I think the author included the part about Eliezer’s interactions with Moshe the Beadle because it was an important part of the story; it could also be more important in the future (after page 26).  Also, I think that Moshe the Beadle might be important to know later in the story. He might do something amazing like save people. I think he would feel heroic, and other people would feel grateful. No one was listening to Moshe the Beadle though so far. I think the lesson here is that we need to learn to listen to others better, unlike the people in “Night” did. It doesn’t mean that they deserved what happened, but it may have helped to listen to the warnings. Tragically, When Moshe the Beadle came back they just did not want to believe him, because they did not want it to be true. Then, I think Eliezer’s age definitely changed. It went from when he was twelve to when he was fifteen (pages 1-26). It sounds like his inner being changed too. I also think his attitude changed In a positive and negative way with after leaving his home.
