Light in Night, by Marisa B.

With all the darkness that envelopes the book Night by Elie Wiesel, there is little to no light. Death rampages through the pages without check and sadness follows it with glee. People don't dare look to another, not wanting to see what they know is there. Loved ones are torn from each other even after being promised that they would remain together. There is one thing that allowed people in the Holocaust to continue moving, and while hope had a tiny part to play, there is something even slightly bigger. The very fact that the human mind was able to numb its body into obscurity is a thin shield that blocks out insanity. Sadness and tears will come after being pushed beyond physical limits, but being able to just move allows the mind to survive just another minute.

  1. Eloquent and full of imagery. Story-like which allows true meaning to come forth.
