The Light in Night By McKenzie Stauffer

In the novel Night Elie Wiesel explains his experience during the Holocaust. Threw out the years in the concentration camps it seemed like nothing was getting better and everything was getting worse. He was starving, he had to walk hundreds of miles and his dad died. He was in the middle of a huge nightmare. During this nightmare some seem to forget the fact that even during the night there are some rays of light. For Wiesel his light was surviving, being with his father(for a time) and being able to thank those that warned him of danger. These rays of hope were his moon and stars. Even though they shine dimily they were the things that gave him hope to press forward and travel on to the next dawn.
