A Light in Night By: Spencer Downs

In the novel Night, there is next to no "light" through out the entire novel. It is a sad, depressing story about how one boy managed to survive the holocaust. What happy, heartwarming thoughts can come from that? The main light source of the book to me is to always have hope. Elie was always told to have hope, and thought about having hope no matter what position he was in. Sometimes his hope was that of a dwindling flashlight, and other times it was a bright as the sun. The other light in the novel was the gratitude that I have for living in a free country, were human rights don't care if you are old or young, rich or poor. In the end, the book Night was a book full of uplifting thoughts (if you read between the lines).
