"Night" by Elie V.S. Dawn

Elie or Elisha? "Seeing myself with the eyes of the past I imagined that I was in the dark gray uniform of an SS officer" (D. 27). The SS officer's control Elie while Elisha now sees himself acting like the SS officers. Night and Dawn tells the story of how Jews survived the Holocaust and are both written by Elie Wiesel. Elisha is more independent than Elie. Elie stays by his father's side while Elisha depends …

…but in different ways. Elie is dependent while Elisha is independent. Elie stays by his father most of the time while Elisha works on his own. Elisha is known as a murderer for the rest of his life and Elie is known as a victim of the Holocaust. Elisha and Elie are both afraid of death but in very different ways. Elisha and Elie are two similar people but have two different lifestyles of living.
