Choose one passage that wasn't presented in class--make sure it is a passage that is rich and deeply connected to important themes/motifs/issues in the book. Follow the same process that you did in groups to think through and analyze the passage:
* Identify the important themes/motifs/issues you see in the passage.
* Analyze what you see Wiesel doing as a writer -- look at words choices, phrasing of sentences, and the use of figurative language, repetition, or other literary devices. Talk about specific pieces of text within the passage
* What ideas/perspectives/understandings or even questions is Wiesel trying to instill in the reader? What is his purpose?
You can also include your own reflections and responses -- what you noticed about your own experience reading this part of the book.
Write about 250 - 400 words.
**Try not to pick a passage that someone else already did! Show that you can think for yourself!
