Night Chapter 5 & 6 Reading Guide

Review: an allusion is a reference. Often that reference is to something famous such as a famous event in history or a famous piece of art or literature. However, sometimes the allusion can be to something that is not famous, rather just a reference to something that both the writer and the audience are familiar with.
Allusion & Page # / What is being alluded to? / What is the author’s purpose for including the allusion?
“face to face with the Angel of Death” page 32 / “Angel of Death” / Wiesel uses this allusion to show the reader that at the moment he saw the fire pit, he truly believed he was about to die and meet the “Angel of Death”.
“when Sodom no longer found favor in Your eyes” page 62
“Elizer…the twenty-five strokes of the whip. Yes…I remember.” Page 83
