Question

Using Night by Elie Wiesel, identify and explain at least one fact and one opinion that support the following theme: “With adversity comes a loss of faith in oneself and in humanity.” hats this mean

Answer 1

Answer:
In Night by Elie Wiesel, there are many facts and opinions that support the theme that with adversity comes a loss of faith in oneself and in humanity. One fact that supports this theme is the following excerpt: “‘Not cry? We’re on the threshold of death. Soon, we shall be inside . . . Do you understand? . . .’” This is a fact because the incorporation of dialogue of individuals who are not the author is a tool that authors of memoirs use to include facts. This excerpt reflects the theme because it is describing one man’s reaction to this terrible situation: there is no way to respond but with despair. One opinion that supports this theme is the following excerpt: “Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever.” This is an opinion because the inclusion of author's statements of belief is a tool that authors of memoirs use to include opinions. This excerpt reflects the theme because Wiesel states directly that his faith was “consumed” by the events of the concentration camps.
