4. Interpret Wiesel sometimes uses punctuation and sentence structure to

convey meaning Reread the second to last paragraph in the text. Why does
he use short, incomplete sentences? How does this stylistic approach affect
meaning?

Incomplete question. However, I inferred you may be referring to the author of the story entitled, "Night" by Eli Wiesel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wiesel's use of short and incomplete sentences is done to connect his character's behavior to real-life scenarios in which one may speak rapidly and then temporarily go out of breath. Or it may reflect another similar real-life scenario in which one briefly pauses to think about what to say.

Consequently, this stylistic approach connects the story more to reality.
