=Anaphora Information= =[|Anaphora]=

Definition: a repetition of a word or words at the beginning of two or more successive verses, clauses, or sentences. [|Definition] There are many examples of anaphora in Elie Wiesel’s book “Night.” [|Example] In chapter 2, Mrs. Schacter repeats the phrase, “Fire! I see a fire! Look at this fire!” quite often. It made the people on the little railcar very irritated. Anaphora is important in this book because it lets the reader know the importance of the quote. Example: No one believes Mrs. Schacter about her seeing the “fire” until they finally arrive at Auschwitz and smell burning flesh.

In chapter 3, Wiesel uses another example of anaphora. He repeats the words"Never shall I forget...Never shall I forget...Never shall I forget..." Explaining his first night in Auschwitz.

In chapter 5, the prisoners in the camp are repeating, "Blessed be...Blessed be...Blessed be..." over and over again because they want Him to help them get out of the whole mess.

foreshadowing definition

Foreshadowing is a hint of what is going to happen. One prime example of foreshadowing occurs on page 9 which in parenthesis states, "(Poor Father! Of what then did you die?)." Thus, the use of foreshadowing helps Elie to build up the suspense and the fanatical need for answers in the reader. "Fire! I see a fire! I see a fire!" pg.24 Suddently Batia Reich, a relative who lived with us, entered the room: "Someone is knocking at the sealed window, the one that faces outside!"- pg.14 =Metaphor Information=

[|metaphors]Definition: Comparing two things without using like or as In chapter one of the novel //__Night__// by Elie Wiesel the author uses many metaphors. For example, [|chapter one metaphors]" The stars were only sparks of fire which devoured us. Should that fire die out one day, there would be nothing left in the sky but dead stars, dead eyes." Another important example in chapter one is[|Chapter one metaphor], " We wished for the feast were over, so we did not have to play in this comedy any longer... One the seventh day of passover, the curtain rose."

In chapter 3 an example of metaphors is, " An SS officer had come in and, with him, the smell of the Angel of Death."

Also, in chapter 4 an important metaphor is,"Two lambs with hundreds of wolves lying in waiting for them. To lambs without a sheperd,free for the taking. But who would dare?" This quotation is describing soup.Another metaphor in chapter 4 is,"They pointed their fingers, the way one might choose cattle, or merchanidise.

In chapter 6 an extreme example of a metaphor is ," We are the masters of nature, the masters of the world. We had transended everything- death, fatigue, are natural needs. We were stonger than cold and hunger, stronger than the guns and the desire to die, domed and rootless, nothing but numbers, we were the only men on earth."

In chapter 7 Elie describes his father ,"He had become child like: Weak, frightened, vulnerable.

In the last chapter of the novel //__Night__// Elie as seen himself in a mirror and descrbes what he seen," From the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me."
