Dehumanization Essay
Dehumanization is the process by which the Nazis gradually reduced the Jews to little more
than "things" which were a nuisance to them. In five paragraphs, discuss at least three specific
examples of events that occurred which dehumanized Eliezer, his father, or his fellow Jews.
You must make reference to specifics from the book in your responses.

positive images. Where does Night provide examples of courage, moral dignity, and
compassion? In a five-paragraph essay, provide at least two examples of each of these positive
traits. How do these examples contribute to the novel? You must use specifics from the book
in your response.
