Tone And Mood Of The Night Analysis
There are several elements that help us in analyzing the story. The first element is the exposition.

    Many Jews in Sighet chose not to believe the warnings from Meadle the beadle who caught glimpses of the full horror. Many people clung to the belief that his reports were exaggerated because contemplating the truth was too horrible. Even Elie who heard of Meadle’s stories took pity on him not fully aware of what was to come. The Jews of Sighet caught glimpses of what waited for them unwilling to believe in Hitler’s plan or escape whatever was to come. Until the Jews experienced first-hand the horrors that existed, they cannot believe that such horrors exist. On the first train to the first labor camp Elie felt optimistic when arriving to Auschwitz saying “Confidence soared. Suddenly we felt free of the previous nights’ terrors. We gave thanks to God.” (Wiesel 27). When arriving to the camp Elie became more optimistic when he started to find people he knew still alive, even in these dark times he was able to find happiness. Not only did Elie have this mind set but the others in the camp as well they believed the war was about to end, even though there was no clear sign. Upon hearing that they were bought to Auschwitz to be killed the younger Jews wanted to rebel while the older ones told them to rely on faith. In the midst of religious persecution the Jews managed to look on the brighter side of things…

    Next and finally, I will write how the language, structure and mood/atmosphere contribute to the reading of the text, and the understanding of the protagonist, and how they characterise him. Page 147, “and” is used a lot, and the story becomes annoying to read. The start of the story is messy, there is no structure and that is annoying to read, page 140. The conversation on page 150 is written in small sentences, which creates suspense and makes the reader want to know more.…

    The first character revealed into readers’ eyes was a niece of Mrs. Sappleton, aged 15 years old but unlike other childe, she was, as Saki described, “self-possessed”. It was this superficial character that deceived Mr. Nuttel’s eyes and his poor verve so well that he thought this visit to Mr. Sappleton may come into a ‘nice division’. Skeptical and incredulous as he was by keeping “wondering” and “doubting”, he did not notice the girl’s such words as “you must try and put up with me”. Self-possessed a girl she appeared and behaved so well that naughtiness and mischief could not be his nature. So why she said “try and put up with me”, Mr. Nuttle failed to consider about this ,since the notion he had perceived that she was not mischievous, but tried to say “the correct something which should duly flatter the niece of the moment without unduly discounting the aunt that was to come.” Such a foreshadow SAKI casted here, at the beginning of the story, revealing a little about the wisdom or cunning of a little girl and skeptical and unsocial character of Mr. Nuttle. Yes, the girl was a little mature for her age who was not only able to judge the silent situation but could break the ice by asking some questions to discover this guest’s character as well as his knowledge of the family he was visiting. Therefore, conversation was conducted…

    Nevertheless, even though the story was very short, it has still a lot that is uncovered and many passages that left me discombobulated. Initially, the narrator starts to introduce the characters in this piece, stating “Our voices were high—his, mine; soft, bright” (13). Then, like it was a bad habit, drops the characters description and traits. Why? Is it not important for us readers to grasp who and what the characters are like? Even during the end of the…
