“Night” by Elie Wiesel – Personal Responses Chapter 1 • Moché the Beadle’s story is very disturbing. He had experienced horrible atrocities and risked his life to warn his fellow townspeople. However‚ the latter did not believe him yet alone listen to him. They called him the madman.

British Literature Hinkley 8 Dec. 2012 Personal Response Jane Austen’s novel‚ Pride and Prejudice‚ is a great representation of how life in the 1800s would have been.
