In this assignment, we explore Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night," examining the significance of its title and the impact of its poignant ending. Students are prompted to reflect on the appropriateness of the title and its connection to the memoir's themes. Additionally, we analyze Wiesel's "The Perils of Indifference" speech, discussing its effectiveness using the rhetorical triangle. Students will provide textual evidence to support their claims, fostering a deeper understanding of Wiesel's message regarding inhumanity and the consequences of apathy.

2 December 2013 • Now that we’ve finished Night, answer the following questions in your warm-ups. • 1. Why do you think Elie decided to entitle his memoir Night? Do you think this is an appropriate title? Why or why not? • What did you think about the ending? Why do you think Elie chose to end his memoir in this fashion? Would you change the ending? Why or why not? If you would change it, how would you end it?
The Perils of Indifference • After listening to the speech and annotating it, write a well-developed paragraph (on a separate sheet of paper) stating whether or not you feel the speech was effective.
