Elie Wiesel

[Silver Turtle]

Just want to know if anybody here has read his works, and what would you suggest about them? I personally did a speech of his for forensics a long time ago and since then have become fascinated with his stories. Right now i'm reading a part from his book called The Accident. Well I want to see if anybody knows what i'm talking about. No bashing him though. Thanks

[Mars-Chan]

Never heard of him....
But the last name's bringing back "Newsies" memories for me.... :lol:

[Eye of Sarnath]

He wrote the book Night, if I'm not mistaken. Great book.

[Mars-Chan]

*laughs softly* It's not you guys...I swear....it's the joke. :lol:

[Eye of Sarnath]

:-?

I have to admit, you've completely lost me.

[Mars-Chan]

Have you seen the movie "Newsies" with Christan Bale as Cowboy?

[Eye of Sarnath]

Nope. That's why I don't get it.

[Mars-Chan]

Ah....I see....
Ignore me.... :lol: :D

[jeff the cheff]

I think I had to read night and dawn for school last year. He wrote those, right?

[Eye of Sarnath]

Like I said, I think so. I also had to read Night for school. It's not as if I regret it though, I enjoyed it.

[Silver Turtle]

Yes he wrote the Night trilogy which is Night, Dawn, and The Accident. Glad to see some people know his works.

[cqb101]

Yep, read night in 8th grade....great book.

[Jo Dawn]

Hmm... I'd never heard of him, but from what you guys are saying, I'm gonna have to go find some of these books.



Mars: I got the joke. I love that movie. :)

[impetus]

I really enjoyed Night and would like to read more sometime. I did try to read Messengers of God but lost interest in his Old Testament exposition (much of which i disagreed with). :wink:

[Mars-Chan]

OMG!!!!!!! :o Someone actually got the joke?!?!?
Jo, you rock!!! :)

[Silver Turtle]

I must say the Night trilogy is the best. And all the books are short and easy to read too. Messengers of God was ok but not as great.

I really loved Night and i've wanted to read Elie Wiesel other books, but i haven't had that pleasure yet :| I have also wanted to meet the man...but haven't had that pleasure either...tho my american History teacher did :roll:
