Elie Wiesel
 
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

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

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

Mars-Chan 12-11-2003 02:40 PM

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

Eye of Sarnath 12-11-2003 02:44 PM

:-?

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

Mars-Chan 12-11-2003 02:46 PM

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

Eye of Sarnath 12-11-2003 02:49 PM

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

Mars-Chan 12-11-2003 02:52 PM

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

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

Eye of Sarnath 12-11-2003 04:31 PM

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 12-11-2003 06:28 PM

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

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

Jo Dawn 12-11-2003 10:44 PM

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. :)

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 12-12-2003 12:54 PM

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

Silver Turtle 12-12-2003 08:27 PM

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.

Storm Wolf 12-13-2003 05:21 AM

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:
