First Draft Due Tuesday November 18th
Second Draft Due: November 25th
Third Draft Due November 9th


In a well-developed five paragraph essay, discuss dehumanization in the novel, Night. Your essay should include at least three specific examples of events that occurred which dehumanized Eliezer, his father, or his fellow Jews.

The essay should be comprised of a thoughtful analysis of the example, and not merely a retelling of the scene or incident that considers the significance of the example. You should also consider what effect this has upon the Jews such as how it impacts their mental state, interactions with one another and their self-concept, as well as how it may influence non-Jews to treat them.
