What I like and find very interesting about the writing style of Elie Wiesel is that in Dawn, he does not introduce the all the characters directly right away. Just two pages in, the reader is already introduced to the beggar and Gad; but they are quite vague descriptions. The narrator mainly talks about what they had said to him or her, but Wiesel did not really put the character into a distinct description of them. Not even the narrator of this novel is introduced right away. But in the following chapter, the narrator is already revealed as an 18 year old girl named Elisha. She ends up giving more insight on the other characters in the story, which I think is different yet well thought out of Wiesel to do in this novel. What I like about this style is that it's very mysterious at first, then gives character analysis after they have given the reader a sense of what the person is like. It gives the reader interest because the stories that are being told. They are quite interesting which makes the reader to not only read further into the book, but the reader would also want to know who is telling these interesting stories. From my perspective, after I had read “Night” and started this book, I thought the narrator would be Elie again, but in a different situation. But once I got further on into the novel, they finally introduced a different character in a completely different perspective. I liked how Wiesel made this novel so that it would leave the readers wanting to know more and more. What about you Abby? Do you like or dislike Wiesel’s writing styles?
