Monica, I agree with you in your post that Night has a lot more emotion in it then Dawn does. Dawn has this vague sense of, how to put it, not being there. Night is real. Night is intense. Night shows raw emotion. Night broke my heart reading it, especially since I knew that it was a realy story. Dawn just didn't have that affect on me, and I feel that it made the story not as good as it could have been.
To be honest, I felt that Dawn could have been a better book. It really lacked compared to Night. Maybe if it wasn't considered Night's sequel it would be a little better. Just, basically nothing can compare to Night I don't think. To make Dawn better, I think that Elie should have written more about his life. It would be really interesting to see his thoughts on the Holocaust later on in time. How thye may have changed, or maybe they are still the same thoughts that they have been since the begining. I feel like they might not have changed, maybe even grew worse as he reflects over the times. There is a lot of time in life to reflect, especially on the sad moments. And obviously Elie has had a thousand life times of sad experiences. Monica, do you feel that Dawn could have been better? If so, what would you have changed to make the book better?
