Film Adaptation

If I was hired to write the screen play for my novel "night" I believe I would not make cuts to the story. First, I would not because as a novel it is not long, and with the context in the book you could make a well length ed movie. Secondly I believe it is important not to cut scenes because I believe this story emphases`s the real and horrifying events that happened in the holocaust, and I would want the movie to be as accurate as possible. And Finally because this story is written in a point of view from someone who experienced the holocaust and the events that are included in the story are accurate and interesting to most viewers. Therefore this is why I would not make any cuts if I was hired to write the screen play for my novel.

Pathos

In my book "Night" there are many cases of pathos due to the sympathy you feel for the Jewish people during the holocaust. One scene is when the young is thinking about the amount of people killed at the two concentration camp, for no good reason. "(Wiesel 59)no one moved. I could her my heart beating. the thousands who had died daily at Auchwitz and at Birkenau in the crematory ovens no longer troubled me"( Wiesel, Elie. Night. Bantam ed. New York: Bantam Books, 1982. Print.) In conclusion this is one example of pathos in my novel.

   I felt sympathy when reading this section of the novel. I felt this way because the Young man is not troubled but the cremation of people from his Jewish community who are dying because of their religion, I think that no one should ever have to experience such a traumatising experience especially at such a young age. I do not feel empathy because i cannot say have ever understood how he was feeling in that part of the book, although i can image how horrific it would be. Therefore this is why I feel sympathy in this section of the book "Night".
