I provided instruction on and defined the following literary terms: symbolism, metaphor, simile, personification, and theme, We then studied the text of the novel ,Night, and located examples of each . Kaitlin recognized the author's symbolic use of "night" ,and we noted the personification of Death as the author notes he was "arguing with Death." I discussed how a novel can contain multiple themes usually about life, human nature or society . Last, we examined the final pages of the novel wherein the author comments that upon liberation neither he nor the other prisoners thought about revenge. We discussed the concepts of revenge and forgiveness in the novel and generally. We will have our final test on the novel next Tuesday.
