Night+Chapters+6-9

__**TOPIC:**__ //Elie Wiesel has written in __The New York Times__ (June 19, 2000) about the difficulties he faced in finding the right words for the painful story he wanted to tell—and had to tell—in __Night__. “I knew I had to testify about my past but I did not know how to go about it [. . .] I felt incapable and perhaps unworthy of fulfilling my task as survivor and messenger. I had things to say but not the words to say them. . . Words seemed weak and pale. . . And yet it was necessary to continue.” Does the author succeed in his self-described goals as a “survivor and messenger” who must “testify” to his readers? If you could meet Elie Wiesel, what would you like to say to him or to ask him?//
