The Gun is greatly significant at the beginning of the book. The guns were used a lot during the historical context of WWII and the novel "Night." In the novel "Night," Elie's friend Moishe Chaim Berkowitz got deported to a concentration camp. He was a able to escape from there a few days later though and get back home. When he got back home he shared his stories for the things he saw with people. One of them he told Elie. It was about when he saw men throwing up babies up into the air and using them as targets when they were using the machine guns. That was very horrific for Moishe to see happy, to little inoccent babies who didn't even do anything wrong. Elie couldn't believe what he was hearing.


The significance of the Gun is important because it changing the way the war happens. By killing people who didn't even do anything. They don't deserve to get treated this way for the way people are treating them. The type of impact I think I will have on the rest of my novel is by being shocked by the things that are going to be happening. The way that things change to people and how they are treated.


Yes, the Gun emotionally changes my opinion of the war because it kills millions of people throughout the war. Let alone during the Holocaust 6 million died but not all were just from the gun. But still many people died from it.
