Night Reflection
I think that the book Night by Elie Wiesel shows human suffering. This human suffering however is not a human suffering that can't be stopped, this human suffering is being brought upon by people. This genocide was planned out and done intentionally. We learn that human suffering is a powerful thing, and shows how one person can have such a big effect on the world. This book teaches us not only the power of one person but also the after effects that occur after such as big happening.
