3. ‘The Kingdom of Night’: Lessons from the Past Colorado Academic Standards: 2. Reading for All Purposes & 3. Writing & Composition MYPH Criterion: A. Analyzing&B. Organizing Objectives: You will be able to perform a close reading of the memoir Night by ElieWiesel in order to examine the use of symbolism and its impact on the meaning of the work as a whole Guiding Questions: • What value is there in studying the horrors and dysfunctions of the past? • How can story-telling affect the world? • What is the purpose and effect of symbols (and motifs)? How do symbols create and deepen understanding and contribute to the meaning of the work as a whole? Enduring Understanding: • Literature is often a chronicle of man’s capacity for inhumanity and dysfunction, but it is also a reminder of the power of the human spirit to triumph over the past. In that sense, literature has been essential to the march of human progress. • Narrative/story-telling deepens our understanding of history by giving us an intimate, personal understanding of the experiences of others in times past.
