So far in the book Night, you can tell that there aren't many characters so far. We have been introduced to Elie and his family. We have also been introduced to Moche the Beadle, and he has already had many things happen to him recently. He was deported and then he came back to tell about all of the horrific things that are happening to innocent people. Nobody believed him because they wanted to believe the lies they were being told. So far, we have only been really thoroughly introduced to Elie and his family.
In the book, people have been taken to ghettos. There was one small ghetto that had very terrible conditions, and they weren't fit for a lot of people. They were taken to this ghetto before they were taken the different concentration camps. These camps were not fit for people either, but the rides to those camps were very terrible too. Their were at least 80 people cramped in one spot, and they were not allowed to leave for about 4 days. They barely had any food or water, and they had to be in very desperate situations.
The setting and the main characters are very important for this story to have because it is much easier to understand it if it is in a perspective from someone. You may be able to relate more to that person because they are actually telling the story. The setting is also really important because you are able to feel how the characters are feeling in certain places. If you were in a beautiful hotel, your mood and tone would be very different. If you were stuck in a ditch, you would not be very happy, now would you? I know I wouldn't. I think these two things are very important for any story to have because it helps you understand what is actually going on.
