Designed for an AP or pre-AP class (but easy to use for other levels as well), this assignment pushes students to examine Wiesel's language and style in order to gain an understanding of the function of diction, syntax, figurative language, and tone in his narrative. It includes carefully selected passages from the narrative and a series of guiding questions that explain to students how to perform the close reading.
