1. While the majority of this memoir deals with man’s inhumane or brutal treatment of man, one could make the argument that there is much in this story to show us what makes a human being a human being.  Based on your reading of this memoir, what are the good qualities of a human being?  Use specific support from the story to support your ideas.

Night

Oprah’s interview
