Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel both have some similarities and some differences in their writing styles and thoughts that go into what they write. To begin, Levi and Wiesel both use simple sentences in their writings, in order to convey the ideas of their messages in a clearly understandable way. However, a huge difference in their writing styles comes to light when one sees the sentence organization and variation that both authors use. Where Elie Wiesel uses simple sentences throughout his memoir, occasionally dropping in a complex sentence, Levi makes sure that his writings have regular variation in the sentence types. If Levi places several simple sentences in a paragraph, there are at least one or two complex sentences to follow. Another difference in their writings is the uses of anaphora, concrete diction, and parallelism. Elie Wiesel uses mny instances of parallelism in his memoirs, anaphora and concrete diction are plentiful, as well. Primo Levi's writings, however, lack uses of parallelism, but are full of anaphora and concrete diction. An example of his use of anaphora is the repetition of the word "we" throughout the excerpt, in order to concey the idea that he is not alone in his misery, that there are others living this faith. Finally, Levi and Wiesel's ways of writing their experiences down allow one to choose his way of interpretation. Where Wiesel's text can be interpretted as a memory and learning experience for mankind, Levi's text seems to be of a more analytical nature. Levi allows his reader the option of a psychological interpretation of his text, which gives the reader a chance to investigate the human nature and cruelty when allowed the freedom to express itself in an unrestrained environment.
Although Primo's and Wiesel's topic was relatively the same, the writing style was somewhat different. Both Primo and Wiesel have a very short sentence structure, "Now the second act begins" (1095 Primo). Both authors use similar words and both authors use similar imagery. One difference between the two authors is that Primo spends more time explaining things that Wiesel, but the way Primo explains it is the same as Wiesel. Each author are very similar in there style.
Elie Wisel and Primo Levi use similar styles to convey the inhumanity of the tragedies they witnessed. They both use simple, short sentences to convey the extent of the inhumanities they witnessed. The simple sentences convey things in a matter of fact way, which takes the non-fiction from something that's not fake to something that you witnessed all of the emotion of. The short sentences also show the loss of will to live. Both authors seem sad and lusterless or dull, like the joy of life has been taken from them. They write like there is no need for long sentences or colorful verbs or adjectives. But, Primo's style is slightly different. His sentences are slightly more complex, and he maintains some color. He is less of a victim and more an accuser or the Nazis.
Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel have similar styles, however, there are some differences. They described the events in similar ways, but the sentence length was different. Although short sentences are found throughout both texts, they are more predominant in "Night". Sentences in "Survival in Auschwitz", on the contrary, are sometimes extremely long. There is more figurative language in Wiesel's writing than in Primo's. Both styles can be described as rather dark or gloomy, with not much joy in the writing. At times, however, there are changes in the mood to lighten up the tension.
Levi and Wiesel are both writing about the same thing. They use some of the same style, both using short sentences. Levi uses more complex sentences than Wiesel does. It seems that Wiesel likes to use simple sentence so that it is short and to the point, but that Levi uses more complex sentences to elaborate on his feelings and expierences. Due to the fact that they are both writing of similar events they both basically have the same tone, which is dark, mysterious, and nervous their discribtions are also similar. They both use concrete diction so that the images become more realistic and you can truly imagine what is going on.
Considering that Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel wrote on the same topic, their writing styles differed greatly. Levi's sentence structure was different from Wiesel's, in that Levi's sentences tended to be long than Wiesel's. Having longer sentences allows Levi to play with the grammer of his memoir and work with his figurative language a bit better than Wiesel has able to in this particular part of the novel. Wiesel's sentences tend to be fragmented into 1 to 4 word phrases, giving the descriptions of what is happening a bit more articulated detail and a fast moving feeling. There is one example of parallelism in the excerpt from On the Bottom and multiple examples in the excerpt from Night, meaning that although there were many less sentences in One the Bottom, they were more varied that those from the excerpt of Night. Something interesting about the diction of these excerpts is the usage of inclusive first person. Instead of I or me, its we or us, this helps to prevent the reader from feeling isolated because with the anaphoric use of we and us, the reader would get the feeling that all the Jews were in it together.
Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi have many similarities and differences in their writing. Both Wiesel and Levi share the same style of short sentence structure. Both Wiesel's and Levi's diction is very dark and depressing. But Levi's sentence structure is longer, which lets the writer use his grammer wisely and can use more figurative language, insted of using specific details like Wiesel. While Levi goes into detail about the events that have happend to him, Wiesel tends to keep his detail short and simple, even though his writing can still provide the reader with accurate imagery. Both writers provide the reader with a great mental image of what was happening at the time of the novel.
