Bridget's feedback:

"It's clear you've spent time with Wiesel's text, and you convey the impact it has on the reader to your own readers well. The next challenge is to move that discussion into a more advanced analytical space by shifting the focus of this current draft from summary and description into a thesis-driven curation of evidence that enhances the analysis. Your introduction and conclusion suggest anecdote, imagery, and character arcs are some of the ways the book impacts the reader; shape your chosen evidence into a list of devices used by Wiesel, and then use that to craft your thesis. Following the plot beats, as you appear to do in the current body paragraphs, will often result in unnecessary details; consider other organizations that can help emphasize how the author creates subtext and effect (rather than what). Finally, use a careful proofread to catch existing errors, awkward phrasing, and passive voice that impacts clarity and efficiency. Make sure, as well, to italicize the novel's title; this will help, again, with clarity (readability) and ethos."
