Can you give me your opinion on my paper?

It sounds like u are doing just fine. Try to find some really vivid quotes and ask yourself all the questions that come to mind from these. The questions should be related to your thesis statement, which should be the opening to your first paragraph. This seems to be missing and I think that will help u develop the questions surrounding the quotes u choose. For example, u might wish to start with a statement: 'In Elie Wiesel's Night, dehumanization is revealed to be the cause of psychological trauma both to its victims and its perpetrators.' The next three paragraphs then revolve around vivid examples of dehumanization and its effects on both victims and perpetrators. Those examples should be in your six quotes. This will 'prove' your opening statement. At the end, use a one or two line conclusion that sums all of this up and reinforces that u were right about your original statement. It looks like u are already doing this. U just need to clarify your opening statement and make sure u stick to this with your third paragraph and the final two quotes u choose. Make sure u balance examples of trauma to victims and perpetrators equally so both points are clearly made. Otherwise, proof read for some grammar stuff. Other than that, very good job so far.
