Faith, simple small five-letter word but has a colossal critical meaning. Faith means to have complete trust or confidence in someone or something, simply believing. The author believes that having faith is very important and which is an essential necessity of life. In both texts, "Night" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" faith is tested during their experiences and torture that they endured during a traumatic era. The two texts make one wonder how anyone could continue to have faith within themselves and others during complicated, critically life-threatening times. These two selections show us that no matter the circumstance or how tough and traumatizing a situation can become that one is to always believe and maintain faith within God, yourself and others. Both texts shows that faith and believing can change things and get you farther through a critical situation. In both Elie Wiesel's "Night" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," the theme of faith is developed through friendship, fear and innocence.
