Giles has been said to spend hours out in the field always working. He owns an extensive amount of land so he needs to work hard to keep up with it. One way that I am a hard worker is that I never skip out on school or sports. I have had perfect attendance in school for the past four years. I would even go to school when I had pink eye. I also will never miss practice for my sports or sit out even if I feel terrible. A value that is very important to me is to never quit something that I start. One time I signed up for a triathlon and the next week I got invited to go with friends on vacation. I had to miss out because I made a commitment to my

For instance, on his way to a concentration camp, he sees the bodies of babies and children being burned in a ditch: "For the first time, I felt revolt rise up in me. Why should I bless His name? The Eternal Lord of the Universe, the All-Powerful and Terrible, was silent. What had I to thank Him for?” (31).

During the run to Gleiwitz, Eliezer saw Rabbi Eliahou’s son abandon his father. When Elie’s father died, crying out Elie’s name, he did not respond. Weisel later blamed himself for being too weak; “just like Rabbi Eliahou's son,” he had “not passed the test.”
