In all situations where survival is scarce, hope is often needed to survive. The Holocaust is an example of a situation where survival is scarce because very few people survived and most inmates died. In this situation hope is needed because the want to survive is based off hope and without hope the probability of surviving is not good. From the start of Night by Elie Wiesel, Elie the main character shows the importance of hope. From the time he first arrives at Auschwitz to when his father dies he might have moments when he loses hope but deep down he still turns to hope for his survival. Though at times he may show signs of loss of hope he still utilizes hope for his survival. In the Holocaust memoir Night, Elie Wiesel uses the motif of loss of hope to convey the idea that when faced with extreme circumstances, it helps to have a reason to keep going, so that a person can withstand the challenges.

In the American memoir, Night, Nobel Peace Prize-winning author Elie Wiesel constructs a story about the horrific events he endured during the Holocaust. In the pages of this memoir, he portrays the life of Eliezer, a child born Jewish. In the later chapters of the book, Eliezer endures the tragic hanging of a pipel who lost his life for not giving up the names of the inmates that worked to sabotage the power plant at Buna, a forced labor camp in Germany. The guards forced Eliezer and his father to walk past the child as he hung from the gallows stuck between life and death. The death of the child signifies the death of Eliezer’s faith. The author used this position in the memoir to signify the end of the main character’s religious views, which makes this the climax of the book. The climax fits into the structure of the memoir at this point by staying consistent in word choice and advancing the plot further. The use of the appeals and tone also ties this scene into the plot. However, each translation utilizes these devices differently. The scholar’s translation focuses on ethos, logos, and a helpless tone. Marion’s translation uses pathos and a bitter tone. Marion’s version more effectively uses the appeals and tone because it conveys more emotion to the reader.

“Why do you pray? He asked after a moment. Why did I pray? Strange question. Why did I live? Why did I breathe?” (Pg.5). Moishe the Beadle asked Elie Wiesel some questions that Elies did not know how to answered, he prayed everyday, he was alive but he didn't know why, he breathe and he didn't know why neither.
