In night there were many times when Elie and his dad wanted to give up but they did not because they had each other. They used family to get through the terrible things that were happening to not only them but millions like them. Before the concentration

When Elie and his family are sent to a concentration camp, he is fortunate enough to not be separated from his father. At first, this is a relief, and is father is his will to survive. “The idea of dying, of ceasing to be, began to fascinate me. To no longer exist. To no longer feel the excruciating pain of my foot… My father’s presence was the only thing that stopped me. He was running next to me, out of breathe, out of strength, desperate. I had no right to let myself die. What would he do without me? I was his sole support.”(86)

In the story Elie was whipped savagely by the Kapo, and all he can think about is his father. Later in the new camp Elie's father is giving up on life and Elie tries to make him move. There is an allied air raid and for the first time Elie leave his father.(wiesel pg. 106) This proves he finally gave up on his father. He started off in the story really caring about his father sacrificing his own safety just so he could stay close to him. After his father was struck ill in the new camp he gave up on him. In the story Elie wanted to keep his shoes even if that meant he would get tormented even more. This show he has a very strong will and loves things that give him a glimmer of hope. At the end when his father died he stopped caring and lost all hope in surviving the

One internal conflict Elie experienced was the loss of all of his family. While he was in the concentration camps, he and his father were the only ones in his family that were left. “My hand tightened its grip on my father. All I could think of was not to lose him. Not to remain alone,” which was stated on page 30, explains how he and his father were all that were left and his father would have to be there for Elie during that time. They fought hard together through the cold nights

The experience Elie goes through during this time period changes his perspective on his faith and beliefs greatly. Before being taken by the Natzis Ellie cared highly about his faith and wanted to pursue the study of God. However, when captured by the Germans, he starts to question where his faith lies. After witnessing and undergoing the concentration camps, Elie loses all faith and hope in God, as he is left with nothing to believe in anymore. The holocaust is one of the most important events to be aware of in our history and the effect it had on so many people and on an individual as well, as shown in the way it changed Elie and his faith forever.

They were both afraid to be separated from each other. As Elie says “ All I could think of was not to lose him. Not to remain alone.”pg. 30. There bond was unbreakable during their time in the camp. They were each others reason to live.They helped each other. For example ,when Elie had to give up his crown do that they wouldn't beat his father. They felt each others pain and sorrow.They listened to each other and lived for each other. “ My father’s presence was the only thing that stopped me.”pg.86. Towards the end things got rough in camp.

People had to help each other to survive and keep themselves safe. Although it can sometimes be an every man for himself situation in the camps, an inmate saves Elie and his father when he says, “The man interrogating me was an inmate. I could not see his face, but his voice was weary and warm. He asked my age. ‘Fifteen’ ‘No, you’re eighteen’ ‘But I’m not’ I said. ‘I’m fifteen’ ‘Fool, listen to what I tell you…” (Wiesel 30). Certainly this may have come off as being rude, but this was a major help to Elie and his father. If they were to actually give up and tell their real jobs, this could have put them in the crematorium. The Nazis were looking for healthy, strong, and fit people. Since Ellie was young and his father was old at the time, they probably wouldn't have met the Nazis requirements. Likewise, another moment of hope was when Ellie shared his soup with his sick father and states “Did you eat?’ ‘No. They wouldn't give us anything…’ I gave him what was left of my soup.” (Wiesel 107). Even though Elie is hungry too, he still managed to give up half of his soup. His father is on the verge of death and people are telling him to stop caring for his father, but he still continues to share his meals with him. Provided that, Elie has created a much bigger connection with his father rather than just the father and son role. In the end, the result of inhumanity can cause people to change for the better and help people a lot

In the beginning of the book, before experiencing life threatening difficulties, Elie was much more determined to stay with his family (in order to survive). Eliezer thought that his father was what kept him going and gave him strength, he was certain that the right thing to do was to stay with his dad. In chapter 3 Wiesel states, “My hand tightened its grip on my father. All I could think of was not to lose him. Not to remain alone” (30). In these sentences, Elie explains that he and his father needed to stay together. This quote also shows what Elie’s emotions were; he was scared to suffer through the concentration camp alone. Elie also shows his need for family when he says, “Franek, the foreman, assigned me to a corner... ‘Please, sir ... I’d like to be near

“But deep inside, I knew that to sleep meant to die. And something in me rebelled against that death.” (89) Even though Elie was physically exhausted over the never ending hours of running he avoided going to sleep like the others did. Deep inside him knew that if he did he was going to die. As much as he wanted to sleep he fought with himself to stay awake. He knew that if he did fall asleep and die he wouldn’t be able to be with his father. Another passage that this was shown though was, “Chilled to the bone, our throats parched, famished, out of breath, we pressed on.”(87) Even though Elie was dehydrated and he really couldn’t run anymore. But he still went forwards no matter how bad his condition was. His mental strength was all that kept him going he knew that this would be all over soon if he just kept

In Night by Elie Wiesel he continued looking for his dad since he didn’t want to give up on him and stilled cared. For example “If only I didn’t find him I would be relieved of this responsibility”(Wiesel 106). If Elie stopped looking he wouldn’t have to worry about his dad's survival and just focus on his. After he said this he felt ashamed for even having this thought. “Father! I've been looking for you for so long”(Wiesel 106). He felt relieved and happy that his father was found and didn’t die yet. Now Ellie has to worry and try to keep his dad alive. This is why Elie continues looking for his dad.

Before Elie went to the concentration camps he had many good character traits. For example Elie was very religious.“Together we would read over and over again, the same page of the Zohar.”( Wiesel Pg12) In the beginning of the book Elie had very strong faith in God and devoted lots of his time in his studies.It often talks about in the book how Elie would pray for hours. Elie's faith was one of

How did Ellie change throughout the story? Night by Elie Wiesel, In the book Night Elie became stronger throughout the story.For example when his dad got beaten up he didn’t say anything about it he just watched it.(Wiesel 54). When his dad was getting beaten up he just sat and watched it with no emotion on his face.He didn’t even think about getting up to help his father or to fight back. Then at the end of the book his father was dying and he left his father to die( Wiesel 112). When his father was dying he was yelling at him to get up and keep moving but his father could not he knew it was time.Elie thought that he had to leave him because it was holding him behind and he knew that there was a chance he could

Before the camps they were just a regular family that was Jewish. They lived happily together with the family but there was a connection with the father and Ellie. The relationship between Elie and his father in the beginning was rough. “You are far too young for that”. His father didn’t really think that he could be guided in the studies of Kabbalah. Ellie’s father was critical on him before the camps by saying things like this. It would take a toll on him and lessen the relationship between his dad and him. “My father wouldn’t hear of it”. In this scene Ellie’s

Elie faces a lot of challenges in the book, most of the challenges seem physical but they’re not. When you think about it the outcome of his emotions affected his performance during physical quest like trying to survive in the camp. People do things for a reason it doesn’t matter if they do it based off emotion or regret. Elie’s emotions change a lot in the book so Elie will do things differently in the book. Elie faces tough challenges in the book because his emotions get the best of him like in the beginning he says should I just leave my father to die but he didn’t mean it, Elie was just mad and tired so he was feeling some pretty strong emotions.

This book interested me because it is a great example of what so many people went through in concentration camps throughout Europe in World War II. So many books have been written about personal accounts of war hardships suffered by the Jews but so few capture the true problems faced by prisoners. The impossible decision between survival and family was a difficult one faced by many during this time. Elie had an unfaltering will to live when his father was alive with him but once his father died the reason for living disappeared. But he once was faced with the decision of helping to keep his father alive or let him die and have an extra ration of food. How can one be stuck with a decision like this and not choose survival? Only true unselfishness can cause you to help someone
