Oskar Pros And Cons

     Eli has a definite change emotionally. He thinks about the things he would never consider if he was not in Auschwitz. For example, on page 102, Elie says, “I gave him what was left of my soup, But it was with a heavy heart. I felt that I was giving it up to him against my will.” In the beginning, it was as if Elie would do anything for his father. After all, his father was older and it was Elie’s turn to look after him. After a while, his father seems like almost a burden to him. Elie felt obligated to give him the rest of his food, but if given the choice, he probably would not have given it up easily.

This shows Elie’s change in his thoughts on God and having faith. At the beginning of the story, Elie strives to be a spiritual kid and is fascinated by learning about God. He goes behind his father's back to learn about God with Moishe the Beadle, and has intense prayers everyday which he cries during. However, he becomes bitter towards God, angry about all the pain he has inflicted on the Jewish race. This change in perspective was brought on by the torture, abuse, and inhumane treatment by the Nazis. It causes Elie to question how God, who is supposed to be helpful and good, could ever allow such horror. This connects to loss, and how the traumatic

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

Elie describes that night saying “never shall I forget that smoke, the small faces of children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky, and those flames that consumed my faith foe ever”. I think that reading what Elie says we imagine a difficult moment he is passing through because he as a child could be traumatize by looking at what he is saying. Also, looking how people get burned we might think that we could be next to get burn in death. In that moment to Elie this event results in a loss of faith, for he cannot fathom how his God would allow innocent babies to perish in such a way. We might think that in that moment Elie don’t trust in God because how can God let people to kill each other or Why does God not help those people who are getting killed. Another image to never forget from the book is when Elie and his father separated from his mother and sister. This moment is unforgettable to Elie and me because the relationship with a mother is strong that when we get separated from a mother in a bad way it’s like something on our heart breaks into pieces and because we don’t know if Elie will see her mother and sister again of if they are going to be burn in death. A sad image from the book is when the SS Officer hangs the little pippel. The little pippel was nice, young innocent kid, but he didn’t

Eliezer and his father never wanted to be separated. But as the book goes on the father gets very sick and Eliezer has to take care of him. While they were waiting in line they watch a load of children go into the fire. After that Eliezer debates running into the electric fence but he doesn’t. Eliezer’s father soon gets very sick and the Nazis ordered him to the furnace and after Eliezer loses his father, he feels a sense of relief because he no longer needs to take care of him but also misses him

The initiating event in the novel The Droughtlanders that got the entire story rolling is when Eli follows his mother and sees her talking to a Droughtlander, the very same people he was taught to hate and despise because of the sickness that they carry. When he sees his mother kiss the Droughtlander he is mortified that that his mother would go anywhere near the people that are considered worse than rats. This leads Eli to question his mother, then question his beliefs, and then follow in his mother’s footsteps to bring the keys down.

While Morrie grew up his mother passed away, and his father was a very unemotional man. He never showed Morrie any love or affection. Not showing love for one’s own child can very well be considered an act of inhumanity. Elie faces inhumanity throughout his own childhood and is forced to grow up very fast. He watches the people of his religion be killed daily, he watches children burn in pits. Even though both books talk about what it takes to be humane they also discuss the terrible theme of inhumanity.

Elie’s faith in his Lord and his instinctive love for humanity are put to their final tests as the novel approaches its climax and conclusion. After witnessing the malicious, brutal hanging of an innocent child, Elie comes to the

They’re trying to throw you out the carriage…” (Wiesel 66). Basically, showing how Eliezer barely thought about whether he had to save his father or not since he wanted to stay with his father throughout the journey until someone passes away. In addition, this exemplifies how Elie’s identity was affected since he was then known to be loyal to his father and he was determined to help his father and to stay with him through thick and thin. This event doesn’t really impact his innocence as much, but it had mainly impacted his identity that the people saw of him since Elie showed great characteristics that stood out considering his age and the amount of stress he has been put

For example during a long run to switch facilities a man and his son are running side by side but start to split Elie says“He wanted to be rid his father”(91). This shows how an intense lifestyle such as this tears their relationship apart as if you would slow down to much on a run you would be killed this son obviously thought that his father was dead weight and he selfishly abandon him. In comparison with Elie and his father this son showed no empathy as Elie did and he just abandon his father. Another demonstration of the betrayal and lack of empathy would come from when Elie and his father are in a cattle car on there way to a new camp. There packed in tight with dozens of other prisoners two of which Elie notices are a father and son bread ends up in the father's hand then this happens“Don't you recognize me...You're killing your father”(101). This event shows just how selfish and heartless many were made to be. Though they were father and son they acted as strangers would with no mercy and only emotion being a will to live.This aswell shows just how independent the son had become,rather then work together he’d rather fight to get food.Elie and his father stayed close in the camps unlike the many other fathers and sons that broke down under the poor

In chapters 7-9 the relationship between Elie and his father has grown greatly. They have grown together so much from the beginning of the book. They went from not talking to each other, to being the only reason they would survive and fight off what has happened. They relied on each other to survive because they had no one else but themselves.

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

Approximately fourteen million people died during the Holocaust, and losing innocence was just a part of the objectification process. After going through the process and staying alive, innocence would be almost impossible to keep grasp of, considering the fact that once it is lost innocence can never be regained. In Night on page 55, Elie said “He told us that having been chosen because of his strength, he had been forced to place his own father’s body into the furnace." Every time Elie heard something as terrible as this he lost innocence but gained wisdom in a sense of avoiding death. He would see, hear, and even almost taste so many lives around him being thrown away as if they were nothing, but he had to see this in order to know what and

In the same way, one's spirit is a very intricate thing to mess with. Our society today, everyone is own person, it is the survival of the fittest. To illustrate, the way the author of the book, night wrote the story as if he is taking the reader there. The protagonist in the story Elie started as a strong-willed individual. As much as possible he tried to keep a positive attitude in what is happening in their town. This was proven in the start of the story where he kept on wanting to turn away form worrying about the war. Busying himself in studying the Jewish mysticism with his mentor Moishe the Beadle but that is before everything went downhill.

As the relationship between Oskar and Eli continues to blossom, Oskar finds out that Eli lives off blood to survive. After this realization, there is a scene where Eli arrives at Oskar’s house. Oskar attempts to let her in by motioning and gesturing but she refuses to cross the threshold. She finally enters without his permission, causing her to bleed from every opening on her face, turning her into a grotesque image of her true vampiric form. This causes Oskar to give her permission to enter. This scene symbolizes the finality of the relationship between Oskar and Eli. Eli is a violent murderer, and Oskar has violent ambitions, and this is the moment where Eli attempts to turn those ambitions into reality. The way the shots of Oskar and Eli are composed suggest a
