Book Report On Night By Elie Wiesel

His father, Shlomo Wiesel, becomes very weak while in Auschwitz, and Elie has to take extra care of him. Shlomo nearly starves Elie by taking his daily rations of food and is in constant need of Elies rescue, making him more of a burden than a help. When Shlomo, Elie’s father, first becomes sicker (and weaker) Elie starts to give him extra portions of his own food.

Luckily for Elie and his family in the ghetto his father was quite a big person or was very well known in the ghetto community. So this is an advantage because his family was able to get it easier because people would trade food to get advice from elie’s father. In the book it even talks about how Elie’s uncle had left to somewhere and his uncle had left food because it wasn’t needed.

The food that he did receive was a small bowl of soup and a piece of bread, and these meals were infrequent. Through all this Elie's strong will to make it through is pushed out. An

However, Elie’s father begins to grow weaker and weaker as time passes, which leads Elie to take the role of his father and provide a sense of hope and safety for his dad. When the book starts, Elie is only a 15 year old child, but as his path through Auschwitz and Buna passes, he develops into a man who is able to comprehend the real world and tackle problems. This is evident towards the end of the book, in section 8, when Elie is faced with the decision to provide eat or give food to his frail father. On Page 107, Elie has just found his father has not ate in about a day, has gotten beat, and is sick. The quote reads “When they allowed us to return to the blocks, I rushed toward

In 1944, Elie Wiesel was only 15 when his family was stripped of their natural rights and forcefully transported into the most well-known concentration camp, Auschwitz. Beginning in 1941 and officially ending in 1945, the Holocaust was a genocide of anti-semitism. In Night, Elie Wiesel shares his experience of facing extreme racism within the concentration camps by facing starvation, torture, and even death. The concentration camp ended up being survival of the fittest, only those who crave to survive survived. Though, in Night, two characters who portray conflicts with survival are Mrs. Schacter with the loss of her family and Elie stretched between picking his father or himself.

As he found himself around people and an ambient where everyone survives for himself, he became aware that he has many responsibilities to do compared to his before concentration camp life. Elie develops new ideas based on the responsibilities that each individual possesses as he confronts with corruption. As he encountered with his father’s hard sickness, Elie understood that he holds many burdens that should be completed, since he wasn’t a child anymore. Now it was his time to take care of him as he did once for Elie, illustrated as he says "I gave him what was left of my soup. But my heart was heavy.

They did this because they felt that their dad’s were a burden on their shoulders as if they were slowing them down and the kids could survive without them. Elie once had these feelings about his dad when in the book he said that he thought his dad was dead, but Elie instantly regretted these thoughts because he had to protect his dad. Elie thought that if his dad died, he would no longer have a reason to live. Elie felt very strong about his dad because he was always protecting him and not letting him die, in one situation he would not let the other Jews throw him out of the cattle cart when they were on their way to Gleiwitz. But contrary to that Elie did give his father water when he had dysentery and Elie gave into the demands of his father.

Decision Making by Elie in Night The decisions made by Elie Wiesel in the book Night both positively and negatively impacted his life. These were decisions that the author thought were best for him or for his mother, sister and father. However, the particular decisions made by the boy in Night affected his identity, innocence, and significantly changed his view of life during his experience in the holocaust.

Think of a circumstance where you were so hungry and thirsty, that you did not even care to think about your father anymore. That circumstance goes against common father-son relationships. The common father-son motif is where the father looks out and cares for the son. In the book “Night” by Elie Wiesel, he explains why the circumstances around a father-son relationship can change their relationship, whether it 's for the better or the worse. Since the book is about the life of Elie in a Nazi concentration camp, the circumstances were harsh and took a toll on multiple father-son relationships.

To summarize, Elie should be getting more rations in order to become stronger and do more work which would increase his chances of survival. As a result, food became important resource since it gave workers the energy they need to perform their duties. Through this interaction, the fellow prisoner wants Elie to put his survival over family relationships and to cut ties with his father. Similarly, in the film Life is Beautiful, when Joshua shows up at the foundry, Guido tells to him to go back to the other children. In other words, Joshua should stay away as a result of his father’s work in a dangerous area.

The empathy he felt for his father is what drove him to stay alive, to fight for his life. Without his father, he would have given into exhaustion long before the American tanks arrived at the camp. Elie's father gave him strength, therefore giving him resilience. Strong people are resilient people; it took everything Elie had to keep himself alive. In the times he wanted so badly just to lie down, to give up it was his father's presence which kept him alive.

The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events in history. It just so happened to be the cause of six million deaths. While there are countless beings who experienced such trauma, it is impossible to hear everyone's side of the story. However, one man, in particular, allowed himself to speak of the tragedies. Elie Wiesel addressed the transformation he underwent during the Holocaust in his memoir, Night.

Elie did struggle with the reasoning that his father is most certainly dying with dysentery. Elie goes from being embarrassed and rather ashamed of his father at first, to then try to keep his father through one more day and one more night. Elie decides to take care of his father. Until his father Chlomo passes away. He almost feels "a sense of relief.

First, Elie's relationship with his father changes. At the beginning of the book, he at least has a little bit to do with his father, and he cares about him. However, he gave ‘him what was left of [his] soup. But [his] heart was heavy. [He] was aware that [he] was doing it grudgingly.

When Elie 's father got very ill the soldiers stopped giving him food so Elie shared half of his food with his father. The food was barely enough for one person and now he had to share with his father. As the days went on his father got worst and Elie knew his father would die soon. Elie know in the camp it was every man for themselves and the thought of sharing his food and its all being wasted keeps coming into his head.
