How Does Elie Wiesel Change In Night

How would you feel if you woke up every morning to see people, much less babies, being used as target practice? Some horrible things like this is what Elie Wiesel had to experience everyday while he was so-called, “living” through the holocaust. He was pushed to the inhumane limits in many ways that changed him physically, mentally, and faithfully. Physically, he was hanged dramatically. He went from a healthy boy, to a sickly young man. In the book, one guard said it looked like he was getting crushed by other dying Jews. They were so thin and weak that they were literally smothering each other to death! They didn’t have the strength to push other decaying people off of themselves, which is absolutely horrendous. He was also changed physically by walking a tremendous amount, and getting infection in his foot to the point that they were swelling terribly. They made them walk even when they were in excruciating pain. The physical changes were so dramatic and horrific it got to their heads and made them mentaly unstable!

When he was beaten twenty five times on his back, he was mentally changed because he was angry and he had a new mentality of how cruel these people were. It is only imaginable how horrible these people were treated and how bad they felt. Torturing someone would make every human have a change in their mentality, and it probably wouldn’t be a change for the good. It was also said in the book that his father was hit in the head with a club. It wouldn’t make me feel good to know that my dad was knocked over the head with a club. Knowing that they intestinally hurt his family had to have bothered him furious. If he would have lost his cool, he would have gotten beat as well though and he couldn’t afford that for
