Since Lincoln obviously let his brother win a few times, we are shown that, Booth knew he would cheat him out again, yes even his own brother. He knew that his brother wouldn’t try, until he is taunted by the winnings of money. His brother Booth could show, not only his brother this fact, but us as readers, we are able to look at this deeper. We need to analyze why he had a gun with a rolled-up sock of money. He easily could have just stolen another $500 worth of stuff.

(11) This indicates that Eckels shallowly and selfishly values money above many other things, including but not limited to his impact on Time and History when he veered off the Path.

Night by Elie Wiesel shows when humans are put in horrible situations, the acts of selfishness greatly increase. The book shows that when humans are in crisis like the Holocaust everyone is desperate to survive, so they will do anything they can to get their basic needs. The people forgot who they are as human, and how it made Elie and others act differently towards each other. Elie Wiesel, and everyone who he meets along the way want to survive this, at times they forget why they want to live. But no one wants to get defeated by the Germans.

I personally believe that Elie Wiesel is inaccurate with his claim. He states that “Remembering the Holocaust will help ensure that this type of atrocity does not occur in the future”. I strongly disagree with Elie’s claim because even if people understand this dramatic event, there is always going to be evil in the world and not everyone is going to care about the devastation of these events. Some people will wreck havoc among us, and we can’t stop it with an explanation of what happened last time. We as people need to stop obsessing over the past, and look into our futures, and how we will make the world a better place throughout the future.
