Chapter 5 During the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel changes from a Spiritual and a boy with faith, to a cold hearted, spiritually dead emotional man. And throughout chapter we can see how he questions God, and also to do things such as a protest, or a sign to rebel against God.”Why, but why should I bless him?Every fiber in me rebelled. Because he caused thousands of children to burn in his Mass grave? Because in His great might, he had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death?”. He also questions God in many other ways. And later he explains how he doesn’t care if God punished him or not, or he wouldn’t beg for his life.” But now i no longer pleaded in my life for anything.I was no longer to lament. I was the accuser, …show more content…
Suddenly it became every man for himself. The prisoners turned so cruel and bad for their own survival. Everybody would fight for crumbs of bread on the floor, doing whatever it took to get some food. In chapter 7, an old man got a piece of bread, by also dying as he ate it. ”I saw, not far from me, an old man dragging on all fours. He had detached himself from the struggling mob. He was holding his heart with one hand. At first I thought he had received a blown to the chest. Then I understood: he was hiding a piece of bread under his shirt.” This old man came out almost dead to get himself a piece of bread. And later he died with it in his hand, and when his son recovered it, two men that had been watching, jumped him, and left him dead next to his father. This is one reason Elie didn’t turn inhumane because he knew that he couldn’t get a piece of bread, or even if he did, he wouldn’t get far from all the hungry prisoners. Also he knew that is he died, his father would die because all they had was each other, and also Elie helped him get past almost every problem they had. One example was that when they were getting on the train, the prisoners had to recover the dead prisoners and throw them in the wagon, and that was were Elie’s dad was going to be, but Elie did his best to wake him up. If I was in a concentration camp, it wouldn’t go good. First of all, I don’t like when people are treated like if they weren’t human, and …show more content…
Three ways he could’ve died, is that either an SS officer could’ve shot him cause he thought he was too weak so he shot him to make more space. Another way is that inmates were waiting to be attended by the doctor and when they saw Elie’s father more dead than alive, they must’ve thrown him out as he died. Also, another way is that maybe that he died in that bed and there was nothing anybody could do about it. “I did not weep, and it pained me that I could not weep. But I was out of tears. And deep inside me, if I could have searched the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last!...”. I wasn’t really surprised how Elie reacted when he found out that his father died because he wasn’t that same boy in the beginning of the book. Also he takes it as if it were a pain of his back. And I don’t blame him for his reaction because throughout the book, he has to do a lot for his father could live, by teaching him things like how to march, and what to do with the selection, etc, and even when they took his father from him in the selection, he took the risk of going after him and making a panic that made everybody get out of hand. And now that his father died, I can understand that Elie worrying of his father if he was dying, or a SS guard was going to kill him, or prisoners killing, or because his health was bad, wasn’t going to be a Problem or something to think about anymore. So I understand why he
In this passage, my mother and I listened to a discussion Eliezer and Moishe the Beadle had together. Moishe the Beadle asks Eliezer why does he pray. Eliezer is dumbfounded by the question as he his used to praying regularly. He replies to Moishe he does not know why prays. Moishe later tells him that people should ask God questions even though people won’t understand His reply.
He was broken. Elie’s father was the only one that kept Elie from giving up, but his father died. Elie’s world shattered around

Elie and 1000’s of other people were still on their march to a different camp very far away. Zalman, Elie’s friend was running next to him. Zalman then said that his stomach was about to burst, either from to much running or the lack of food he had. He then fell to the ground and that was the last Elie had seen him ever again.

He hated god at this point. When everyone was praying around him he was not praying but instead thinking. The last time his faith was tested and the time he lost his faith in god was when the piple also known as the sad eyed angle was
Wiesel changes vastly throughout the book, whether it is his faith in God, his faith in living, or even the way his mind works. In the beginning of his memoir, Wiesel appeared to be faithful to God and the Jewish religion, but during his time in concentration camps, his faith in God wavered tremendously. Before his life was corrupted, he would praise God even when he was being transferred to Auschwitz, but after living in concentration camps, he began to feel rebellious against his own religion. In the book, Elie
Because in his great might, He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death…” (Wiesel, 67). Elie acknowledges that he no longer wants to believe in God because he concluded that God is the reason that the Jews are in the circumstance they are in. This is another reason individuals might think Elie is showing lack of spiritual stamina during the Holocaust because Elie begins to consider why he should believe in God when He has created such terrible things throughout the world. On the other hand, Wiesel explains, “And in spite of myself, a prayer formed inside me, a prayer to this God in
