Night blog
Prompt:
Throughout your reading of Night, you have witnessed many significant changes that Wiesel experiences as a result of his time in the concentration camps. I encourage you to delve deeply into his character and focus on important aspects, such as: his personality, morality, beliefs or values.
Through out the book "night" by Elie Wiesel, I think that Elie changed tremendously from the beginning of the book to the middle to the end. This happened with religion throughout the book because in the beginning he believed in God before he was old enough to start in the middle he started losing faith and at the end he says that his God is dead. On the first page of the book it states "during the day I studied Talmud, and at night I ran to the synagogue." It says in the book how he decided to start practicing his religion before anyone told him to, so this shows that he is really religiously devoted.
In the middle of the book when Elie Wisel get to the camp and witnesses the horror that went on he starts to think that God is not real or that he just does not care. I thought that this was really weird how he started to doubt his God after all that he praised him, in the book it states "for the first time...I felt why... Should I sanctify his name..." This really shows how the concentration camps broke his soul as well as his body and how he could just give everything up, even his religion.
At the end of the book or at least close to it he really just gives up
and explicitly states that there is no point in living which really
shows that he does not believe in God at all anymore. In the book
it states " I had nothing to say of my life during this time." I
thought that this really showed how much his father meant to him
and how his God had taken him from him.
