During Elie Wiesel’s time, the concentration camps were very crucial. During section four Elie is confronted with many things. Throughout that time Elie always stuck with his father he never left his side. He experienced many things. One thing that happened to him was seeing his father get hit right in front of his eyes. He too got many blows. They were the only ones. He also faced the little food they always gave him. In this section Elie and his father and many inmates were shocked from a hanging. The victim was hung because of an air raid he dared to eat unguarded soup. He said the food tasted great that day. Elie said this because he knew that rebelling was the worst thing you can do especially in a concentration camp, however it was considered a great honor to be hung for rebelling. He experienced another hanging but this one was way worse than the last. It involved two men and a small child. The small child was a sign of god to Elie. When the small child was being hanged he said that the soup tasted bitter. He said that because as the little kid was hung he realized that it was similar to his faith in god. The small child was dying slowly and fading slowly just like Elie’s faith toward god.

ReplyDeleteOh this is really good. I like what you said about rebelling and how that was a good thing, but the pipel made him lose faith in God and that made his food bitter.
