LOSING FAITH
Have you ever believed in something when
you were a kid, and out of no where you just don’t believe any more? Well, Elie
felt that same way with God. Well being in concentration camp Elie has been
losing faith in God little by little. Now, when the end is near Elie prays once
in a while. Having selection, choosing who will live and die, Elie is happy
because he passed, but when he finds out that his father didn’t, he starts to
worry. His father says his good byes to his son thinking it’s the end for him.
Image thinking your parents telling you good bye? It will hurt a lot. Elie
comes back knowing that his father passed the second selection. After, its
winter and Elie gets his foot swollen by the cold. He ends up going to the
infirmity and well all this is happening, the Germans keep coming closer to the
camp. The Nazis tell the people in the infirmity that they won’t be leaving the
camp. Elie doesn’t want to be separated by his father so; he tells the doctor
that he feels better with his foot. All this happened in CH. 5 and if this
happened to you……. Would you have done the same thing? Knowing that if you
stayed, you would be liberated but separated from your parents? What would YOU do?
