God? Fades or Stays? Jackiee Salinas Per 2

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.

-Jewish women going through an inspection-

Eli and his father are in Buna and they are all assigned to a certain block and a Kapo. Eli’s Kapo is Idek. Idek is very short tempered and will take out his anger on anybody who gets in his way. They’re all put through medical inspection to be searched for any gold teeth or valuable possessions. They’re assigned to a certain block with a group of musicians. They work in a warehouse fixing electrical equipment. They were only given a blanket, washbowl, and a bar of soap. Eli is told to go to the dentist to get his teeth inspected for any gold fillings. He puts it off for a few days until the dentist gets fired for stealing and selling the gold fillings he extracted from other Jews. While Eli is working in his lock, he gets in Idek’s way during one of his fits of rage. Everyone watched as he was beat for doing absolutely nothing. The mysterious French girl tried to reassure him to not lose hope. She said to him, “Bite your lips, little brother…Don’t cry. Keep your anger, your hate, for another day, for later. The day will come but not now…Wait. Clench your teeth and wait…” (53) —Flash forward—Eli is in Paris at a metro and he notices a French woman that looks familiar to him. It turned out to be the young French girl who dried his tears years ago. A few days later when they’re all busy loading diesel engines onto trucks, Eli’s father gets in Idek’s way. Eli feels the fury crawling up his skin. Why must his father be so stupid? “Why couldn't he have avoided Idek’s wrath? “ (54) The foreman Franek was actually a nice man, but if he  didn't get his way…you’d suffer the consequences. Franek found out about Eli’s gold tooth and he wants to keep for to himself. He forces Eli to give him his gold tooth and he believed that if he did then Frank will follow through with his agreement and stop torturing his dad. Of course Franek doesn't keep his agreement. 

We chose this image because the Jew is being
whipped as Eli was after his encounter with Idek.

You might think the beating in this section is over, but Eli suffers one more but this time it was his own fault. On a Sunday, Idek decides to send his Kommando to the depot under Franek’s command. Everyone was so confused. Why were they there on a Sunday? Eli, out of curiosity decided to find out why, and when he did his thoughts put him in a lot of trouble. “Just you wait, kid…You will see what it costs to leave your work…You’ll pay for this later…And now go back to your place…” (57). He gets whipped in front of everyone 25 times. He passes out cause of the pain. Why? He got whipped simply because he laughed at the view of Idek fooling around with a girl. How pathetic is that? To scare Eli into staying quiet, he tortured the young boy. 

This image shows men at the gallows.
It represents the 2 main hangings in section 4.

 After that incident, the camp was attacked. All the Jews remained hidden−all but one. This brave man used this attack as an advantage to get to the cauldrons of soup. He was hung. Eli felt no pity for the man. After his hanging, Eli devoured the soup as if it was the best feast anyone could have. That wasn't the case when a young boy, a pipel, was hung. Eli couldn't bear to see the child being hung, watching the life slowly suck out of him. He couldn't enjoy the soup that day.

Hanging Situations Ivy Mach-1

Elie Wiesel and his father remain in the camp, Buna. After, they gotten a medical and a dental check up. One of the doctors noticed a golden tooth in Elie's mouth and was told that he was to come back and have it removed. Elie holded back on going to the dentist, saying that he was sick. eventually the doctor was hanged for pocketing all the golden tooth. Afterwards, they were assigned to a Kapo. They were assigned to a Kapo named Idek. Some of the past prisoners told them that they were assigned to a good Kapo, but to beware of his short temper and don’t get in his way or there will be consequences. They worked in an electrical warehouse unit. One day, Idek had a need to throw his temper on someone and Elie was a perfect fit for it. He was punched and kicked. A French Aryan girl that sat next to him during work tries to comfort him after. Soon Elie's father was a victim of Idek's rampages and Elie had no pity for him. One day, Idek made his group march to a block and stand there all afternoon. Elie got curious and started wandering around inside a block. He found Idek and a German girl doing things. Idek was furious and made Elie give up his gold crown as for a pay back. A few weeks later, Idek was sent to another camp. A prisoner was found stealing food that was later going to be distributed, was hanged. Also three prisoners was found with possession of wepons and was hanged. Elie was so scared that even food didn't seem appealing anymore.

"The murder of god " Section 4-Kimberly Canizalez per.4

In chapter four Elie and his father remain at Buna. After, the prisoners got a medical and dental examination they were chosen by a Kapo to work in a unit. Luckily Eliezer and his father were placed together in a warehouse for electrical equipment. Idek, their Kapo has a very short temper and is best to stay out of his way. In this musician block Eliezer meets Juliek,Yosi, and Tibi. Eliezer is called to the dentist to have his gold crown removed but he manages to put off the tooth removal by saying he's sick. Soon after, the dentist is punished for pocketing some gold crowns and even though the dentist had a tragic death Elie felt no pity for him. Idek lost his temper and beat Eliezer, the "Aryan" French girl tried to comfort him by telling him to not lose hope. Not long after Elies father was a victim of one of Ideks violent rages. This caused Elie to feel anger towards his father for not knowing to stay away. This is an example of how the camp has changed Eliezer. Franek the prisoner’s foreman notices Elies gold crown and ask for it and Elie refuses to give it to him as his father told him not to. Yet Franek didn’t give up and began abusing Elies father until Elie finally gave up and gave him his gold crown. Days later all prisoners are transferred to a different camp and Elie realizes he gave up his crown for nothing. On a Sunday, there was an air raid were all prisoners were to remain in there block and if found at sight they were to be shot. These prisoners were left with two cauldrons soup as they all longed for it but did not dare to get it because they were scared to leave the barrack. Only one prisoner dare to risk his life as the others watched him and as he stuck his head in the soup he was shot. A week later the SS officers had this hanging ceremony were two men and a little boy were hanged. The prisoners felt that the hang of the child was an act of cruelty and Elie feels that god died along with the boy. This shows that Elies religious beliefs have completely been destroyed. In my opinion I believe that Elie is a completely different person now because he no longer has faith and as time goes by he will just become worst and grow hate within him.

"Night" Section 4-Hilary Duarte per. 2

In section 4 of "Night" Elie and his father  remain at Buna. Here they are placed too work in a warehouse counting electrical fittings. They are placed here along with Jewish muscians and the block is headed by a kind German Jew, but with a Kapo who sometimes has "fits a madness" and releases his anger on the Jews. Not long after working here Elie is called to the dentist to have his gold crown removed, but Elie is clever and holds off his dentist appoinment long enough until the dentist is hanged  for trading the gold for his own well-being. Even though the dentist dies a tragic death Elie feels no pity for him because he is too concerned for himself and his own well-being. One day as Elie is working at the warehouse, Idek has one of his fits and needlessly beats.After Elie  finds comfort with a French girl who works next to him whom he thought spoke no German , but finds out that she speaks fluently.  Not long after Elie's own father is victim to one of Ideks's rampages as well. After Elie finds himself mad at his father for not being able to stay away from Idek and realizes how much the camps have changed him. Days later a prison foreman sees Elies's gold crown and asks for it. Elie refuses to give it up as advice from his father. The foreman starts to beat his father until Elie gives up the crown. Days later the Polish prisoners are transferered to another camp and Elie feels as if he gave up his crown for nothing. During an air raid to Buna 2 cauldronsof soup are left unattended in the middle of the camp and all the prisoners are staring at them with hunger in their eyes, but no one dares to get any for fear of death. One man steps out of his block and just as he is about to feed himself he is shot. Days later two men and a little boy are hung form the gallows . Elie says that if there is a God how could he l;et a little boy be hung and realizes that his faith has been shattered.

this shows the hangings of the men and boy 

toruting a jewish prisoner.

religous belief

As the crowd weeps , death appears ,beliefs fade .As Elie views the hangs of three prisoners and of a young weak boy .The boy manages to take a few minutes to live before he dies and is left hanging. Elies voice stays silent , as the rest do , but his religous faith fades , he yet hears men pray for god. The feeling he gets when his belief fades appears again , the first when he see's his father being beaten by the gypsy overseer.Elie stands and watches his father gain pain . His faith fades from god and as well as for his father . Seeing the poor , weak biy just hang , bones showing , tongue still red, just hanging for a while till he can't last .The emotions were undescribeable , watching a young boy die in front of everyone in the concentration camp .I think through out the story , Elie changes the way of seeing things in life .In the beginning , he believed in god , and as time passes by , the believe in god fades .The things he thought of first in life before living in the camps , they change .
