In the book of Night  by Elie Wiesel Jews thought that there would be no harm to them well that changed in 1933. In this book it is going to talk about a kid's life named Elie who is a Jew. It is going to explain the journey and experienced that he went through during the Holocaust. Also how he has changed throughout the book about his feelings, religion, family, and more.

In the first part of the book Elie was a very religious and nice person in the beginning. When the Holocaust didn't start yet all Jews thought nothing could had happen to them they didn't believe no danger would come to them. So Elie and his father are really close together. Until one day they attacked the place were Elie and his father lived. They were both sent to a concentration camp. They were put into lines whether which way they would go either to their death or live. Both of them went to the left and they were able to stay alive but they were put into group full of people and that's where they had to stay.

In the place that they were staying Elie’s father asked a question to a Gypsy cause at that time Gypsies were also attacked. When the father asked a question to the gypsy he slapped him and Elie did not do anything about it. He stood their looking at his father laying down on the floor. A quote from the book says, “ I stood petrified. What had happened to me? My father had just been struck, in front of me, and I had not even blinked. I had watched and kept silent” ( 37 ). This proves that it's life or death at this time on protecting their own lives.
Throughout the book Elie feelings had changed for his father. At some times Elie would had to choose himself instead of his father. Elie still cared for his father. A quote from the book says, “ The SS officers were doing the selection: the weak, to the left; those who walked well, to the right.
My father was sent to the left. I ran after him. An SS officer shouted at my back
"Come back!" ( 91 ). In this quote it explains how Elie would still be there for his father whenever something bad is happening because he cares for his father.

Part of the beginning of the book Elie was a religious boy. He loved his God. Elie knew that is God would never fail him and that is God is always protecting him. A quote from the books says, “ I pray to God within me that he will give me the strength to ask him the right questions”. In this quote explains how he goes to his God to guide him for the correct path for his life.

At the end of the book Elie started to lose his religion because his god was not doing anything to stop the misery from the Jews. Elie said that his God stood silent and done nothing to save the people who were suffering from the Holocaust.

Even though Elie and his father had rough times together trying protect one and another even at times they did not want to because they needed to think about themselves too. They still had this connection together that kept them going through even when times got hard they made it out alive together.
