So far, Night has been very deep. The book is very sad and it has moments that I am just shocked of what went down in the Holocaust. In the beginning, the book starts out with not such a sad tone, but then when we started to read the rest of the chapters, they began to start getting sad. At first, the book makes it seem as if nothing bad will happen and that the people only had to move because of the war. After, the book showed how they were actually going to torture or kill the Jews instead. The part that was really sad was when they were burning the babies in the cremator and also just the fact that they were sending the people to the camps.
When it comes to the religion part of Elie, I think he is beginning to forget the reason for why he even believes in God. In the second chapter, they ask Elie what was the reason for why he prays. He did not know how to answer this question so he just told the man, “I don’t know why.” This shows that he prays but he doesn’t even know why he does it. He thought that it was a dumb question to ask and that it was an obvious answer. Even though it was a simple question, Elie still did not know what he was supposed to say. He does not really understand himself when it comes to the fact of his religion and how he is part of that. I predict that Elie will lose all of the faith he had in God.
The people who are in the concentration camp turn to religion, faith and God. They all think they will break out of that place soon if they just believe that God will make it happen. They are kind of just passing by through the day knowing that God will finish it all. It is sad because you can tell that in the end, the ones who thought they were going to survive will eventually die.
My predictions for the rest of the book is that Elie will eventually have to either fight back or break away from the concentration camp that he is stuck in with the rest of the Jews.
