Elie feels a lack of hope in his faith.  Young people in the line to the pit of fire want to revolt, die letting the world know who they are.  The older people, the rabbis convince them to be patient, that God will save them.  Elie feels sad because for the first time in his life, he is questioning his beliefs.
