"Night, No one was praying for the night to pass quickly" (Wiesel 21)

Eliezer and his family were moved to the small ghetto and is currently waiting to get moved to the Nazi camps.

While awaiting to get moved to the Nazi camps Eliezer Struggles with religious faith because he's unsure what's going to happen to him and the others and doesn't want to pray for the night to go quickly. This event is demonstrating Eliezer lack of faith during this event due to him being under stress and being unsure about his fate.

In chapter 2 it describes Eliezer experience in the train and how theirs a Woman named "Mrs. Schachter" going crazy and having hallucination of a big fire.

This event is important because at first the people in the car would strike the woman for trying to warn the Jews about a big fire, but since the Jews couldn't see anything they wouldn't believe her. Then when the Jew arrived at the concentration camps the first thing they realized was the smell of burning fresh and a big fire. This event shows that Eliezer is

In chapter 3 it describes Eliezer and his father's experience at the concentration camps after being separated from his family and it describes the process of the steps they had to do when arriving at Auschwitz- Birkenau.

This Moment is significant for Eliezer character development because it causes him to start struggling with religious faith because while being at the concentration camp he would see jews and his father pray to God. This caused him to feel anger because he thought to himself" what was there to thank Him for"

( Wiesel 65 )

In chapter 4, we get to learn that Eliezer and his father get assigned to an Electrical Kommando and we get to learn how Eliezer gets abused by A capo name idek.

These events are important in Elizer life because we get to learn about Eliezer job and how he started to get abused while being at the camps. This causes Eliezer to start struggling with religous faith because he would think why would his god allow him and the Jews to go through this suffering.

In chapter 5 Eliezer and his father describes how they endured the Jewish holidays in the concentration camp, where they rebelled against god by refusing to fast on Yom Kippur,all while this is happening Eliezer father avoids selection and Eliezer undergoes surgery on his swollen foot.

This event is important because it shows how Eliezer and his father put themselves first over God because they knew if they fasted on Yom kippur it would have led to them being weak and fragile. This could have led to Elizer and his father being selected during the selection to be killed. This event connects to the theme Survive vs the collective good because they choose what was best for them during these circumstances over God and his religious holiday.

In chapter 6, it describes how Eliezer and the other prisoners were forced to march to Gleiwitz in snowy cold weather.

This event is important because it pushes Eliezer to his limit due to him having an injury on his leg he is forced to run for hours in cold snowy weather. This event is also important because Eliezer pointed out in the book that the only thing that is keeping him going is his dad because without Eliezer his dad would have been most likely dead. This connects to the theme Family Loyalty and obligation because it shows how much Eliezer cares and values his dad which he pushes himself for him so he can take care of him and protect him.

In chapter 7, Eliezer describes the terrible events they had experience on the train taking them from Buna to Buchenwald, where every few stops the SS officers would throw out the dead prisoners on the train, and how everyone on the train was starving for food and every time a worker would throw a piece of bread they would go to extreme extents like killing each other and betraying each other just for a piece of bread.

these events connect to the theme of state sponsored violence because it shows how the Nazis made the prisoners lose their humanity and making them even kill their loves ones just for a piece of bread, which cause prisoners like Eliezer to not care anymore when they'll die due to witnessing all the horrific event they loss hope and didn't care if they die now, later, or even tomorrow.

In chapter 8, Eliezer and his father arrive at Buchenwald, where Eliezer father becomes very sick to the point Eliezer can't no longer take care of him, this caused Eliezer father to sadly pass away.

This event is significant because it starts to show how Eliezer character starts to change from a caring person to an egotistic person because he starts to have self fish thoughts. For example, he thought that without his father he would be able to relieve himself from taking care of him and how he could use that extra strength to fight for his own survival . This demonstrates how Eliezer starts to realize his Father is becoming a burden to him and only holding him back. This event relates to the theme "Individual survival vs the Collective Good" because Eliezer starts to realize his father's death could relieve him from many responsibilities. This shows how Eliezer is picking his own safety and survival over doing the right thing and taking care of his dad.

In Chapter 9, the wheel on history turned and the resistance movement invaded Buchenwald, armed men appeared everywhere and a battle started against the SS officers; a battle that didn't last long because the SS officers fled the scene.

The day of liberation has finally come and Eliezer has been free by the resistance army, but you might think after everything that has happened Eliezer would've wanted some type of revenge for everything the Nazi have put him and the Jews through, but all he could think about is only bread. This event relates to the theme "Individual survival vs the collective good" because he no longer cares about getting revenge for his father, Mother, or sister death but only cares about his life and well being.
