         <description><![CDATA[<p>"Were this conflagration to be extinguished one day, nothing would be left in the sky but extinct stars and unseeing eyes"(Wiesel 21)</p><p><br/></p><p>As Eliezer's family started settling in the small ghetto with not many people, night came in which they hoped time would go slower since the next day they would be forced to go toward a station to the final place no one knew where.</p><p><br/></p><p>Eliezer's faith in God is being doubted after his whole life was forcefully changed by the Germans. He believes God is blind to what Eleizer was facing and that he didn't do anything to prevent this tragedy from happening.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>"For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why should I sanctify His name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank Him for?"(Wiesel 33)</p><p><br/></p><p>Many people started saying prayers for a miracle to happen because the path they were in led to the crematorium but this made anger rise in Eliezar as to why people were praising God in such a horrible situation.</p><p><br/></p><p>This event signifies that Eliezar was questioning his hope in God. He felt despair and pain on why God was not helping him in this place when other times he did and now is being left alone in this dark misery</p>]]></description>

         <title>A New Situation</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>"No one felt like beating her anymore. The heat, the thirst, the stench, that lack of air, were suffocating us. Yet all that was nothing compared to her screams, which tore us apart. A few more days and all of us would have started to scream"(Weisel 26)</p><p><br/></p><p>Forced into a wagon train by the Nazis for hours, Eliezer and many were cramped and exhausted but that was not worse than the constant screaming from a lady that almost drove all to crazy.</p><p><br/></p><p>Eliezer no longer thought of his survival since everyone was now faced in the same horrid situation. It wouldn't be long until everyone would go out of their minds and accept their new reality that no one would be able to help.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>"But we no longer feared death, in any event not this particular death. Every bomb that hit filled us with joy, gave us renewed confidence"(Weisel 60)</p><p><br/></p><p>Everyone hid inside as sirens went off signaling an attack, but the prisoners weren't afraid if bombs were raining down on them since the attacks were a quicker death than being in such a dreadful place.</p><p><br/></p><p>Eliezer's mind now viewed this terrifying situation as a miracle of joy. As bombs rapidly hit, every attack felt like a possible chance of freedom from escaping this world.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>"On the contrary, I felt strong. I was the accuser, God the accused. My eyes had opened and I was alone, terribly alone in a world without God, without man."(Weisel 68)</p><p><br></p><p>Men participated in a solemn service and were reciting prayers to God but Eliezer just watched no longer feeling the need to pray.</p><p><br></p><p>Eleizer now sees God as the reason why these awful things were taking place and giving up his faith in God. He felt he could no longer be saved by saying prayers and so now he didn't have anyone to lean on anymore but just himself.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>"This was it: the end of the road. A silent death, suffocation. No way to scream, to call for help."(Wiesel 94)</p><p><br/></p><p>Having been settled in the barracks of Gleiwitz, multiple bodies were stacked onto another by the exhaustion of the march, Eliezer was now being crushed and slowly suffocating by the dying bodies.</p><p><br/></p><p>When it came to death, Eliezer felt the acceptance of his fate without struggle or fear. No hope left in surviving and no point to continue on.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>"Our minds were numb with indifference. Here or elsewhere, what did it matter? Die today or tomorrow, or later? The night was growing longer, never-ending."(Weisel 98) </p><p><br></p><p>The SS now shoved the Eliezer and the rest of the Jews inside a long train with barely any space to move, the coldness of the air made the Jews go in a huddle seeking for warmth</p><p><br></p><p>The absent concern of death made Eliezer feel as if it didn't matter where he died or when, he didn't care. He was lacking the hope of living with the long tortuous days he spent in the camp.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>"I did not weep, and it painted me that I could not weep. But I was out of tears. And deep inside me, if I could have searched the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last!"(Wiesel 112)</p><p><br></p><p>When Eliezer woke up, he found another person laying on his fathers bunk, they had taken his father to the crematorium, without saying his final goodbye the only last words of his father was Eliezers name in which he had not responded to yesterday.</p><p><br></p><p>Eliezer no longer had the strength or ability to shed tears, they were all wasted on the tragedies he had suffered since the beginning of the camp. Even though his dad had died, Eliezer felt there was a tiny spark in his heart telling him he was finally free of the burden that had carried him until this day.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>"From the depth of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me. The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me"(Wiesel 115)</p><p><br/></p><p>After being freed from the camps, Eliezer was transferred to a hospital from the illnesses he now had, not being able to look at himself since the ghetto and now having the chance, looked into a mirror and saw his body looked like a corpse.</p><p><br/></p><p>As his eyes fixated onto the mirror, what reflected back was a body withered with scars, inflicted with the pain, wounds of his agony and the horrific past he had now endured. The vivid events of terror were engraved deep in his mind, being something he will never forget about.</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>
