Elie's thoughts show that he had lost his faith pretty much completely and is more concerned about how God is not helping the men and instead waiting and watching the pain of them. As it says on pg. 68 "But look at these men whom You have betrayed, allowing them to be tortured, slaughtered, gassed, and burned, what do they do? They pray before You! They praise Your name!"

Elie's actions on page 68-69 show that he cares about his father and wants to be with him at all times. As it said on page 68 "I ran to look for my father... He was leaning against the wall, bent shoulders sagging as if under a heavy load. I went up to him, took his hand and kissed it...Never before had we understood each other so clearly."

Elie's thoughts show that he is having a rough relationship with God. He is losing his faith toward him and doubting to pray. Elie is mostly angry at him for not doing anything while Elie is just watching men being tortured and he keep asking him self "Where is this God?" On page 66 it states, "What are You, my God? I thought angrily. Why do you go on troubling these poor peoples wounded minds, their ailing bodies?" Pg 67- "Blessed be Gods name? Why, but why would I bless him?"

Elies actions are brave and even though Elie is exhausted and furious, he listens very well and respects what he is told to do. On page 72 it states, "It was my turn. I ran without looking back. Exhausted." Pg 73- "With all my strength I began to race toward Block 36." Pg 68- "But now, I no longer pleaded for anything. I was no longer able to lament. On the contrary, I felt very strong."

Elie's thoughts through the book like on pages 67-68 show how his faith and hope in his God and religion was lost because of the horrors he was living through and just could not understand why it was happening even though his beliefs were so strong before the Nazis came.

Elie's actions and speech on page 73 also shows how much he loves his father and does not want him to die or be separated from him.

I was concerned when the "veterans" were telling Elie about what happened in Buna. The way they talked about it and laughed when Elie asked them to stop telling the story.

I was happy when Elie's father survived the second election.

Elie's thoughts show that he no longer has faith in god. He is angry that God is not doing anything about the Nazi's.

On page 75, Elie's action shows how much he cares about his father. When his father is giving him the knife and spoon saying how he wouldn't need it anymore, Elie tells his father not to talk like that. He states that he was on the verge of breaking into sobs.

Ellies thoughts represent the battle going on inside of him whit god. Before the camp all he ever did was study his religion and praise the god he believed. Now that hes seen so many awful and cruel things, his connection with god has dissapointed.

Ellis actions show his persistance. When going through the selection he ran as fast as he could and tried his best to look lively. He did this even when all that was on his mind was if his father was going to be ok. As well as being under the harsh conditions of the camp.
