Another even is when Rabbi Eliahu came looking for his son and Ellie had praid to not be like Rabbi’s son.” in spite of myself, a prayer formed inside me, a prayer to this god in whom I no longer believed. ‘ oh God, master of the universe, give me the strength to never do what Rabbi Eliahu’s son has done’” this shows that Ellie maybe coming full circle and going to start to take back his faith.

The last event that was important to the plot was that Ellie isn’t affected by people deing around him “I tore at decaying flesh that did not respond, I could not free myself of that mass weighing down my chest. Who knows? Was i struggling with a dead man” Ellie had very little conser about the possible dead man granted he was being stufacated by if it was earlier in the book he possibly could have felt sad for the man.  

2. another big event was when they reached an abandoned village where the SS officers let everyone take a break but many people were freezing to death "beneath our feet there lay men, crushed, trampled underfoot, dying. nobody paid attention to them." "all around me, what appeared to be a dance of death." elie was surrounded by dead people the whole  journey.
3. the next big event was when they arrived at gleiwitz, they were all shoved into the barrack there was no room resulting in people getting crushed "my father an i were thrown to the ground by this rolling tide."

this all helped the story move forward by showing his journey to liberation

The prisoners are already in bad shape at the beginning of the march, but these conditions are murderous.
