CH.8 SeCtIoN 1 .....
1.Elzier treats his father like a sick person. His father is dying and needs care so Wiesel has to take care of him. Wiesel father try hard to survive. His father did not like the facts that his son was caring for him.
2. I think that his attitude toward his father was understandable. I think that he was mad because he was the one that had to care for his father but he was not in his right state of mind so that is why he kind of acted like that.
3.Elzier cried when the little boy in the story was hung. He knew that it was wrong and that they should not have done that. He did not cry when his father died becuase he did not know how to feel anymore he was not capable of crying.
4.He was very sick and he had food poising. I would tell him that he is a very strong person and im sorry for all his loss and that it was very sad and tragic what happened to him. I would want him to explain to me the living conditions and stuff like that.

Ch. 4 QuEsTiOnS!!!!!!! PaRt 1
I think that they are crying because the boy is so young. I think it made it more sad because he suffered he did not die imediatly. They cried because they could not help him and they had to watch him hang there in pain. What was meant by god was with him in the gallows was that he was there dying like his faith was dying. It symbolizes that his faith was dying. It will change him because he will not ne religious. It will make his look on the camp different to becuase he will look at the officers as even more horrble and evil people than they already are. If he looses his faith that will just make him weak. He already looks at the camp as a hell so i think that it will not really make his outlok on the camp that much different.
ch 3 questions
•
•Part1- he questioned his faith a lot. He did not believe that god was watching over him because bad things were happening. His family had been taken to a concentration camp and they were being treated poorly. That is why he was questioning his faith. I personally do belive in god and there are times I wonder why god lets things happen but everything happens for a reason its just part of gods plan.
•Part 2- the Nazis were horrible people. They would tell the people things like “poor devils your going to the crematory” and a sign that read" warning danger of death”. My family has been striped away from me before. When I was locked up. My family was also taken away from me when my dad gets locked up. I know it sucks to be away from your family and that it Is sad. The Nazis would take families and tear them apart from each other.
•Part 3- They are obeying them because they are scared. They are obeying them because they have no other choice. If they do not listen they will have a horrible punishment. They would be tortured and starved and killed. They would not revolt because they are scared of what will happen . They did not have any weapons either and they did. They had an advantage. I think that they also don’t team up because some of the people are to scared to.
