Ineffable

Battles come and go. During the holoucaust, many people were threantened, killed, and emotionally tortured. Primarily, the jew were the main target during thid time. They lost their family and faith in the concentration camps. In the memoir, Night, by Elie Wiesel demostrates his time during the holucaust. He lost a lot, including his spirtuality o fteh supernatural. Elie Wiesel battles with his thoughts on the supernatural.

In the beginnning of memoir, Wiesel is emotionally and physically disciplined upon his religion. He is Jewish. Wiesel knows a man named Moshe the Beatle- a man of all work at a Hasidis Synagoge- very religious. Out of his great relgious status, Wiesel was encouraged, and wanted to become a boy of intense worship- a rabbi. Soon after, Moshe asked him a question: " 'Why do you play?' he asked me, as though he had known me a long time.' I don't know," (31). This demostrates unclarity and confusion. Knowing that Wiesal is very religious, he does not fully underdtand why he does such thing. His religious prayers is a repeat in his everyday live. He prays because he has too. It is the way of live, how he was grown up.

Later, Elie will begin to judge external events against his own beliefs about who God is, and what God's role should be.

After months of horror and relentlessness, Wiesel began to juxtapose the relation of God and the damage people are going through-- reality. Such as, the jews are being treated unfairly and the not like humans. The  torture people are going through  create a lost of interest in Gob. For example, " For the first time, I felt revolt rise up in me. Why should i bless his name? The eternal, lord of the universe, the All Powerful and terrible, was the silent. What did i have to thank him for?" (31). Wiesels believe on God his slowly filtering away. He does not see any changes on hope and freedom. Wiesel battles between the reality and the fantasy. Does not see the connection between the two. As a result, his changes become finalized

In the end of the memoir, Wiesel's alterations changes his view on God, and creates a new importance.

Wiesals aspiration on God is elimated.  He worries more about reality--survival. His views on God are clearly stated. For instance, " It is the end, God is no longer with us," (73). Final answer. He has no believe in him. The All Mighty. The Powerful. gone. His view on reality did not connect in the belief in his mind. Gob. The alteration created Wiesel to worry about survival rather that the prayers and forgiveness to "Gob". As a result, Wiesal battles between reality and Gob.

In conclusion, Wiesals adjustments concluded his belief. He tries to connect reality to the supernatural, and their was not any overlaps. When troubles occur, people automatically changes their thoughts. As a result, Wiesal battles between reality and God.

P.S- I am so mad!!!!!  I had an awesome essay ready to publish, but all of s sudden, it magically dissappered. I was going to cry. I worked SOOOOOOO hard, and now i had to turn in this. I AM SOOO MAD. I want to cry. I wish it was all a dream.
