ReplyDeleteElie's faith in God by him having faith in the beginning of the book, to not having faith at the end. An example from the book is "By day I studied Talmud and by night I would run to the synagogue to weep over the destruction of the Temple." This shows that Elie had faith in God in the begin of the book by him studying Talmud a type of religion. Another example from the book is "Where He is? This is where-hanging here from this gallows..." This shows that he was hanging there from the gallows and he was God then Elie's God was hanging there from them gallows and was going to die. That is when Elie lost faith in God that night.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the world's responsibility in matters of inhumane treatment of others is to make everybody aware of the situation. And they should try to help if they are able in any way.
A goal that I would like to improve on in our next paideia seminar is to speak more in the discussions. I don't speak much because I feel that my answer is wrong.
Elie's faith in God changes throughout Night . It all began when he started to loose what belonged to him. Beginning by , loosing his mom and sisters then his clothes and shoes being taken from him . It really began to change when the "god" everybody looked up to which was a Pipel , was hung for not making a bed right . The young Pipel was seen as having a delicate and beautiful face which created an incredible sight in the camp . Now that their god is taken from their presence , Elie's faith began to vanish . Knowing that children were the next thing to god . His faith began to vanish even more when he bagan to continuosly see people killed in groups very often a day . He always felt he was next in line to be that Pipel hung . At the end of the text , Elie did not have any faith . His father became sick and suffered from dysentery which made Elies father come to conclusion to choose death ahead of time . Elie's father was the only thing he had throughout the camp and loosing him had a big impact on how Elie would continue to handle things and himself .
ReplyDeleteThe 'world's" responsibility in matters of inhumane treatment of others is to have some ownership as to what you have did or processing . I think you should understand what you ar doing and it has a background a reasoning to it . I honestly do not think inhumane treatments are right at certain times . I do believe in punishment if its for a certain reason such as when your in trouble with your parents or for sake , you get put in jail , I believe you did not follow the law , so they have reasoning as to why they have you stable .If the situation does not deal with you or has no certain reason , anybody should not just be able to take over the situation or take over anything and put it in their hands .
For the next paideia seminar , a goal that I would like to improve is more fluid speaking and more explaining . I would like to improve on connecting more with my class because I feel I do not speak as much as I think in my head and I feel like it's not letting my classmates know I understand . The things that I think of in my head are fluid , but when I think I can announce it out to the class it does not sound good . I feel like I hesitate too much and need to change that .
Elie’s faith in God changes throughout the book. Elie was a religious little boy. In the beginning of the book, Elie’s faith in God was very strong. He would pray to his God every night and study Talmud every day. He was very devoted to his studies about his God. An example from the book that tells me that he had a strong faith in his God are “By day I studied Talmud and by night I would run to the synagogue to weep over by the destruction of the temple.” and “One day I asked my father to find me a master who could guide me in my studies of Kabbalah.” This shows that he was really interested in learning more about his God.
ReplyDeleteElie begins to lose his faith in God when the young pipel got hung. Other people who died did not matter to him because he was getting used to people constantly dying in the camp but the young pipel really move him. Ending an innocent child’s life is the worst a human can do and I think Elie thought that if God was still there, he would not allow this to happen but it did happen so he believes that his God was no longer exist and so he begins to gradually lose his faith in his God.
An example from this book is “Behind me, I heard the same man asking: "For God’s sake, Where is God now?" And from within me, I heard a voice within me answer: "Where is He? This is where..hanging here on this gallows…”
I think the world should know about the Holocaust so that they will learn from it and not repeat it again. They should also learn not to be indifferent if there is ever a situation like the Holocaust.
For my next paideia seminar, a goal I would like to improve on is having more confident in my answers and responding to my peer’s questions because I did not do that in the previous seminar.
Eliezer's faith in God changed throughout Night by him being a zealous Jew in the beginning of the book but slowly losing faith in God. An example of how he begins to doubt his faith is the hanging of the young pipel. Eliezer described the young pipel as having a delicate and beautiful face, being an incredible sight in the camp and having the face of an angel in distress. The young pipel represented God, even though he had an involvement in the resistance. But the third rope was still moving: the child, too light, was still breathing... (Wiesel 65). The child, because of his lack of weight, suffered a far more cruel death, as he is left to choke to death excruciatingly, and all the other prisoners are forced to watch.
ReplyDelete"Where He is? This is where - hanging here from this gallows..." That night the soup tasted of corpses (Wiesel 65). This is the part where Eliezer has lost his faith in God and saw him as dead, strung up like the angelic boy he was forced to watch die. Another example is how he refused to praise God and fast on Yom Kippur. How could I say to Him: Blessed be Thou, Almighty, Master of the Universe, who chose us among all nations to be tortured day and night, to watch as our fathers, our mothers, our brothers end up in the furnaces? Praised by Thy Holy Name, for having chosen us to be slaughtered on Thine altar? (Wiesel 67). My eyes had opened and I was alone, terribly alone in a world without God, without man. I was nothing but ashes now, but I felt myself to be stronger than this Almighty to whom my life had been bound for so long (Wiesel 68). How could I say to Him: Blessed be Thou, Almighty, Master of the Universe, who chose us among all nations to be tortured day and night, to watch as our fathers, our mothers, our brothers end up in the furnaces? Praised by Thy Holy Name, for having chosen us to be slaughtered on Thine altar? (Wiesel 67).
The "world's" responsibility in matters of inhumane treatment of others is to not be silent. We have to make sure we know the situation in and out, so we can take action. We have to act more against it and intervening in them. Horrible acts are committed and usually gotten away with because people who are able to help do nothing. They are useless and complicit in such crimes.
For my next paideia seminar, a goal I would like to improve on is to give everybody a chance to participate and talk less because other people also need a chance to speak.
Through out the story Elizer's faith in God goes away. He witnessed things that made him no longer believe that God was with him and the other Jews, but it took the pipel's death for his faith to completely leave. He couldn't wrap his mind around the thought that their was still a God and none of their prayers had been answered, and they were still being killed, and treated in a very inhumane way. When the Pipel was hanged the men were asking where was God, Elie internally answered them saying that God was there hanging from the Gallows. (page 65) For the Jew's "celebration" of the new year Elie wouldn't pray, and he was angry at God for troubling them. He questioned God, and said that man was stronger than God. (pages 66-67)
ReplyDeleteThe world's responsibility in matters of inhumane treatment is to help get those people out of that situation no matter what. If they were in that same situation they would want someone to help them, so why not help them. They are human,and have families just like everyone else. Not helping them would make everyone at fault for what happens to them. No one would be innocent except for the ones who are the victims. Blood would be on everyone's hands who had the opportunities to help, yet did nothing to help.
For my next paideia seminar my goal is to answer in a different format then just saying "I agree" or "I disagree". Also my goal would to be to ask my questions as well, because I just waited for a question to be asked then I would answer it. Another thing I would change is how much I answer because not everyone got to talk, and I kept talking. I would change these things because I feel that they would help the seminar move along better without so many pauses.
Eliezer’s faith in god changes throughout night. In the beginning of the book Elie wants to study more about his faith. He is really into his faith, but that all changes. As the book goes on Elie starts to doubt his faith, and it even ends up that he loses all his faith.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning Elie says, “By day I studied Talmud and by night I would run to the synagogue to weep over the destruction of the Temple.” This shows how Elie wanted to know more and really cared about his faith. Elie was always trying to learn more, he would ask Moshe the Beatle, and his dad to try teach him more. “One day I asked my father to find me a master who could guide me in my studies of Kabbalah.”
Once Elie went to the holocaust everything changed for him. He lost his mom and sisters, and he was only with his dad. That is not the only drastic thing that happened to Elie. Elie was used to seeing deaths, but one in particular stood out to him. The hanging of Pipel, and to Elie he wasn’t the usual person. This was his god. “This one had a delicate and beautiful face – and incredible sight in this camp.” Once he had been hung, Elie started to question his faith which led to him losing his faith. “For God’s sake, where is God? And from within me, I heard a voice answer: Where He is? This is where – hanging here from this gallows…” This was the end of Elie’s faith.
The world’s responsibility in matters of inhumane treatment is to stand up, and to not be quiet. In today’s society we are too scared of the outcome or backlash one may receive so we stay quiet. We need to take the time of the holocaust into consideration, and not let anything to any close extreme happen. We do not need another genocide or outbreak of deaths.
My goal for my next paideia seminar is to dig deeper into what I was trying to say. Throughout I felt like my answer were a little blunt, and I could have explained them a little more. I could have also had a better question. I don’t think my question was bad, but I feel like I could have had a deeper question that opened more discussion.
Eliezer's faith in God changes throughout Night because, Elie goes from wanting to devote his studies to better understand god to not believing in him at all. When Elie was forced to watch the death of the angelic boy, Pipel, that’s when he really started to loose faith in god. Elie stated that God was hanging from the gallows along with Pipel, meaning when Pipel died his faith in god did to.
ReplyDeleteThe worlds responsibility in matters of inhumane treatment of others is to stand up and speak out. I feel like with anytime someone is getting treated unfair or badly, weather its on a smaller scale like bullying or a lager scale like genocide with the holocaust, all it takes is for someone to stand up for what’s right. Sometimes the world can be blind to what is happening because they don’t care and it doesn’t concern them, and that’s one thing we need to work on.
One goal that I would like to improve on is to speak more. With the seminar we just had I felt like I wanted to let other speak and voice their opinions, so I held my tongue. Next time I would like to speak more.
