"Night" by Elie Wiesel
METAMORPHOSIS
There is a very thin line between the person who you were and the person that you are right now. As humans, we experience millions of events that can affect and change our perspective on aspects throughout the course of our lives. Similar to caterpillars, we cannot be innocent and childish forever. There is a time for everybody to transform into something beautiful, and everybody’s time is different. Change can be good or bad, but most importantly, change helps us grow and become the people we were meant to be. How are we supposed to mature and enjoy our lives if we cannot accept the differences that life presents? For many people, metamorphosing is difficult because sometimes it can be a challenge to let go of something that was always a part of ourselves, such as letting go of a teddy bear, or a blanket, but for other people, it can be almost instantaneous.
Eliezer, the main character of the autobiography Night, written by himself, is portrayed to be a very religious man who puts all his faith in God. He wants to study and learn all about God and all about how He created the world and why. At the beginning, it is evident that Eliezer is relying on God to rescue him, his family, and all the poor Jews from their nightmares because he thinks God would never want them to suffer for such a long period of time. Eliezer, a committed believer in his religion, slowly begins doubting his God and His intentions as time progresses through the concentration camps. As a prisoner of war, the working conditions get worse, as Eliezer does not have the proper nutrition to give him the strength and dedication that he needs to pull through. The only thing that gives Elie the courage to continue fighting for his life, is the most important person in his life, his father Shlomo, and his hopes that God will soon end their misery. Elie does not show remorse for any of the people who have been hanged and who died, as they have committed a crime and deserve it. But when
