Jewish Narrative
I stared at him as i stop myself from sitting on the chair. i stood right back up never letting my eyes avert his. the only thing that you can hear in this very living room is the vehicles passing through the street outside of this building. We both are having a war through our eyes as my heart beats a new beat. Kill Nino? Can he even do that, kill someone he been around with for years? but then again Nino said the same thing about Eli. What type of relationship do these niggas have with each other?

Can Eli take the risk and kill Nino as we escape to a new life together? What if he fails? Nino not only will he kill Eli he will definitely come after me killing me with his bare hands. I can't escape these two since Nino wants me to cut all ties with Eli or else and Eli wants me to runaway with him into a dangerous life having to watch my back 24/7. This is not what I planned when I decided to come here. The plan was to come and break it to Eli that I wasn't going to be with him anymore, and he should move on.

He continues to stare at me after saying this. I wait for a smile or a laugh to come out of him to show he's joking about everything, and he wasn't serious, but of course Eli is full blown serious with no hint of a smile paste on him. I sigh a deep sigh knowing I have to do something or somehow think of a way to escape this two men that has me standing in the middle of this. I mean I have feeling for Eli, but it's not deep way I can just trust him to just come running with me, you

    From the very beginning, Elie, to have a bit of a purpose in the midst of what was happening, decides to be with his father, who is the only remaining member of his family left. “As for me, I was not thinking about death, but I did not want to be separated from my father. We had already suffered so much, borne so much together, this would not be the time to separated” (Wiesel 78). This shows how much Elie cares about his father and wants him to keep on living and make sure they do not get separated from each other, even going as far as to not think about dying, but to just think about his father, also that he was starting to lose interest in anything else but his father. Elie clearly loves his father very much, thinking about everything they have been through, Elie does not want to just give that all up, he thinks that they will make it together to the end and Elie will try to make sure that happens, so that they do not get…

    In consideration of the fact that Eli has been mentally dismissed by his father and them not having a very tight father, son bond he has been through many beatings in his mind. Never has Elie been through physical annihilation within his childhood for small reasons. The text states, “I tried to protect myself from the blows,”(41). He believes in trying to protect himself from the thing that he fears the most. As a result of this his grandeur slowly seems to dissipate as time seems to change, but very soon after his beating Elie hears the words, “ ‘Don’t lose hope,’”(41). Those words help bring what small nobility Elie had inside him even though his status still remained the same, he was still not a “human” in the eyes of his…

    Eliezer had many reasons to become hopeless. He was how other Jews killed each other very selfishly over a piece of bread. "Here, every man has to fight for himself and not think of anyone else.... Here, there are no fathers, no brothers, no friends. Everyone lives and dies for himself alone." If mankind is this disgusting then God must be this way or may not exist. When Eliezer first got to the concentration camp he didn't have any hope. " Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust." He saw how many people killed each other so this made him think there was no hope for him. Throughout the story other than the conflict Eliezer has with the Nazis, he also has a conflict with himself: He started questioning his own faith. He started wondering how could God permit such cruelty to take place." Where is God now?" God didn't keep up with his promise to take care of people. When all the Jews called for him and prayed for him there was no response, only silence. The only one to keep his promises was Hitler.…

    This is the opposite, but Elie realizes this. He knows that this is wrong and that even considering the act himself makes him feel worse. Elie never really considers leaving his father. The author notices that his own father is growing weaker and weaker, but he knows he must not leave him. The loyalty he has to his father, even after he himself is wounded, truly shows how much he loves his…

    The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…

    It is very simple to prove, because if Elie did not have the willpower or mindset to win, he would have given up like a lot of the POW in the reading. “ Give yourself a little color, don't walk, Run! Run as if the devil were after you! Don't look at the SS, run straight in front of you.” That quote was when Elie was trying to show the guards he was strong and could work. ( PAGE 78) Elie tried his hardest to not get chosen, and ran as fast as he could to impress the guards, because he had motivation to stay alive, and hopefully get out of the camp with his…

    I am a Jew! Due to that very important fact, some parts of my life were harder than it would have been if I was a Christian or Catholic. But using my faith in myself and my religion I was able to persevere myself. A good quote that describes myself is from a Kelly Clarkson song “What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Stand a little taller, Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone”. I always think of that song whenever something bad happens that makes me question myself, my friends, or my beliefs. I believe that simple words and beliefs don’t define a person, but their actions towards others do.…

    Catholic and Judaism are considered opposite religions, yet they share very similar rituals and ceremonies. A Catholic child typically around twelve or thirteen years old goes through their confirmation. This is a ceremony where the young adult promises to follow with the religion and continue to learn about the faith. In the Jewish faith when a girl is twelve and a boy is thirteen they celebrate their Bah Mitzvah if they are a girl or Bar Mitzvah if they are a boy. This ceremony is also when the young adult promises to follow their religion and stay close to and learn more about their faith.…

    At the beginning of the story, Sylvia thinks of her son as just another Ramenzal that will be attending Whitehill and even gives him “number thirty one” (Vonnegut, 2) in the honored list of the Ramenzals who have attended the institution. Sylvia fails to realize that Eli has unique qualities that are different from the rest of the Remenzels until the end of the story. When the Remenzels discover from the headmaster that Eli has not been accepted to the school and realize that Eli has ran away because of the tough situation he got himself into, Sylvia finally recognizes that Whitehill is not the best place for him. This allows Eli to open up and express his feelings comfortably. We see this when Eli expresses his feelings of anger at his father for trying to get him into Whitehill, for he realizes he will not succeed there. He says, “You shouldn’t have done that” (Vonnegut, 12). At the point that he is recognized as an individual, he is ultimately able to mature through his new ability to express himself without being intimidated.…
