Follow the guidelines provided in Folder 03/12 Night Part 4 and 5, reference document #6, How to Write a Great Short-Answer Response. A. A young boy is executed when a raid reveals a stash of weapons in his quarters. At the execution, both prisoners and guards are clearly troubled by the victim’s young age. After the hanging, as the crowd is leaving, a man asks, “For God’s sake, where is God?” Eliezer responds, “Where He is? This is where – hanging here from these gallows…” Write a commentary on Eliezer’s statement by explaining what he means. B. Throughout the book, characters demonstrate how survival instincts can override moral decisions and actions. For instance, sons beat or abandon their fathers to survive. In your opinion, is this an understandable, or forgivable, phenomenon? Write a paragraph voicing your opinion. C. Eliezer faced unimaginable horrors as a prisoner. After reading his story, has your outlook on life changed at all? For instance, do you now appreciate something more than you did before reading Night? Write a paragraph to explain how, if at all, his story has impacted you. D. What do you suppose Eliezer did after leaving Buchenwald? What would you do? Write your answers in a short summary that should not exceed ten sentences. A. Eliezer’s statement is reflecting on his extremely low faith in God, during these events. He has been traumatized by the horrific things that he has seen during the holocaust, causing him to lose faith. During these events, he questions why he prays, and therefore, why he breathes and lives, for which he finds no answer. He starts to lose his own sense of identity, as he loses faith in everything that he once believed in. He says God was in those gallows, as it would appear as though god is dead, due to current events being so horrifying.
