Unlike Elie, Guido’s main purpose was to keep his family member alive and innocent. His love for his son, Joshua, gave Guido the opportunity to use his humorous personality as a way to keep Joshua safe and innocent during the concentration camps. Guido convinces his son that the entire camp is being run as a game of which the winner receives a real tank. Guido pretends to translate one of the guards, “The one who has the fewest points will have to wear a sign that says "Jackass" on his
Again consent falls into play. If Parker had willingly given up his body to save the other three men, would it then be okay? In truth, all three did what they needed to do to survive; they chose to kill one and save three. This decision was made for the good of the others, but very selfish and immoral. Although Parker was the obvious choice because of being ill and having no family, he was young and had an entire life ahead of him, and most importantly, did not give consent to the others to sacrifice himself.

One might read the novel and wonder whether Eliezer’s text is reliable or not. Although there seems to be minimal inaccuracies regarding the specifics of the events, Night by Eliezer Wiesel is an overall accurate resource. The inequality to the Jews during the Holocaust really had an effect on the country as a whole. As Eliezer sates, “From that moment on, everything happened very quickly. The race toward death had begun.
Everything we see and go through got two sides negative and positive. Likewise Holocaust do have both positive and negative side, had the holocaust had not happened then the world might have to suffer it in future.

Though holocaust has left lot of hole in people’s life, it has brought many different races together under the same roof, and brought changes to a people’s thought about religion and a community.
He also knows it may be too late to save him. "It's too late to save your old father, I said to myself..."(pg 105). He felt guilty because he could not help his father, but he knew the only way to survive was to watch out for himself. "Here, every man has to fight for himself and not think of anyone else. Even of his father..."(pg 105).
“Motivations of the People” 05/09/12 “The history of the Holocaust has no happy ending, no uplifting message of redemption. It leaves us only with human beings, with their startling capacities for good and evil, and with an awareness of the complex ties that connect victims, perpetrators, and bystanders in Nazi barbarity.” The holocaust left little for direct interpretation. Neighbors became enemies, best friends became denouncers, and anyone who had something to gain was willing to give up the people they were, to be the people that survived the war. Though not everyone was willing to place their hand on the trigger itself, the actions that proceeded might as well have been one in the same. There was a choice, there is always a choice.
He savored his time at school, because it was away from his mom. Also, sometimes he was able to steal food from other kids, the school cafeteria, and the household trash when he could, wherever he could find it.This was until his mother found out that he was eating while away from home. She would make him, make himself vomit everyday when he got home just to make sure he hadn't eaten anything! Pelzer was lucky that the school nurse documented his wounds for such a long time and so well because in that day and age no charges would have been brought against the parents, or at least very little done. It is a shame that the abuse had to go on for so
Compare and Contrast Essay: ‘Night’, ‘Life is Beautiful’ Elie Wiesel’s ‘Night’ is a true and shocking recollection of the terrible days Elie Wiesel spends in the Ghettos of Sighed, the (Sub) concentration camp (s) in Auschwitz and the miserable transportation to Buchenwald. The book is a factual description of events Elie and his father had to go through whilst living in Germany and describes the events of being forced into ghettos, transported to Auschwitz, almost starving to death and almost beaten to death, as a daily routine Elie Wiesel faces in his ‘new’ life as a hunted and imprisoned Jew in Nazi Europe. ‘Life is beautiful’ written by Roberto Benigni also discusses the Holocaust but with a different purpose compared to Elie Wiesel. His purpose was to entertain the people, literally make them cry and most important of all, make them laugh. Benigni sort of twists the ideologies of the Nazi’s, and puts emphasis on their absurdness.
George grew to love Lennie, their friendship was an unbreakable bond. Which only Slim, another ranch hand, could understand. The other ranch workers couldn't see why George was so upset post murder. They did not know what really happened. They didn't know Lenny didn't try to harm George at all, or that Lennie died a fast, tranquil death.
