Prompt: List at least three problems the character faced? Which was the most life changing? Explain.
Throughout the book Elie faces several problems with himself to the Nazi soldiers watching over him. One of the problems he faces is malnourishment. Since, he is at a concentration camp the conditions are horrible. The medical care is poor, the shelters are falling apart, and the prisoner barely get any food. Food and water is essential for surviving, so receiving a small amount of could cause serious health problems. This also makes him have less energy and strength, so some task are harder and more tiring.
Another problem Elie is facing is keeping his faith in a religion. He starts to questions Gods powers and of he is even real. Elie questions this because all of the things happening around him. He watches as innocent people die from sickness, hunger, or an injury. He thinks why isn't God helping them. He also watches as people get cremated and hung at the gallows. He questions why God isn't preventing this. That is why keeping his faith to religion is so hard for him.
The most life changing problem he is facing is staying with his family. Elie only has his father left after he was separated from his mother and sister. This was hard for him and the rest of his family. Now he tries his hardest to stay with his father at all times because he doesn't want to lose him, too. This is the most life changing because he never saw his mother and sister again. They never said a proper goodbye to each other and Elie never knew that was going to be the last time he saw them.
