Night
Death is heavily portrayed in the book, titled Night, by Elie Wiesel. Throughout the book Wiesel describes the terror and the horrifying moments of the concentration camp as it affected him. Eliezer had many near death experiences, but each time that he was at the edge of death there was always a door open for him to escape the black shadow. There were many people that did not make it, but Weisel did escape and apart of what endeavored him to live was his father. For Wiesel his determination to live was for his father. He thought to himself "What would he do without me? I was his only support"(82). Therefore Wiesel was afraid to be separated from the presence of his father. Wiesel had a near death experience towards the beginning of the book and the end. On the first day at the camp when Wiesel and his father stepped out of the crowded train they perceived the flames filtering up from the ditch not far from them. They noticed that they were heading right towards the flames and the burning. His father even said, "Humanity? Humanity is not concerned with us. Today anything is allowed. Anything is possible, even these crematories..." (30). Step by step they were coming closer and closer to the heat.
The thought of being separated from one another can destroy themselves, neither of the two would hope or desire to live on without knowing the existence of another. Towards the end of the book in the month of January of 1945, Wiesel's right foot began to swell because of the cold. Weisel thought about this sharply and said to himself that there was no way the SS are going to leave the hospital blocks unevaluated. Not to feel anything, neither weariness, nor cold, nor anything. After knowing this Eliezer desired to live and never give up on life. Weisel was getting ready to run through the bare wires rather than to go through a slow agonizing death in the fire. Wiesel from the beginning of the camp till the end he made sure that his number one priority was to stay near at hand with his father. He knew that if he parted from his father neither would have any hope to live because both would always wonder if the other one alive but never know the truth.
