Assignment 8

One significant conflict of the novel, "Night" by Elie Wiesel, had Eliezer and his father to choose between leaving the hospital and moving on with everyone else even if his leg had barely healed or stay and wait for their liberators. With the other patients' opinion of when they leave they will either summarily killed and sent to the crematory or mine the camp then blow it up after the end of the evacuation, with this in mind he chose to go with the "valids". This decision tied in with the theme,"survive no matter what" because he wanted to survive if his roommates' hypotheses came true. Apparently if he had stayed in two days he would have been liberated and his father may not have died.
