In this chapter of Night, by Elie Wiesel the Jewish people are coming up on the Jewish New Year. Also, the Germans are checking the Jewish people conditions and seeing who will be taken out of the camp.

Elie is now starting to question his faith and wondering why he would still be there if God actually was watching over them. He said that he stopped praying. But when the New Year came he went to the camp were all the men went to have a mass. He was didn’t say happy new year to the others because he felt it was not right. When he approached his father he noticed he felt the same way as him and didn’t wish him a happy new year. Reading this book I can see how it may cause people to question their faith. I could especially see this in a young person like Elie who is trying to figure out where he is going with his life.

As the Jewish people in the camps are getting checked over by the doctors head to foot people arre wondering if they are going to be called out and killed because they are not strong enough. Elie had passed the test and his father thought he did bet he was wrong. He found out the next day that he had his number written down which means he didn’t pass this was bad. Elies father gave him his knife and a spoon because he knew he was going to be killed. But later he found out he had one chance to save himself. He took the test one more time and fortunately passed.
