In this chapter of Night, it is a struggle for Elie to try to convince his father to stay alive. He wanted to rest instead of going threw a hot shower and getting into a cot. He said it would take to much energy. This was hard on Elie because he wanted his father to survive instead of dieing. He had fortunately made it to the cot but was terrible sick.

Elie did every thing to the best of his ability to save him. He would give him most of his portions of the bread and soup and would try to get him to a doctor. He finally got him to a doctor but he wouldn’t help Elies father. This was hard on him. He had done every thing he could to keep him alive till one day he woke up and his father had been taken away.
