Night - Chapter 5

Why does Elie refuse to fast (not eat) during Yom Kippur? 

• He doesn't like the meal.
• His foot is swollen and he doesn't have an appetite.
• He no longer accepted God's silence and wanted to use this as a sign of protest.
• He is afraid that the food is contaminated.

Why does Elie believe that man is stronger than God?

• He believes that if God were powerful, he would have stopped this suffering.
• He believes that man can overcome so much torment and God cannot.
• When man betrayed God, God rejected man.  Now that God is betraying man, man continues to praise him.
• None of the above.

Speaking of the selection, Elie says, " The SS offered us a beautiful present for the new year." This is an example of...

Why was the infirmary (hospital) actually better than being in camp?

• They could sleep more.

• They had a bed and food.
• It wasn't-- they usually were immediately put to death.

Why didn't Elie eat the two pieces of bread before the march?

• He wasn't hungry.
• It was moldy and gross.
• He knew he should save it for where ever they were going.
• He did eat it and his father's too!
