What would I name chapter five of Night? I would probably name chapter five, “Lost Faith.” I would name this chapter “Lost Faith,” because Eliezer began to lose his fate in God. He lost fate in God because when he could hear the other men praying to Him on Rash Hashanah and Yom Kippur, he thought why should I thank God? “Why, but why should I bless Him? In every fiber rebelled. Because He had had thousands of children burned in His pits? Because He kept six crematories working night and day, on Sundays and feast days? Because in His great might He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many factories of death?...” Also, his father thought he was going to finally die, so maybe that is also a sign that he lost in the faith of God. Even after his operation he thinks God put him there and him suffer. After most of the things he suffered, Eliezer does have reasons why he lost in faith of the lord.
The title I would give to chapter five would have to be “Believe in Yourself and You Will Experience Strength.” I would name it this because Eliezer needs to start trusting in himself more then he is in God. He starts to realize that since God may not be talking back to him he will have to start doing things on his own. “Yes, man is very strong, greater than God.” Eliezer understands that now he needs to help himself and his family during this horrible time. Since he is getting nothing back from God he thinks that he should no longer waste his time hoping for an answer from him. Elie starts to think what is going to be best for him and his family. When Yom Kippur comes along he decides not to fast. “I did not fast, mainly to please my father, who had forbidden me to do so. But further, there was no longer any reason why I should fast. I no longer accepted God’s silence.” As you can see, Elie started to no longer care to do what was “right” that dealt with his religion. He begins to realize that he needs to do what is best for himself and his family.
If I had to name chapter five I would name it "Weakened Faith." Throughout the chapter Eliezer begins to lose faith in God. God hasn’t answered any questions that Eliezer has asked, so Eliezer starts depending on himself and not in God. He even told the Rabbi he didn’t believe in God anymore. Eliezer doesn’t understand why god isn’t helping is people. God is letting them die in the camps and crematories. So Eliezer decides to believe in himself and his father. He leans on his father for strength when working at the camps. Even during Yom Kippur Eliezer decides not to fast. From this point on Eliezer relieves to do what’s best for him and his family, he knows only he can do that and not God. This title would be good for chapter five because Eliezer’s faith in God has decreased drastically, and what’s replacing it is strength in himself and in other people.
If I could name this chapter anything that I wanted, I would name it, “ Goodbye God, Hello Concentration Camp.” Eliezer began to lose all faith in the one person, that he thought would always be there. He began to loose faith when he saw people being taken away from their homes and sent to death camps in Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Buna. Eliezer believed that if God listened to his prayers, all the evil things that were happening to all innocent people in his country, would soon be put to a halt. Eliezer used prayer as his protection. He could talk to God and everything that he couldn’t say to others and what was happening to his loved ones, he could tell to God. But when Hitler began deporting Jews to concentration camps, Eliezer began to lose hope that God wasn’t listening to his prayers. Eliezer preached, “Why, but why should I bless him? In every fiber rebelled. Because he had thousands of children burned in his pits?” Eliezer began to think that God wanted this all to happen. That, that was in God’s nature to kill people that he had put on earth. Eliezer lost all faith, due to the cruel inhumane things that Hitler brought upon the innocent Jews.
I would call Chapter 5 "Renewed Strength." I would call it this because so far through the book Eliezer has slowly been losing hope of surviving the concentration camp. However in Chapter 5 this changes. Eliezer no longer depends on God for his rescue and is instead depending on himself. This is a step in the right direction to his survival because if Eliezer kept depending on God he would probably have died since so far God has helped none of them. Now that Eliezer is depending on his own strength he will become stronger and more determined to escape the death camp. The first sign that Eliezer has a better chance of surviving is when he eats soup when he is supposed to be fasting. Since Eliezer no longer feels obligated to fast he will survive longer because fasting in their current condition is very dangerous.
If I had to name chapter five I would name it “Men are best”. I would name it this because the main character Eliezer feels betrayed by God, so he believes that men are better than God. He doesn’t understand how God could allow this Genocide to occur, how he could allow all the people that are killing the Jews to do it, and how they can feel no remorse after doing it. He believes that men are better than God over this entire thing because these men are able to just kill a bunch of Jews because of their religion, and God doesn’t stop it. There for Eliezer feels that men are stronger than god. Eliezer needs to begin believing in himself so that he can get through this physically and mentally. With or without Gods help. If Eliezer can do this than he really is a man, who is possibly better than God.
if i had to name this chapter it would be god. i would name it god because it is and issue in this chapter. "what are you, my god. i thought angrily, compared to this affliced crowd, proclaiming to their faith their anger their revolt. what does your greatness mean lord of the universe, in face of all weakness, this decomposition and this decay why do you still trouble their sick mids their crippled bodies?" elizer wants to know resons why god is doing this and if god is a part in germans. He no loger believes in god and he has to stop thinking about god and thinking about himslef.
My title for chapter 5 would be “Faith?” because Elie begins to question his faith in Judaism and his God. I think that Elie was right to question his God, since all these terrible things were happening to him and others in the concentration camps. In the book he says “Why, but why should I bless Him? In every fiber rebelled. Because He had had thousands of children burned in His pits? Because He kept six crematories working night and day, on Sundays and feast days?” When everyone prays to God on Rash Hashanah and Yom Kippur, he wonders why he should give praise to Him if He is not doing anything for Elie and his father and all the others. He also doesn’t fast on Yom Kippur. Elie’s resistance against the faith of his religion has good reason.
“But now, I no longer pleaded for anything. I was no longer able to lament. On the contrary, I felt very strong. I was the accuser, God the accused. My eyes had opened and I was alone, terribly alone in a world without God, without man. Without love or mercy. I was nothing but ashes now, but I felt myself to be stronger than this Almighty to whom my life had been bound for so long. In the midst of these men assembled for prayer, I felt like an observer, a stranger” (68). Throughout the book Elie’s view on God had completely changed. Sometimes Elie would pray to God and was very devoted to him and other times Elie would completely disregard God and not pray to him. In this chapter Elie’s view on God was a negative one. He no longer believed in him because if God was good he would not let the Germans kill thousands of Jewish people and create concentration camps. An appropriate title for this chapter is “Gone”. Just one simple word explains this chapter. Everything was gone to Elie, his life, his belief in God, his family, humanity, everything. The world was gone to him, thousands of innocent Jewish people were being killed and mankind was being destroyed. Gone was individualism and doing things for yourself, everything was now regulated by the Germans and one was told what to do and when to do it. Gone was one’s independence and freedom. Life was in itself gone.
I would name chapter 5 “Disbelief”. Throughout the chapter Eliezer begins to lose belief and faith in God. Eliezer blames God for what is happening and needs to have more belief in himself. Eliezer then learns that he needs to stop focusing on God failing the Jews and begin focusing on him and his father. Like on Yom Kippur Eliezer doesn’t fast. “As I swallowed my bowl of soup, I saw in the gesture an act of rebellion and protest against him.” By doing this he is putting aside his religion and God to help his family.
If I had to name this chapter, I would call it “Hopeless”. This is because Eliezer has lost all his faith and hope in his God. He recalls that throughout his whole life he always prayed and was extremely religious, but now in this hard times he can’t do it anymore. He doesn’t understand why God is putting this on the Jews since they have done nothing wrong. He says he understood why God brought the flood on Noah and punish Adam and Eve, but he believes the Jews did nothing that could bring this. He now turns away from God and the hope of God saving the Jewish race from the Nazis. Eliezer has now turned to believing in himself and how he can stay strong and make it through, hopefully along with his father. In the middle of the chapter it seems Eliezer is gaining hope as he is getting better and the Russians are almost near. But then they have to evacuate and with his injured leg starts his march along with his father to another camp. Again he has lost hope.
If I had to name the fifth chapter, it would be called "The End of My Faith" because at this point in the novel, Eliezer is in shock as to why people in the concentration camp are praying to god and abiding by their religious holiday's requirements such as fasting or reciting prayers. He feels this way because everyone is in such agony and pain over the loss of their families and also at the fact that they are being put to death and families are being torn apart. He cannot believe that "god" would allow this to happen if he existed. “Why, but why should I bless Him? In every fiber rebelled. Because He had had thousands of children burned in His pits? Because He kept six crematories working night and day, on Sundays and feast days? Because in His great might He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many factories of death?" Eliezer feels as though he should stay strong for himself in order to survive, and that he himself is greater than god for enduring so many things in this period of time.
If I were to name chapter five, I would name it “Loss of Faith.” I would choose to name this chapter "Loss of Faith" because in this chapter Eliezer began to lose all his faith in God. For instance, when he could hear the other men praying to God on Rahs Hashanah and Yom Kippur, he asked himself why should he thank God for doing this to him and his people. He believes that God is the reason for this happening to the Jews and is His fault for sending them to concentration camps. These are the reasons why Eliezer is losing his faith in God. “Why, but why should I bless him? In every fiber rebelled. Because he had thousands of children burned in his pits?” He blames God for the fact that so many Jews are dying from being burned and being put into the gas chambers. In the beginning of Night, Eliezer was a very religious person and would pray to God everyday. After this whole situation happened he begins to believe in himself more than he believes in God. For these reasons, I think “Loss of Faith” would be a very good title for chapter five.
If I had to name chapter five I would name it "Weakened Faith." Throughout the chapter Eliezer begins to lose faith in God. God hasn’t answered any questions that Eliezer has asked, so Eliezer starts depending on himself and not in God. He even told the Rabbi he didn’t believe in God anymore. Eliezer doesn’t understand why god isn’t helping is people. God is letting them die in the camps and crematories. So Eliezer decides to believe in himself and his father. He leans on his father for strength when working at the camps. Even during Yom Kippur Eliezer decides not to fast. From this point on Eliezer relieves to do what’s best for him and his family, he knows only he can do that and not God. This title would be good for chapter five because Eliezer’s faith in God has decreased drastically, and what’s replacing it is strength in himself and in other people.
"Alone" is the title i would give chapter 5 because Eliezer is spiritually alone. Eliezer has given up on prayer and God because he feels God has abandoned his people and forgotten their needs. Eliezer does not participate in the fast and he tells his friends about his action. He also believes than Men are stronger than God in a sense that they are surviving an unimaginable enviorment.
If I had to make a name for chapter five it would be "God is gone". I would name it that because in this chapter Eliezer stops beliveing in God. In the begining of the book Eliezer is very religious and believes that God will help him through but once he gets to the concentration camps his views change.Everyday he sees people praying and then being killed that makes him start to think. "You have betrayed, whom you have allowed to be tortured, butchered, gassed, burned, what do they do? They pray before you!" After seeing so many people die and many of them have prayed to God he starts to believe that God is gone and that you need to believe in yourself because God isen't there to help. Without his faith in God he doesnt really know if hes making the right choice but he doesnt want to pray to God because he knows that it hasent been helping the other people.
If I was to name chapter 5 I would name it "Fading Faith". I would name it this because Eliezer is starting to loose his faith in God. He always said that he was always very religious and never questioned his faith. But while he was in the concetration camp Eliezer did not pray during one of the Jewish holidays even though many of his fellow comrades did. He is wondering how can God let this happen to his people. Eliezer is also starting to loose faith in himself. He starting to think that he won’t survive the concentration camp.
i would give this section the title of god without a reason. Eliezer is not praying on Rash Hashanah and yon kippur. you find that he is losing faith in his god and is begining to think that god is weak and man is actually stronger. he almost begins to think that god has no reason in life and that it is not worth it. A Eilezer's father is feeling the same way. Eilezer then realizes that Jews are not in gods chosen children, but if they were then they were chosen to massacred. He was almost against god now and this feeling was only reinforced when Eilezers father is taken away during a selection. This is when he gets his only enheiritance from his father, a knife and a spoon.
I would name chapter five, "Blessed Be God's Name?" This title represents the struggle that Elie is having with his faith. It begins near the Jewish High Holy days which are the Jewish New Year. Elie begins to question his faith, wondering how a God could let such horrible things happen. It was difficult for him to wish his father a happy new year when he didn't know what the new year would bring. Akiba Drumer, who was selected to die, lost not only his will to live, but lost his faith. A rabbi from Poland who conintuously studied the Talmud, told Elie, "It's over. God is no longer with us." What Elie is feeling is how bad things have become for the Jews and if there was a god, the holocaust would never happen. This title is good for chapter five because it shows that the question of faith is a main theme of this chapter.
