“Suddenly, the evidence overwhelmed me: there was no longer any reason to live, any reason to fight.” (Wiesel 99). This MATTERS because...

• Family can be draining when you're trying to survive

• Elie's sole reason for survival is his father

• Eli's tired of having to fight and continue to survive

• Family can be a motivation for the will to survive

"I did not weep, and it pained me that I could not weep. But I was out of tears. And deep inside me, if I could have searched the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last!..." (Wiesel 112). This MATTERS because...

• When having to endure so much pain and struggle sometimes death/loss is seen as release.

• Elie has gone through so much he has no more tears left to cry

• When having to endure so much pain and struggle sometimes you can't cry

• Elie feels guilty but he feels a sense of freedom from his father's death

"From the depths of the mirror, a corpse was contemplating me. The look in his eyes as he gazed at me has never left me." (Wiesel 115). This MEANS...

• Elie is free but is still trapped in his guilt over his fathers death

• Although Elie was being fed he still looked emaciated

• Elie is so emaciated he looks like a corpse

• Even though Elie was physically liberated, the presence of death has never left Elie throughout his life
