Night Section 4 review

When Elie says that he is “nothing but a body. Perhaps even less: a famished stomach” (Wiesel 52). This shows that at this point in the memoir, he is motivated almost solely by

• hunger

• anger

• passion

• rebellion

After his father is savagely beaten for being lazy, Elie is frustrated with him because he felt that his father should have

• ran away

• fought back

• hid

Elie lives and becomes friendly with the the musicians

• True

• False

The use of a flash-forward to Wiesel meeting the young French girl from the warehouse in Paris serves to

• illustrate his survival

• illustrate his death

• show that the girl is his best friend

• show that the girl is his enemy

In an attempt to get Elie’s gold crown, Franek, the foreman, beats Elie’s father rather than Elie because he

• knows that Elie will just give up and let him have his crown

• knows that Elie wants his father to get hurt

• knows his father is his weakness

The quote "the soup tasted of corpses that night" refers to

• having dead body parts put into the soup

• the soup being days old

• the cook not properly preparing the soup

• Elie being upset with the boy's hanging

Elie witnesses two separate hangings in this section. During the first one, the condemned man’s last words are:

“Long live liberty! My curse on Germany! My curse!” (Wiesel 62). This shows that the man is

• defiant

• obideiant

• not afraid

When Buna is bombed, the inmates are happy because they are not afraid of death. The reader can infer that they have lost their fear of death because

• the conditions at camp are worse than death

• they think they will survive

• they think the Nazis will die
