They're one of the healthiest things a person can have in their li if it’s nurtured properly. It helps people rely on one another if it grows strong enough or it could destroy one’s trust and person itself; one wrong move and it could all be over. It's beautiful and sensitive thing. There's some that don’t last and there’s some that could last what seems like lifetimes. Elie Wiesel’s Night is a well written memoir which goes in depth about a few of many different kinds of relationships there are in the world. Elie's experience throughout Holocaust was rough ie his father, the = person he Dhaai was able to make it out alive. The relationshi \d his father have teaches the audience what relationships are all about: dependability } part 7S needs + bee SY e FES With a new genocide rising during un, it’s shown at the beginning that relationships amongst families and those near to one another would play a huge role in Elie’s experience of this new genocide: the Holocaust. Throughout it all Elie is with the one person he knows he can rely on for anything: his father. With time running out and the destination coming closer and ie could only think of one thing and it’s about his family. The second they were all y we separated “[Elie] tightened thé grip/on (his) father's hand” closer, EI (104) because Elie knew what was going to happen. It gave him “the old familiar fear: not to lose him” (104). Once Elie had figuredAguilar-Rivera 2 ‘out what was going to happen to him and his father he had a bit of fear in him. His father is now s/2 ‘eparatcd from the rest of his family. Elie knows the importance z. of having his father with hirv at all times. It's a huge act of dependability. Of course, with the one of his priorities after b categorizing and arranging by condition, Elie wasn’t going to give up his father to the SS officers that easily “[he] first wanted to see where they would send [his] father. Were he to have gone to the right, [he] would have run after him” (32). Elie did not want to lose the only other person he had there that he knew he could depend on in a time like that. He wouldn't let himself get separated from his fair at all, I gives off this strong emotion to tie on to that gives the aus \ing-t0 Connect to so that they could actually feel somewhat of what Elie was going advenh SF ‘ clave With everything that had happened between Elie and his family, being separated and all, he had his fathof His father became one of Elie’s top prioritieg: he became Elie’s motivation to 7 make it out of that concentration camp, not alone but with him also] je had “made up [his] mind to accompany [his] father wherever he went” (82). Elie had also thought that “[he] had no right to let [himself] die... [he] was his sof€* (87). Elie was ‘not thinking about death but about not wanting to be separated from his father. [They] had already suffered so much, endured so much together. [That] was not the moment to separate” (82). Elie’s father was the reason he went 6n but also how he was the reason his father wes on: an act of dependability with one another. Even through one of the hardest times Elie kept moving forward, he kept going for the sake of hicfatner. The thoughts Elie had on his father were in his right place of mind-Ti gives another en(otional connection to what Elie had to go through. Tat odes alan Through the importance of relationships what Wiesel wanted to get across to the audience was that relationships could definitely be needed to be able to learn from or to have inAguilar-Rivera 3 order to get through difficult times. Elie and his father had this relationship where they knew th could depend on one another when they needed it, It was the main reason they both kept going. With that id Elie knew that he couldn't let down his father, “to have lived and endured so much, was [he] really going to let {his] father die now” (105). During the time of their running from camp to camp they would take turns where “[Elie] would watch over [his father] and his father] will watch over [Elie]. [They] won't let each other fall asleep. [They would] look after each other” (89). Through their own difficult times, they had each other's backs so that the other wouldn't give up so easily. ‘Their father-son relationship isn’t like others; it has its ow liule meaning beyond thi with everything ‘hat wag going on. It ties down the level v of emotion and connection between the two. The relationship Elie and his father have is all about the act of dependability. Elie’s — experience throughout Holocaust was rough but having his father with him at the time, Elie managed to keep the bond they had between them alive. How Elie Wiesel’s Night proved this, importance of relationship was through him and his father; with the ongoing time and how it strengthens, how they have each other’s backs and how they could depend on one another for anything. Through the roughest times if gne tries hard enough, they are able to maintain a relationship no matter the situation of it. \
