Night
In the camp was based on survival. It depended on what was helpful they will do anything to
stay warm, to kill the hunger, or to help with the thirsty.
This is shown in the play when Elie’s says “we all threw blankets over our shoulder, like prayers
shawls”(915). This moment in the novel shows how her survival conformity was guide by the
people who was also in the camp. Survival was not only important to Eliel but also for all of the
prisoners at the concentration camp. This is shown when in the novel she mentions that the ss
officers says “ volunteers set to work. They felt those who were still crouching “ here is one!
Take him!” they undressed him … the survivors avidly sharing out his cloth”(916) This situation
shows that the rest of the people from the camp were trying to survive by using the cloth from
the people who died and were it to keep their bodies warm. In conclusion conformity is a main
factor in the survival of characters in Night, conformity survival changed when they left the
camp, at the camp as is shown all of them cared and helped each other to survive, we saw that
changing when they got into the train, they did not cared who was dead or not the only thing that
was important to them was their own survival.
