I posted this in Printed Matter, with no responses. I figured i'd get more answers to my questions here. Anyone who has read this book and knows it pretty well, could you answer this, I need 5 examples on how Elies attitude towards God and religion changed from the beginning of the book, to the end of the book.

seriously
look i read it YEARS ago n don't remember shit but lemme try to help you out
skim through the first chap or three and find out what he says about god
skim through the last (third?) of the book and see what he says then
if you can't find anything, well either just powerread through the book or my idea didn't work
hell, remember, the guy's just gone through some horrible shit, that would def change one's idea about one's god, but i dunno if that strengthened his belief or weakened it.

You either worded the question poorly, or your teacher is an idiot. There aren't five examples on how he loses faith in religion, because he only loses his faith once (most people do). Is your teacher looking for five reasons, maybe?
Anyways, he felt abandoned. He felt as though no God could exist while such suffering occured. He was ashamed that he had so fervently studied Kaballah. He looked down upon the people around him who still prayed to their god.
I think the exact moment he said he knew he had lost the faith was when he witnessed one prisoner being hanged, a younger boy.
Its hard to say, I haven't read the book in a few years.

The EXACT essay topic is : "Compare and contrast Elie's attitude towards God and religion at the beginning of the novel and at the end of the novel. You must provide a minimum of 5 specific examples from the novel to explain what causes the changes and when the changes occur."

Re: Night - Elie Wiesel - BOOK
Well his faith sorta faded throughout the book... he belived strongly, then when he got to the concentration camp, he didn't belive that God could cause so much suffering, and when he got out, he started to belive a little more again. I think thats what your looking for. You would have to go into detail and back it up but i think that that's a pretty solid foundation. (If it's not let me know) Birdmann

Re: Night - Elie Wiesel - BOOK
I'm now 'reading' this the SECOND time this year for a different class.
Elie turns into a minimalist, happy for everything he gets and largely unconcerned with anyone other than himself.
