He was told to sprint as fat as he could, not to walk. This would make him seem physically capable and put color in his face so he wouldn't look so pale( your face can get redish when you run). Also if he wa running fast enough they wouldn't be able to read the identification on his arm therefore they could not write down his identification on the selection list

What were the possibilities of escape for Elie and his family in Night?

By the end of the novel, there is none. A striking blow to their faiths were the pipel's hanging and Elie's contemplation of God, combined with the knowledge that had they stayed in the infirmary, they would have survived together. The only hope that came after that was the resistance of the camp uprising. However, that was abrupt and there was a period of hopelessness during the story as Elie is constantly beaten morally and physically.


How do the people Wiesel interacts with strengthen or diminish his hope and desire to live?

1. The Nazis had two different effects on Elie's desire to survive. They made him feel tired and defeated at times and at other times they made him more resolved to live. The presence of having his father with him benefited Elie in the beginning because he was not alone enduring the experience. He had someone with him who loved him. They needed each other and worked together to survive. Later in the story Elie finds his father has become a burden for him. He has not stopped loving his father, but he feels that he could survive better if he were not present. The Rabbi and his so probably made Elie less likely to want to live. I believe that Elie was meant to be a survivor and that none of the people affected his decision to continue to go on. It was his nature to try and survive.
