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.
