Compare And Contrast Elie And Schindler

252 Words1 Page

Elie and schindler have a really common life. Elie is from the movie and schindler is from the book “Night”. The two men are jews and they live a hard life of being jews. In my opinion, i think that Elie is a way better person then Schindler. Why? Because Elie cares about stuff that means to him, unlike Schindler. He only cares about himself and not others. Also he only wants what he wants , and all the money. Elie would struggle by saving his father from dying because if he would of died, then he’d have to die too. He’d also struggle from saving his foot. His foot had an infection that caused death. Schindler would struggle by keeping his company started and also making sure everyone goes where they need to go, which wasn’t that important.

  • Important Quotes In Night By Elie Wiesel

    1425 Words  | 3 Pages

    Elie had to somehow move on with his life, a seemingly impossible task. After he became a free man it dawned on him that he had to speak for those who were silenced by this atrocity. He made it his life's mission to inform people of his story not for pity, but for prevention, “…that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.” Elie made the best of a bad situation. As opposed to letting what happened to him resigned within him, he used it and opened up others and inform them. Elie later went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize for his brilliantly written memoirs of his experiences. He took the best of a bad situation. His circumstances pushed him to the limits. Instead of resenting the world and closing off, he used his knowledge to better mankind. Everyone is placed in dire circumstances at some point in time, some more difficult than others. Elie Weisel is an inspiration. Just like him we should never let the wrong doing of others break us, nd instead let them inspire

Yes is father did die but, he never lost the bond that had grown, though not many could say the same. A boy named Meir and his father lost this bond and much more.

  • Similarities Between The Book Night And Schindler's List

    213 Words  | 1 Pages

    After watching the movie Schindler’s list and reading the book night you can obviously spot some of the similarities between the two of these stories. The movie Schindler’s list directed by Steven Spielberg is about a nazi named Oskar Schindler. He started making money of the jews and the war at first. Then Oskar Schindler had changed for the better to save 1,200 jews from being killed in the holocaust.

Sure these two stories are completely different type of views but there are some comparison and contrast that I have found by watching Schindler’s list and reading the book

  • A Report On Schindlers List

    1280 Words  | 3 Pages

    Thomas Keneally’s Schindler’s List is the historical account of Oskar Schindler and his heroic actions in the midst of the horrors of World War II Poland. Schindler’s List recounts the life of Oskar Schindler, and how he comes to Poland in search of material wealth but leaves having saved the lives of over 1100 Jews who would most certainly have perished. The novel focuses on how Schindler comes to the realization that concentration and forced labor camps are wrong, and that many people were dying through no fault of their own. This realization did not occur overnight, but gradually came to be as the business man in Oskar Schindler turned into the savior of the Jews that had brought him so much wealth. Schindler’s List is not just a biography of Oskar Schindler, but it is the story of how good can overcome evil and how charity can overcome greed.
