Furthermore, Vladek helped Madelbaum to get back his spoon and he got him a belt and a pair of wooden shoes. In comparison Wiesel does not show Eliezer taking risks as much as Vladek we only see him risking his life for his father and his golden tooth. A doctor wanted to take Eliezer’s tooth for himself but Eliezer took the risk and kept lying about him being sick and not being able to do the procedure. Another Jew, Frenek, wants Wiesel’s gold crown. Wiesel initially refuses, but Frenek persists, he started beat his father to force Wiesel to yield. He knows Wiesel’s love of his father is his “weak point”. Therefore, Eliezer sacrifices his gold crown to appease Frenek. Clearly Eliezer only risks his life for his father. We see that he does a very wrong decision he was in the infirmary when he injured his leg he did not think rationally and did not risk staying there. He said “where ever my father goes I will
