Utopia… dystopia… its really just a matter of what people think is perfect and imperfect. In a utopia, everything is perfect and nothing could ever go wrong and it’s perfect for everyone. On the other hand, a dystopia is a place where things are dreadful because of certain people or certain things. By doing so, Hitler thought it was necessary that all the Jews be eliminated and not allowed to live. While Hitler was creating this so called “utopia”, it was really just a dystopia for all the Jews involved. In his “utopia” death of the Jews is nothing, it’s supposed to be this way. Another way he did this is attempting to kill the Jewish religion. Also, he believed that the only family’s that should be able to live and be together, are families

Doing this for the Jews, signifies that they are giving blessings over the dead and asking protection over themselves. Throughout the book, Elie’s faith in God goes back and forth. “For the first time, I felt revolt rise up in me. Why should I bless His name? The Eternal, Lord of the Universe, the All-Powerful and Terrible, was silent. What had I to thank Him for?” Elie at this point in the story, when he says this, is no longer wanting to praise and thank God because of what He is making all the Jews suffer through. Yet today, when people practice in a religion, they do it mainly without much question, they always have faith and don’t stop believing completely because something doesn’t go the way they planned.

Not to remain alone… It was imperative to stay together.” In the beginning Elie didn’t want to lose his father, no matter how hard it was to make sure they stayed together and alive, he wanted to stay with his father. But later in the story after being in the camp for a while, Elie began to change. Because of everything that was happening in the camp, Elie had to learn how to resent his father because he couldn’t risk getting in trouble and being killed. Once, when Elie and his father were working, his father started being beaten. Elie stands there and lets it happen. “I had watched it all happening without moving. I kept silent. In fact, I thought of stealing away in order not to suffer the blows. What’s more, if I felt anger at that moment, it was not directed at the Kapo but at my father. Why couldn’t he have avoided Idek’s wrath? That was what life in a concentration camp had made of me” Now normally, in this generation, people would do anything to keep their family alive and to keep them from getting hurt. They
