What impacted me the most?Why?What impacted me the most is in Chapter 1 is when Elie Wiesel ask himself why does he pray, why did he live and why did I breathe. They reason why this impacted me the most is because he doesn't know the reason why he does this. And also, he doesn't really know the meaning of any of this stuff. How can he pray, live, and breathe if he doesn't really know the meaning of any of these things. The one that caught my eye was pray. He is a jew and he prays without knowing what he want, and needs. Why does he live? He lives to worship his God. Also, give praises to his God. Why does he breathe? He breathes so he can pray to God and also, praise and worship him. Basically in order to live you need to be breathing and in order to pray you need to be living. It's like a cycle.

Chapter 2

"Fire! I see fire"
Why is this quote important. Well it is important to me. I remember the time when I lived in my townhouse and it was about to be dinner time. My mom was frying chicken and making mac n cheese. I was upstairs playing video games with one of my older brother and I think we were playing sonic. We were about to beat a level until my mom was shouting "Fire, fire!" I was frightened, and I was about to run out the house and check on my mom. I went downstairs to see if she was okay but when I got down there, the fire was gone and there was smoke from the kitchen through every room in the on the first floor. I asked her where the fire was and she told me that she put it out. She told me to go back up stairs and my brother and I have to stay in the room until she told us to. So I did what she told me to, but when I was upstairs with my brother, I had images of my house burned down with all the houses next to us gone with ours, my family on the streets, homeless, and nothing valuable in our hands. All of that would had happened if my mother wasn't there to put out the fire. And if she wasn't there in the kitchen like she was somewhere else in the bathroom or her room, the house would've probably burn down with us in it but thanks to my mother, we didn't have to experience that at all. I'm and so grateful for mother for stopping the fire, for protecting us without my brother and I seeing the danger, for us to live and to see my dad and my other brother again, and for being my mother.

Chapter 3

"Not fifty. You're forty. Do you hear? Eighteen and forty"
Obedience can take you a long way. If Ellie and his father were not obedient they might have died and would've never made it as far as they did. The two of them may not have understand why the man told them what to say when they entered the camp, but i'm certain they will thank him in the long run. As of now both Ellie and his father are still living. Just like our parents, we may not ever understand why they tell us yes or no, but it is important to obey them because some things they tell us can save our lives. Even though people are disobedient, they can still learn from their mistakes and eventually benefit from it. I remember one time when I was 10 and I went to a buffet in Georgia. It was Tuesday and at the buffet, if you were 9 and under, you get to eat for free. I didn't know that they had a special for Tuesday but my mom did. My mother told me that to say to the waiter I was 9 years old. When my mom told me that, I soo confused. I did not know what she was talking about but I just went with it. The guy at the front asked me if how old was I and I said 9. Then he told me that I could eat for free. I was soo happy that he told me that and I ate and ate and ate until my stomach was full. That went on to be the best day of my life.

Chapter 4

"Where is God now?"
Why that quote is important to me? This quote is important to me because it hit me like why is this fool praising, praying, worshiping God, reading the torah and the next day saying where is god now? Even thought I'm and Christian, I believe everything in the torah cause the torah is the old testament in the bible, you have to believe that God is everywhere. He is protecting. You haven't stop breathing air yet. He is putting food on your plate. He is putting cloths on your back. He is giving you shelter to live. Even though he is not giving enough of what you want or enough of what you need, at least he is thinking about you and giving you what you want and need. Be thankful for the stuff you get because if you didn't anything, then you would've be gone as in dead or just sick and is about to die. God is everywhere, but you just got to believe that. If you believe that God is everywhere , then you will have nothing to worry about cause Gods got it.

Chapter 5

"Yes, man is stronger, greater than God."
Why is this quote important? The reason why I think this quote important because this guy think that man is stronger and greater than God. If he/she really thinks that man is stronger and greater than God, then try to created the heavens and the earth. Try to create light with saying "let there be light" without electricity. Try to created the moon, the sun and the stars. Try to created sea animals that will swim in the ocean. Try to created grass and plants without using seed. Try to created creatures that will roam the earth and live on it. Try to create man with using dust. Try to created woman with using a mans rib. And when your done creating it, all the things on earth have to be seen GOOD. You cant do that. Only God has the power to do that. If he wasn't stronger and greater than you, then who created and gave you life to live on earth? God is stronger, greater than man so don't try to go against him about who is the strongest and greatest.

Chapter 7

"I can't go on, Shlomo!...I can't help it...I can't go on..."
This quote is important to me because this guy just gives up. He doesn't want to go on no more. He just quit because he doesn't want to push no more. I understand that because there was a point in my life that I did want to quit but I never gave up. I didn't not want to give up because I did not want to be the one known as a person who gives up. You got to keep pushing because if you do, you will get to your goal. I remember one time, I was talking to one of my brothers friends and he was a dancer. His name was Dominic and he was on a dance crew called Quest Crew. He told how hard he pushed to be one of the best dancers to the world. He took risk to he could do the next move. He told me one time he almost broke his neck while doing a head spin but he still trying to do it so he could perfect it. Then when he perfect it, he wanted to do something else so he could do moves that no other dancer can do.
