Hope plays a huge role in this chapter as it characterizes the ignorance apparent in Jew's all over europe. Though the few messages the villagers heard scared them, they seemed to persevere and demand only to listen to those of prosperity and good.
It is only when the truth is obvious that they give up their dream of peace.
Hope plays a very big role in this chapter. Whenever someone in the group said something negative they wouldn't believe it because some knew it was the truth. They did not want to hear the truth because it was painful for them. Even though some knew the truth all of them still had hope that a miracle would happen that would save them all. One of them was the narrators father who was always praying and hoping a miracle would happen. He was one of the few who knew that knew firsthand what was going on in the community. For example on page 15, on the bottom of the page his father says "The day after tomorrow. At least-at least, unless things turned out differently. A miracle perhaps...." They were waiting to be deported, but the father kept a possitive attitude by thinking if a miracle happens their future might turn out different.
I disagree with Arielle. They still have some hope left even though they know what is coming. (this is katherina!!)
Hope is an important detail in this character's life. They always seem to use hope to get through life. Whenever they hear news from someone around them, they would not worry because they never believed that it would happen. Their hope that nothing bad was going to happen to them kind of made them blind to everything that was about to happen to them. The people thought that everything was going to be just fine and that everything that was happening to them was not going to last for very long. As I said, their hope was making them blind to what was really happening around them.
Hope comes up a lot in this treacherous book. Even though the jews know what lies ahead of them they carry hope with them, even as they are thrown into the furnace. They continue to hope for justice and peace. Even when they have seen the worst and dealt the worst punishments known to human kind. They still believe that someone will save them from these hell of a times. Hope is their key to survival. It is all they have.
Hope plays the grimiest part of this chapter. It is just amusing to listen to what could happen. But it is still bittersweet. How else would the Jews pull themselves through the horrors they saw? If there were no hope, false or not, the Jews would have all died. Hope is still hard to listen to if in the holocaust and some body said everything was going to be fine I would want to scream "BUT IT ISN'T FINE! IS IT?!". Hope was something you'd try to bring home to your family and tell your children but with the most fake of smiles. Just because hope might bring false promises didn't mean you should go around spreading dismay and grief among the ghettos. How would this help? You needed to be alert and on your toes and try to help out in any way possible. There is always a downside for "too much" too much optimism and to much pessimism. -pablo
Hope plays a very big role in this first chapter. Hope was what everybody relied on. It was a life line and a source of sustenance. This was before the Jews were aware of what was actually happening and what was to come. They brainwashed themselves with hope and refused to see the signs that told them to flee. In this way, hope was a sort of bad thing because it numbed them and blinded everybody. But also, without hope, they would have collapsed. They relied so heavily on it that it became like food and water to them, necessary for survival. without hope chaos would reign and they would have lost faith.
Hope has a major role in Night. The Jews know that something is going to happen to them and yet they look at the unlikely but positive options. They pray and hope that God will have mercy on them.
Hope was a very important part of chapter one in Night. Hope was what got them threw the dismal time. Especially when new news comes to them, like when they find out they have to live in the ghetto, they use hope to tolerate it. Hope was almost what kept them alive, it was almost an essential in their life. Hope was what made them look past the oppression that was happening to them, it was like a blanket that covered up the sadness. Hope was what kept them from falling apart. With hope, they stayed faithful in their religion and they would have had felt their was nothing to live for.
Unfolding into this dark chapter hope becomes a major part of this chapter and serves as a light to the darkness.
While I was reading the chapter, a part of it was very interesting. On page 8, starting in the new paragraph, he mentioned that his family celebrates Passover and I think that there is a little hope in their religon. Because even if they are going through this awful time, they still celebrate Passover.
Looking into this chapter, a lot of events happen and one of them was in the train. I think that the people on the train are very confused to what the SS are doing to them. The fact that they're being taken to a place of total mystery was scary and the question to unfold was what they were going to do when they got there.
In addition, if I were to step in their shoes, the place of total mystery would be a sign of hope at the begining then entering the stage of misery towards the end.
Hope plays a predominant place in Night. The Holocaust was a huge event in history, and without hope, no one could have survived. If you had your homes taken a way, and were evicted from the ghettos as shown in Night, then what else did you have besides hope. You had the scary stories of the Moishe the Beadle, a man who was evicted because he was a foreigner. He escaped and told the tales of his companions who had to dig their own graves, and then were shot to death and put in their tombs. You had the news by radio of Hitler and his Nazi party. You had the fear in your stomach that was slowly sinking to the bottom. You had to wake up everyday in the ghettos knowing that the end was near. You couldn't have survived these dark times without hope. When you saw your neighbors be lined up outside your house, and the Hungarian police call them names,, you had to hope that tomorrow, that wouldn't be you standing in their place. Hope is in the hearts of every jew living during the Holocaust. They couldn't have continued without hope. Hope that the war would end. Hope that their family wouldn't be torn apart. Hope for a better future. Without hope, they had nothing to live for.
hope is the final rise that makes the fall even greater. every time the jews dare to hope their ambitons are dashed on the floor. even after they are on their way they continue to hope. this showes what ignorance can do to you. they knew not what would happen to them so the dared to hope. hope is the final downfall in this chapter and it always precedes the biggest pain.
no matter what, the jew in Elie's community are always hopeful and optimistic about their future. They avoid at all costs the fact that they might be taken away to horrible concentration camps. When Elie and his neighbors are sent to the little ghetto, the neighbors think that maybe it is for their own good, or at least that things will return to normal after the war. It is not until they arive at the reception center for the camp that Elie and his neighbors realize how much danger they are in. Perhaps the reason why optimism is so important to Elie's neighbors is because they are trying to hidethe fact that they all know what is going to happen to them. Or maybe they are making an effort to make the best of their situation. Either way, Elie's neighbors never accept the truth unti it is thrust upon them.
Hope blinds the Jews in this chapter. Insted of acsepting that they might be in great danger and that they need to flee; they hope for the best and not realize the danger of the Hugarian police and the Nazis. I do not think that the Jews in this chapter should have relied on hope because the Nazis/Hungarian Police were dangerous especialy towards Jews. They blinded them selfs with hope and did not escape when they had the change. Even just an attemt to escaping would be better that having to go through all of the pain and the bad times the nazis inflicted in them. Hope plays a huge part in this chapter but I do not think it played a good part. They had a chance to escape the grat challenges and peril that they were about to experience but desided to do nothing and procrasinate their time away.
Hope is so important in this chapter because it's basically the only thing the community has that can reassure them that there's a chance their life will get better. That they will be able to get through the dangers in their lives. Hope is also the only thing that's keeping them open minded and keeping their souls alive. If they didn't keep themselves alive, awake, and just gave up on hope. It's like they just gave up on a fifty fifty chance of surviving. If they didn't have hope or werent open minded about the environment that they were about to step into there was that possibility no one would get through it. Thats the reality, and since this community thought about the brighter sides they all imagine that the camps won't be that bad. Hope holds the community together to make sure they get through the dangers that were about to enroll in their lives.
Hope Plays a gigantic role in the first chapter. The jews had to hope for the better all the time. Hope helped them to let go of their insecurities and focus on the good things yet to come. I also think that the truth plays the role of the bearer of bad news. Everyone hated the truth because it has a negative effect on everyone. I agree with Katherina that they still have hope. An important thing in life is to never lose hope. Sometimes knowing what is coming gives you more hope.
I agree with Erika. Hope is a very important factor in the opening chapter of the book. Also, hope plays the role of blinding those who had hope that what had happened to their loved ones, would not happen to them. In this book, and in reality sometimes, hope has the power to create an imaginary world where you are an exception when pain approaches.
Hope plays a big part in this chapter but it often is battling with denial. I think that when the villagers came off as not believeing what the narrator's master was telling and warning them about, they were not only denying it, but I feel that they were subconsciously HOPING that it wasn't true. Hoping that something so horrid could and would never happen to them. We see this a lot throughout this chapter, denial mixed with hope.
Hope is key in the Jew's survival. The jews believe that if there is one thing that they can believe in besides their religion, it is hope. Although hope could not solve their problems it is what guided them through their struggles of living in the ghetto. The jews believed that if there was something to live for it would be to believe that they could get out of this horrible situation. It was impossible for the Jews to know what was going to soon come, but if they did i am sure that there would be a much smaller sense of hope. If the jews knew what was soon going to come they would be more concerned on how to get out of the situation and be much less hopeful.
Hope pays a large role in this chapter. Hope is the optimism that the people need to cary on. Hope is the stories and maybes that the people tell themselves and each other. Even though they know that the things they are saying are false, it gives them a bit of hope to be able to think that maybe their future is brighter than what they know it will be. The only way they could stay positive and keep on going with there daily life was to have hope. When hope is lost it is harder to live, the stories and hopeful ideas was what helped them through the last few days they had at home.
Hope got the Jews through life. It plays a big role in this story. It got them through the holocaust and helped them regain confidence. Without hope, they would have never survived.
Hope plays a big part of this chapter. The people that lived in Elie town were hoping that theld not come to Germans would not come to them. "The Russtianian army's making gigantic strides forward... Hitler won't be able to do us any harm even if he wants to" this is a sign of hope they don't directly say the word hope in the chapter, but they show it in the way people talk. The people in this town act like they are om the other side of the world and nothing can hurt them. They try to push themself as far away from the other things that are happening in the world.
Hope plays a big role in the opening paragraph. It plays a role of the last hope and also ignorance. It is ignorance because they don't believe the Germans are coming. Also after the Germans come they don't flee when they are being nice and not making degrees. Its a last hope when families begin to get evicted from their homes.
In the first chapter of Night, hope plays a very key role. Whenever anything bad happened to the Jews they would hope that the world would get better. Even though they are hearing about the terrible world around them, they still celebrate Jewish holidays and hope for a better life. Because of all the hope the Jews have, it blinds them. They aren't able to see all the terrible things in the world around them.
Hope is what keeps the Jews of Transylvania going. Hope is what made them take the next step. Hope is a good thing and a bad thing in this chapter. Hope is what made them able to not go crazy in fear. Hope also is what kept them arrogant and didn't take heed and ran when they should. Hope created all the false senses of security, such as when Moshe told them of what happened; They thought he was crazy. If they had taken word of what he said, they could have gotten out of that town before the police to too much control of their lives. Also when they were being deported they brushed it off as saying that they were being moved because the front was coming in. Hope in this chapter helped them live and was a major factor in their life even before the war. The war just made it bind them tighter and not see through the fog of deception. This is what led this Jewish town to be taken away. this is kevin
Hope plays a very meaningful part in this chapter. Mostly hope is represented through religion and trust. Even though they were being threatened, invaded and phsycho logically damaged. They believed that as long as you had faith, the battle would demolish in time. In the first chapter it took a while to believe that. When the narroator was talking about how he saw all if his teachers, neighbors, family etc.. With such devastation and horror in there eyes, it was hard to look up to anyone. That was the moment of realization that all there left to do was hope.
Hope helped maintain optimism among the Jewish community in Chapter 1. The strength of will was guided by hope, even dire warnings from Moshe had not moved the civilians. When the Germans arrived, the people tried to expel "myths" of deported Jews being exterminated. They even made up tales to raise morale. It was really sad that their hopes would end...in disaster.
Hope plays a very big role throughout chapter one of Night. While in the beginning, to me, it seemed that Elie's community had a sense of naiveness because they believed or their hope was that the Hitler take over and new rules, would soon be forgotten. Although they were warned about the horrors they would soon face by Moishe, who they thought was crazy, even though he told his horrendous story the day foreign Jews were expelled from Sieghet. The community decided to depend on the news, that the trouble in Germany would soon be over. "Thereafter, life seemed normal once again. London radio, which we listened to every evening, announced encouraging news: the daily bombings of Germany and Stalingrad, the preparations of the Second Front. And so we, the Jews of Sighet, waited for better days that surely were soon to come." Yet when the day came that German soldiers drove into Sighet the reality didn't click until the people of Sighet were moved to the ghettos were new, extreme rules were placed.
Hope plays a huge role in this book because the people need hope to survive the camps. They would have to think for something to look up to so they could have some hope.
Like everyone else said, it is hope that keeps the Jews going. Though they heard the many bad stories about the "camps" they did not want there whole lives to be based on weather they would go to these camps or not. They did not listn to the bad, but rather hoped for the best. But at times like that, it was the truth that prevailed and not hope.
Hope is one of the most powerful inspirations ever. It can make u fight for your freedom, to speaking out against something u think is wrong. In the chapter hope is a big thing because it helps them carry on. And they are going to need tons of hope to get through the labor camps.
Hope played a very important role in this chapter. It was what kept the Jews from Singhet optomistic and what kept them believing that things would turn out all right. However, in some ways hope acted against the Jews. Their hope that the Germans would not get to them was what clouded their vision and made them think that they were in no danger. Even though the Jews in Singhet were depending on hope, it was eventually the cause of their downfall.
Hope has an interesting role in the first chapter. Hope and truth are sometimes confused in this chapter. The Jews didn't believe the truth but hoped that there would be a better outcome. Their optimism blinded them to see the truth. I think that they needed to rely less on hope and more on the facts.
hope is the only thing that pushes them forward it is like the power of the moon. through they could not see it, and they didnot talk about it and even though all hope was lost, you could tell that it was still there. it was what pushed them forward as they left it was the hope that the greatt red army wuold come to liberate them that thay trusted and relied on. hope is a good thing, but twhen someone puts all of there trust in to is and reliews on on it 100 %, then it is a bad thing. it is aparent that that is what the jews in this cappter did, and they payed there price. they did not pay atention to what was going on around them, so they did not have time to run when it found them. they where used and ended up in a bad position, because they depended on hope to much.
Hope is the only sustenance for the Jews. Despite all the news of persecution and trouble, it seems not to affect them because it hasn't come to them yet. Hope is the last thing they can cling on to. They know in the back of their minds that capture is inevitable, but, the lives that they already have is one that they can not readily give up. They pass off all forms of German invasion off, saying that they won:t be targeted. They even pass it off when their very homes become occupied by soldiers. Hope essentially becomes the downfall of the Jewish community.
hope was a big thing for the jews. it can do a lot of things. hope pushed them forward to believe that their misery would end if they kept believing. it said to them"hang in there." without hope some of them would have just given up all their beliefs to survive. that's another reason hope is big. some were the opposite. they new there was no hope and that just pushed them even more to doing the things that would change the. giving up hope is bad but having to much is even worse. if you have do much you will be to dependent on hoping that you will be fine and then you ignore everything because you think that it will be alright. hope is important but if you can not find a balance between having to much and not having enough then there is nothing left to do.
hope plays a big role in this chapter. however hope is also harmful because although it gives them something to look forward to it also closes thier eyes to the outside world so theu don't see the obvious because they think if they don't think anout it it wont happen.

Although they were warned about the horrors they would soon face by Moishe, who they thought was crazy, even though he told his horrendous story the day foreign Jews were expelled from Sieghet. The community decided to depend on the news, that the trouble in Germany would soon be over. "Thereafter, life seemed normal once again. London radio, which we listened to every evening, announced encouraging news: the daily bombings of Germany and Stalingrad, the preparations of the Second Front. And so we, the Jews of Sighet, waited for better days that surely were soon to come." Yet when the day came that German soldiers drove into Sighet the reality didn't click until the people of Sighet were moved to the ghettos were new, extreme rules were placed.
Hope plays a huge role in this book because the people need hope to survive the camps. They would have to think for something to look up to so they could have some hope.
Like everyone else said, it is hope that keeps the Jews going. Though they heard the many bad stories about the "camps" they did not want there whole lives to be based on weather they would go to these camps or not. They did not listn to the bad, but rather hoped for the best. But at times like that, it was the truth that prevailed and not hope.
Hope is one of the most powerful inspirations ever. It can make u fight for your freedom, to speaking out against something u think is wrong. In the chapter hope is a big thing because it helps them carry on. And they are going to need tons of hope to get through the labor camps.
Hope played a very important role in this chapter. It was what kept the Jews from Singhet optomistic and what kept them believing that things would turn out all right. However, in some ways hope acted against the Jews. Their hope that the Germans would not get to them was what clouded their vision and made them think that they were in no danger. Even though the Jews in Singhet were depending on hope, it was eventually the cause of their downfall.
Hope has an interesting role in the first chapter. Hope and truth are sometimes confused in this chapter. The Jews didn't believe the truth but hoped that there would be a better outcome. Their optimism blinded them to see the truth. I think that they needed to rely less on hope and more on the facts.
hope is the only thing that pushes them forward it is like the power of the moon. through they could not see it, and they didnot talk about it and even though all hope was lost, you could tell that it was still there. it was what pushed them forward as they left it was the hope that the greatt red army wuold come to liberate them that thay trusted and relied on. hope is a good thing, but twhen someone puts all of there trust in to is and reliews on on it 100 %, then it is a bad thing. it is aparent that that is what the jews in this cappter did, and they payed there price. they did not pay atention to what was going on around them, so they did not have time to run when it found them. they where used and ended up in a bad position, because they depended on hope to much.
Hope is the only sustenance for the Jews. Despite all the news of persecution and trouble, it seems not to affect them because it hasn't come to them yet. Hope is the last thing they can cling on to. They know in the back of their minds that capture is inevitable, but, the lives that they already have is one that they can not readily give up. They pass off all forms of German invasion off, saying that they won:t be targeted. They even pass it off when their very homes become occupied by soldiers. Hope essentially becomes the downfall of the Jewish community.
hope was a big thing for the jews. it can do a lot of things. hope pushed them forward to believe that their misery would end if they kept believing. it said to them"hang in there." without hope some of them would have just given up all their beliefs to survive. that's another reason hope is big. some were the opposite. they new there was no hope and that just pushed them even more to doing the things that would change the. giving up hope is bad but having to much is even worse. if you have do much you will be to dependent on hoping that you will be fine and then you ignore everything because you think that it will be alright. hope is important but if you can not find a balance between having to much and not having enough then there is nothing left to do.
hope plays a big role in this chapter. however hope is also harmful because although it gives them something to look forward to it also closes thier eyes to the outside world so theu don't see the obvious because they think if they don't think anout it it wont happen.
