Question

Read this passage.

In this excerpt, Wiesel describes how his fellow inmates at Auschwitz behaved in the barracks.

excerpt from Night by Elie Wiesel

Some of the men spoke of God: His mysterious ways, the sins of the Jewish people, and the redemption to come. As for me, I had ceased to pray. I concurred with Job! I was not denying His existence, but I doubted His absolute justice.

What does this excerpt imply about Wiesel?

He longs to believe in God as he once did.

His faith in God has been deeply shaken by his experiences.

He considers his fellow inmates to be naive and foolish.

His religion is more important to him now than ever before.

Answer 1

His faith in God was shaken by this experience. What he's saying in that paragraph is "I believe God exists but why does he let us suffer?" Due to this he stopped praying. He didn't think there was any point if God didn't help. He'd lost faith in a merciful God.

Answer 2

Answer:

His Faith in God has been deeply shaken by his experiences

Explanation:

when he says he ceased to pray its implies he doesn't believe in god but when he said he was not denying his existence but his absolute justice, I believe it means he had been wronged for no reason and eh blames god for it, for if god was truly omnipotent he could have stopped it. but this is jusat my interpretation, I haven't read the book so if anything you should compare with other answers, if they are like this one then this is correct
