I can not even imagine what it would be like to live the life of Eli Wiesel. Taken from his home when
he was only fifteen. Plunged into a world of torture and survival where people would sacrifice their own father just to live.
Losing his mother, sister and his childhood forever. He also had to watch his father die, when he himself made the decision
that ultimatly killed him.
If i had to leave my home to be herded into a ghetto like cattle i would be devastated. Not only would i
have to leave behind 16 years of memories but when i finally reached my destination i would be split from my mom and younger
brothers forever. I would want my life to end at this point i couldnt even fathom having to live without the rest of my family.
Being beaten everyday and having all spec of personality taken from me i would just wander around the earth souless welcoming
death. Even after if i was liberated i would still not be able to live. How could you live after witnessing such pain and
anguish.
Its people like Eli Wiesel that make you look at your life and appreciate what you have. This is a man that
lost everything in his life and he never gave up. He even revisited all his bad memories and wrote a book about it to tell
the world of his suffering. It makes me feel ashamed to get angry of things like a homework assignment when this man was watching
his father die. It really pulls at your heart strings and makes you love the life that has been granted to you.
