Elizabeth-Faith lost during night

Elizbeth, I find your blog to be very interesting. As Wiesel becomes fully involved in the Holocaust he begins to question his faith. Which I would find it hard not too. It seems that people question their faith with far less horrific events. You brought to my attention that he was there mostly because of his faith. I had never thought of this before. It seems that I would completely doubt my God that I put so much trust into prior to the war. Although Ellie was seriously angry with God he never fully gives up on him. Even after he states that God is dead, he mentions him and mutters prayers to him. It is interesting to look at the perspective of a veteran who fought in the current war. He offers the view of war and God being completely separate and you cannot make excuses for it. I think that this would be extremely daunting for anyone who has ever fought in a war. I find that everyone whether you have ever been involved with war or not has to constantly check their faith and that it is okay if it continuously changes with changes in your life. 

Done already?

This class was quite intimidating to me at first. I had never used the RSS technology before and did not know what to make of it. I now see it as a great tool, especially for a busy college student who remains in her little box for not having any time to watch the news. It is fun to have very current news fed to you on topics that you want to learn more about. When relating it to current situations, I mostly found that things rarely change particularly when talking about humans and human emotion. I also think that technology has played a big role in the current war from which most things are beneficial.
