Going off your first post for Dawn, I agree with you, and what the beggar says, about Night. Night shouldn't be something to fear. But realating that to other books is hard. For example, I read "The Hunger Games" for my quarterly reading debate on banned books. The book talked a lot about the terror of night, and how you don't know what is going on. It cuts off one of your most important senses, your sight. The Night can be a scary thing.
I also agree with you in the statement that Elisha seems lost. I talked about that in an earlier post, so I won't talk about that part of it again.
I'm also seeing another part to the sense of God that Elisha feels. I was reading your post, and I realize that I might have been wrong about him. I was too busy comparing him to the main character in Night, Elie, to realize this. He does seem to have a strong, growing faith. This really makes me see the character in a different light. Maybe he isn't that bad after all, in a way. Besides the whole killing part. I feel that Elisha as a character will continute to develop throughout the story. I think it would be a good thing if he did, especially if he developed religously. It would all open up our minds to a new idea, and show the right path.
