In the article it says that Eliezer describes himself as a person who believes
profoundly/strongly. The quote that is told means that throughout all the things that have
happened to Eliezer he has always believed strongly in things like for instance how he
believed in god in the first chapter, he bileived that god would save them all and they
would servive the Holocaust. To believe profoundly means to believe strongly and
agree.
On chapter 1, page 1, it says that “ Why did I pray? Strange question. Why did I live?
Why did I breathe?” This quote from Eliezer ment that he prayed but he didnt know why he
prayed, he didnt know why he even existed. Eliezer was really questioning

The quote acually ment kind of life or death
really because he was questioning his life on being alive, he was practicly deciding if he should
kill himself. Eliezer thought that it wasnt worth being there at the camp even to be with his father
he still thought he should kill himeself and not be there and that was questioning on on why does

Why did I breathe?” ment that he didn’t know if he should be alive and if it is worth it to be alive.
In chapter 2-3, page 5, it says that “ For the first time, I felt anger rising within me. Why
should I sanctify his name? The Almighty, the eternal and terrible Master of the Universe, chose

swallowed my ration of soup, I turned that act into a symbol of rebellion, of protest
against him,” This quote ment that now that Eliezer has had seconed thoughts about god
he no longer takes god as a stereotype. Eliezer thinks that god is not a good person
