Why doesn’t Elie Wiesel like the phrases “Have fun” and “relax”? Connect his background to his feelings about these phrases.

THE SUMMER was coming to an end. The Jewish year was

almost over. On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the last day

of that cursed year, the whole camp was upset/angry and

every one of us felt the tension. After all, this was a day unlike all

others. The last day of the year. The word "last" had an odd ring

to it. What if it really were the last day?

The evening meal was distributed, an especially thick soup,

but nobody touched it. We wanted to wait until after prayer. On

the Appelplatz, surrounded by excited/with electricity sharp-spiked wire, thousands

of Jews, severely upset feelings on their faces, gathered in silence.

Night was falling quickly. And more and more prisoners kept

coming, from every block, suddenly able to overcome time and

space, to will both into submission.

What are You, my God? I thought angrily. How do You compare

to this very upset/very sick mass gathered to promise/state as true to You their faith,

their anger, their refusal to cooperate? What does Your grand beauty mean, Master

of the Universe, in the face of all this weakness and fear, this (rotted, inferior, or ruined state),

and this extreme unhappiness/extreme pain? Why do you go on troubling these poor people's

wounded minds, their sick bodies?
