In the story "Night" the only thing Elie Wiesel has left is his father. That was the only thing keeping him alive, the only person he really cared about anymore. They struggle together throughout the entire book. Elie also see's other fathers and sons being torn apart. He see's how being put through this can turn you against your own blood. This picture represents the importance of father-son bonds because it shows a child being hugged by his father. It's really a simple little gesture, but it shows how much they care for each other. Just like Elie and his father fighting for their lives together, because they care. A tragedy like they went through would make someone feel so small, and helpless. It would make you wish you were a small child and could just crawl into your father's arms where you would feel safe, and where you could pretend nothing bad could ever happen to the two of you.
