Courage. Anxiety. Shock. – all fearful emotion experienced by young Elie Wiesel in the Holocaust memoir, Night, as he witnesses the brutal, heartless slaughters of innocent children. Elie fears for his own life, along with his father’s. Many emotions come alongside of fear that can drastically affect people’s lives, those affects can either be good or bad.
 Weaknesses that come from fear is hiding from problems and failure due to the fear of the challenge. For example, Jim, a scrawny little freshman, fears all-state linebacker, who is known in the school for bullying. When Jim comes near or even in eye contact with the hulk-built-bully, he runs at the speed of light to get away. Another weakness other than hiding is failure. In addition, final game of the state championship, the panthers versus the roughnecks, and the panthers fear making a mistake and causing a loss. So much fear distracting them all, gives the perfect opportunity to run straight down the field and into the end zone. Something desired for the longest time can be torn away because of the fearfulness of the situation.
 On the other hand, some strengths that come from fear are a strong mindset and the bringing together of people. For example, a freshman tennis player tries out for the varsity team. So much fear rushing around him and he says to himself, “turn this fear into something greater.” And it finally hits him like a roaring wave in a tsunami and feels as if he can do anything and makes the team. Fear also brings people closer together. In addition, Elie fears the death of his father, causing him to go to extreme measures such as, giving his father food and clothes, standing up for his father, and pushing him through the treacherous marches. Even with extreme fear in the Holocaust, Elie still manages to bring out the strengths of the fear. Strengths come from fear as when being strong minded.
 Therefor, as Elie fights to survive the holocaust, he turns fear into strong-life-saving-potions, yet still experiencing weakness.
