Compare And Contrast Elie And Schindler

252 Words1 Page

Elie and schindler have a really common life. Elie is from the movie and schindler is from the book “Night”. The two men are jews and they live a hard life of being jews. In my opinion, i think that Elie is a way better person then Schindler. Why? Because Elie cares about stuff that means to him, unlike Schindler. He only cares about himself and not others. Also he only wants what he wants , and all the money. Elie would struggle by saving his father from dying because if he would of died, then he’d have to die too. He’d also struggle from saving his foot. His foot had an infection that caused death. Schindler would struggle by keeping his company started and also making sure everyone goes where they need to go, which wasn’t that important.

  • A Report On Schindlers List

    1280 Words  | 3 Pages

    Thomas Keneally’s Schindler’s List is the historical account of Oskar Schindler and his heroic actions in the midst of the horrors of World War II Poland. Schindler’s List recounts the life of Oskar Schindler, and how he comes to Poland in search of material wealth but leaves having saved the lives of over 1100 Jews who would most certainly have perished. The novel focuses on how Schindler comes to the realization that concentration and forced labor camps are wrong, and that many people were dying through no fault of their own. This realization did not occur overnight, but gradually came to be as the business man in Oskar Schindler turned into the savior of the Jews that had brought him so much wealth. Schindler’s List is not just a biography of Oskar Schindler, but it is the story of how good can overcome evil and how charity can overcome greed.
