Symbolism Of God In The Book Night

Decent Essays

The symbol I chose for this assignment is God. The reason I chose God is because in the novel “Night” Elie had mentioned Him countless times, which made ‘God’ be significant throughout the novel. God to me means something else, than for Elie. (I have many Gods and Goddess in my religion). For me God is described as a creator with power over nature. The five images I used for the symbol of God are life, forgiveness, love, hope, and peace.
My first picture I chose under the symbol of God is life. This picture of life from God is very important because I believe that everything happens in God’s creation. Without God, there would not be humans or any living things. Without that there would not be any earth. Life is a major symbol for me because …show more content…

The reason I chose this picture is because it demonstrates life. The little foot resembles reproduction in other words, it represents a new generation to carry out your genes and a part of you.
Connection: My personal view of life from God is something to cherish about. In my experiences people always say YOLO (You Only Live Once) but I disagree. People make unwise decisions which made their life end terribly. I know a friend's brother who had been racing in the streets died in a terrible accident. It is hard to accept that we live to die. Life is precious because we live for a certain period of time we have to be ourselves to the fullest.
My second picture I chose for God is forgiveness. The reason why I chose forgiveness is because God would always forgive you for what you have done wrong. They give me another chance to do better and never make the same mistakes again.

It is the people around me that made me draw closer to God and helped me experience the culture, religion and stories of each of my Gods and Goddess. In most religions, people pray to God is because God gives them love and people in return give back the love. We love God since we respect for their sacrifices they did for us and to give me the opportunity to be in this world today. That’s why I truly love God.
The forth picture represents hope. I chose hope under the symbol of God because when people are in crisis they tend to hope to God for their safety, and for them to be okay. As humans we pay our respects to one another, hoping that God can grant that wish. We also have hope in God that they would guide us to the right dirction in life. We hope since we trust them. They would never leave us or cast us away.
This picture shows a little girl praying to God. She is also closing her eyes, hoping God for answering her prayers. Hope is a feeling of trust or a feeling of a certain desire for things to happen. God would test you to determine if your hope is reliable and if you would keep the hope throughout your lifetime. Hope helps people to become stronger and it also shows respect to God because you know they are there with you and always be with you in your for the good and bad
