Wherever men are fightin' for their rights,. Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge. Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest. But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes.
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light. Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last. You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand. Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy. Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air.

Elie is an ever-changing character: his struggle for his faith and conflicting himself about it, his struggle between his faith and the other inmates, and his struggle between God and his relation to Job; even though the underlying conflicts are between Elie and God solely.
Elie had once believed that God was the almighty and contained all of the higher power. But, as the concentration camps changed multiple people mentally and physically, the camps had changed Elie too. No matter how strong Elie had once believed in God, that strong belief had dimmed down to a dull minimum, a slim-to-nothing belief left behind.
