Elie saw it as his duty you ensure his father’s survival and their shared ordeal make them closer, assisting both in their will to survive. During the time Elie and his father spent in the Nazi concentration camps they both changes in different ways but still managed to stick together. The horrifying thing they saw and were made to do forced Elie to learn skills to continue to live. He changed from an innocent child into a young man with only one thing on his mind, survival.

The Importance of Father- Son Bonds The memoir, Night, written by Elie Wiesel tells a young man’s account of the brutal and cruelest event in history, the Holocaust. He explains his struggle with his faith during his time in the concentration camp. Losing his father, experiencing death of others, he begins to lose faith in God, only remaining the faith he has for his father; that eventually leads to his survival. At the beginning of the novel, Elie’s and God's relationship was inseparable, he was very religious. Elie wanted nothing more to learn the Cabbala, and was very serious with his studies.
He also knows it may be too late to save him. "It's too late to save your old father, I said to myself..."(pg 105). He felt guilty because he could not help his father, but he knew the only way to survive was to watch out for himself. "Here, every man has to fight for himself and not think of anyone else. Even of his father..."(pg 105).
Indeed, it will leave its mark behind and has some sort of change. Elie, the protagonist in Night, faces changes during the course of the novel. It can be argued that the most significant alteration that Elie experienced happened during the concentration camp. Certainly, I believe the major change Eli had to face was the relationship with his father. Before they were sent to the concentration camp, Elie had little respect for his father and they both lived quite an independent life.
Koiki’s decisions are once again influenced by his family when his father is ill and he is denied access on to Murray Island. Fuelled by his anger towards not being able to see his dying father and that he cannot move his family back to Murray Island, Koiki begins his land right claim. Koiki’s reasons for making these significant decisions were inspired by his love for his family.

The film shows the crucial importance of father son relationships, the strong relationship between Koiki and his adopted father Benny influence Koiki’s appeal to the land right.

Jim was more of a father figure in Huck’s life rather than his actual father. The opening of the book displays a series of events for Huck, " Huck awaits the arrival of his father, escapes him, rushes off in a blaze of ambivalence with his alternate father, Jim." (Segal 20) Just like any child, Huck was in need of a father in his life. He couldn’t talk to the Widow about everything and she wasn’t really his “family.” Huck was extremely rebellious growing up because he didn’t have a father figure tell him right from wrong. The only person Huck could relate to was his friend Tom Sawyer; unfortunately Tom wasn’t the best role model for Huck.

Faulkner’s antisocial characterization of Abner Snopes effectively depicts how lower class life often leads to resentment and destructive behavior. When the family arrives at their new home, Abner remarks to his wife “I reckon I’ll have a word with the man that aims to begin tomorrow owning me body and soul for the next eight months” (506). Abner is full of bitterness and jealousy.
