NIGHT essay needs editing

[Techno 5.0]

Hey guys I have a paper due this upcoming Friday and I need some editing help to make it a very good paper.

I need to get a good grade on this so I can continue going to my private school next year.

Here's the paper.
I'm looking for spelling errors
grammar errors

the paper is a reflection on the book NIGHT by Eliezer Wiesel.
Elie was 15 when he was taken to the concentration camp, Auschwitz. I need to explain how he survived and if losing His faith helped him or didn't help him.

Eliezer Wiesel was a fifteen year old Jewish boy that lived in sighet, transelvania. He lived with his father, mother and younger sister. Elie had a desire to study the teachings of the Zohar, the kabbalistic works, the secrets of Jewish mysticism.
Of all the things that he has been through in sighet, nothing could have prepared him for the stunning struggle he would have to face and ultimately survive. But he couldn't just survive. He would have to lose his past life, his father, and his faith in order to survive. Through out Eliezer Wiesel's story, he does just that.

It was spring of 1944 when German officers arrived in trucks on sighet streets. Elie recently tried to convince his father to sell everything he owned and leave to Palestine, but his father said, "I am to old, my son," he paused. " to old to start a new life. Too old to start from scratch in some distant land…" (page 5).
Normal everyday life in sighet had ceased to exist; Jews were prohibited from leaving their residences for three days. They also were forbidden to own gold, jewelry, or any valuables. Everything had to be handed over to the authorities. Both laws If broken resulted in death.
News soon came upon the residents of sighet; they were being transported. They were placed on a cattle car, eighty people per car. One person was placed in charge of each car. If someone escaped from that specific car the person in charge would be shot.
Elie and his family made their way in the car too a new destination that was held secret from them. A women by the name of mrs. Shächter had been assumbed by other passengers to be completely crazy. But to their false accusations she was actually a prophet that spoke death. Around eleven at night mrs. Shächter had began screaming again. She announced, "Jews look! Look at the fire! Look at the flames!" as the train stopped the Jews saw a chimney that spout flames from it's mouth. A couple things could be going through Elie's head right now; what is making the fire come out of the chimney, why is this happening and where is God?

When the Jews were let out of the car, Elie held his fathers hand. His family stayed together until being seperated later. The women were being seperated from the men. The woman were unfortunately useless and thus sent to the cremetorium, the place where they burned and killed Jews. Right when Elie and his father broke away from his mother and sister it meant death for them. His mother and sister, being females, were taken to the cremetorium. At the time Elie knew nothing of this. He didn't know that his mother and sister were going to die. But watching piles of babies and children being thrown into the fire did not help Elie's confidence in seeing his mother and sister again. Elie compared that night to a horrible nightmare. In which he believed that he would soon awaken from to find himself in his house in Sighet. This shows that at the begining Elie doesn't believe any of this is possible. It takes him awhile to comprehend that this is not a dream.

Elie managed to stay with his father. When an inmate had Said, "hey, kid, how old are you?"
Elie replied, "fifteen."
"No. Your eighteen." the inmate told him. (page 30) Eighteen was the age of being an adult, the age in which you were a man and thus usefull In this extermination camp.
Later, Elie was yet interregated by yet another man. This time it was an SS officer.
"your profession?" he asked Elie.
Tell him that I was a student?
"Farmer," I heard myself saying (page 32). This lie saved him. Being a farmer means you have endured hard labor. Being a student that just arrived in Auschwitz renders you useless and fit for the cremetorium. This is another form of instinct.

Many Jews watched as their friends, family members and people they didn't even know were cast into the fire and burned. Some people including Elie's father spoke a prayer, "May his name be celebrated and sanctified." Elie did not understand why God's name should be sanctified if all this was happening. The almighty, the eternal and terrible master of the universe, chose to be silent. What was there to thank him for? (page 33). Elie is realizing that all that has happened isn't a dream. He is wondering why God hasn't done anything to save them. This was his first conflict with God during his time in Auschwitz.

During his stay at another barrack under the leadership of a gypsy; Elie's father politely asked the gypsy where the toilets were. The gypsy slapped him. The strength of the slap sent him down to the ground and crawling back to Elie on all fours. This disturbed Elie as he thought; I stood petrified. What had happened to me? My father had just be struck, in front of me, and I had not even blinked. I had watched and kept silent (page 39). Elie did not understand that he had made a very smart move. Staying silent and motionless saves him from a possible slap or worse. This was yet again instict.

The main problems were incorrect usage of "to" and "too", as well as changing from past to present tense.

Why the heck would you write a essay on your ipod?

[lollicat]

Alright!

We read _Night_ just a few weeks ago in my literature class. After that, we watched _The Boy in the Striped Pajamas_… D; Horribly sad concept, but it needs to be learned, I suppose.

Eliezer Wiesel was a 15 year old Jewish boy that lived in sighet, transelvania. He had lived with his father, mother and younger sister. he also had a desire to study the teachings of the Zohar, the kabbalistic works, the secrets of Jewish mysticism. 
Of all the things that he had been through in sighet, nothing could have prepared him for the  struggle he would have to face. He would have to lose his passed identity, his father, and his faith to survive.  

It was spring of 1944 when German officers arrived in trucks on sighet streets.  
Normal everyday life in sighet had ceased to exist; Jews were prohibited from leaving their residences for three days. They also were forbidden to own gold, jewelry, or any valuables. Everything had to be handed over to the authorities. Both laws If broken resulted in death. 
News had soon came on the residents of sighet; they were being transported. They were placed on a cattle car which held 80 people per car. One person was placed in charge of each car. If someone had managed to escape from that specific car the person in charge would be shot.  
Elie and his family had made their way in the car to a new destination that was held secret from them. A woman by the name of Mrs. Shächter had been presumed by other passengers to be completely crazy. But to their false accusations she was actually a prophet that spoke death. Around 11 at night Mrs. Shächter had began screaming again. She announced, "Jews look! Look at the fire! Look at the flames!" as the train stopped the Jews saw a chimney that spouts flames from its mouth.  

When the Jews were let out of the car, Elie held his fathers hand. His family stayed together until being seperated later. The women were being seperated from the men. these women were unfortunately useless and thus sent to the cremetorium, the place where they burned and killed Jews. At the time Elie knew nothing of this. He did not know that his mother and sister were going to die. But watching piles of babies and children being thrown into the fire did not help Elie's confidence in seeing his mother and sister again.  
Elie compared that night to a horrible nightmare. In which he believed that he would soon awaken from to find himself in his house in Sighet. At the beginning Elie doesn't believe any of this is possible. It takes him awhile to comprehend that this is not a dream. 

Elie managed to stay with his father. When an inmate had Said, "hey, kid, how old are you?" 
Elie replied, 15 
"No. Your 18 the inmate told him. (page 30) Eighteen was the age of being an adult, the age in which you were a man and thus usefull In this extermination camp.  
Later, Elie was yet interregated by yet another man. This time it was a SS officer.  
"your profession?" he asked Elie.
