In the book Night Elie and his father, Shlomo, have a very strong relationship, they are able to keep each other going by motivating one another in many different ways.

For example, Elie is having trouble keeping up and continuing to run, so his father is telling him to wait a little longer and to keep going. His father says, ‘“Not here…Get up…A little farther down.
