What book is this you didn't say
Wiesel will not stay in the room because he is getting afraid.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- At first, Wiesel felt too good to stay in the infirmary. At that time Wiesel has been provided white sheets, better food and he has time away from usual grueling work.
- Even though Wiesel has been provided white sheets and better food, Wiesel got afraid of getting killed.
- Wiesel got afraid because another person in the room said that Wiesel cannot make it through the selection.
<span>The other man says in the story that they don't have time, but i personally don't think the other man would ever actually hold him ransom because like you said all they needed was money for food.
</span><span>Their motivation is probably external considering hunger was the reason for mugging the man. </span>
