I have not read this book, but the idea for your counterargument sounds solid. You'll need to find sections in the book where Elie is reluctant or hesitant to stick with his father. What you find may or may not be dialogue, but use quotations directly from the book that indicate his reluctance.
One of the most tragic themes in Night is Eliezer's discovery of the way that atrocities and cruel treatment can make decent people into brutes. Argue whether or not this happens to Elie himself. Does he remain a good person, or do his experiences corrupt him?
i argued that he was effected because of his experience in the holocaust and that he was corrupted. i'm having trouble writing a counterargument. i wanted to write about how even though he did stick with his father until the end, he did it hesitantly but i'm not sure how to support this or which quotes to use.
