Eliezer's dad slowly degenerates into bad health until the
second to last section of the book. Eliezer's father becomes infected with dysentery,
and this causes his death at the end of the book. Eliezer's father endured a great deal
up to this point. However, the slow withering of both his physical and emotional state
is what causes Eliezer a great amount of pain. The ending of the book involves
Eliezer's father calling out to his son for water, with Eliezer knowing very well his
own internal system cannot handle water. The condition of Eliezer's father is
increasingly weakened, and this leads to his father calling out to him from the bed
below. At one point, Eliezer's father calls out to him and the son ignores his father's
cries. When Eliezer wakes up in the morning, someone else is in the bed, and he never
sees his father again. From this point on, the narrative ends with one more section,
but the ending of the book is something that lingers on with the memory of a son having
neglected the cries of his father.
