As his father sleeps, Wiesel watches over the older man, making sure he's safe and breathing. At one point, the elder Wiesel "awoke with a start. He sat up, bewildered, stunned, like an orphan." What's significant about this particular simile choice?

Respuesta :

Answer:

An Orphan

Explanation:

Orphan is a word Wiesel considers because he was tired of dragging an unwilling-to-live man everyday.

This is to make sure that his father doesn't die in his sleep as if he does that would make Wiesel an orphan, which is kinda ironic because as when he wakes up he feels like a bewildered, stunned, like an orphan "meaning that his father could have or may die in the future.
