How does Elie Wiesel describe himself as a boy in Night?

This is a good question. There are many ways that Elie
describes himself. We need to keep in mind that Night is his
memoir. In light of this, the whole work tells us something about
him. 

First, Elie was religiously curious. Right from the
beginning, an exploration of his faith interested him. He even sought people to help him
learn more about his faith. This is an important point, because Elie possessed religious
sincerity, a point that will be important in the
book. 

Second, Elie during the holocaust lost his faith. In
the face of evil, he could not hold onto his traditional faith. Where is God in this
evil? Here is what he says:

"For God's sake, where is God?"
And
from within me, I heard a voice answer:
"Where He is? This is where—hanging
here from this
gallows..."

Third, we can say
that Elie is a dutiful son. When sons abandoned even their fathers, Elie refused to do
so. To the end, he was faithful to his father. At times he admits that he did so
grudgingly, but he remained faithful. 

Finally, Elie would
probably view himself as a survivor. He not only lived, but he did not lose his humanity
in the process.
