'I don't know', I answered, troubled. I had never asked myself that question. I cried because...because something inside me felt the need to cry. That was all I knew. 

Explanation: I think that since he cries during prayer, it shows how connected he feels to his religion. It shows how important his time with God is to him, and that he is emotionally invested in what he is doing during dusk when he prays. ]]> 2021-12-03 19:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1928064140 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1931326964 I wonder why when the father heard the rumors his first reaction wasn't to band together and try to immediately flee. The fact they did not at least try to leave as soon as these rumors were voiced, shows how the Jewish people in the ghetto were in such denial of the fact the Nazi's were trying to exterminate them.  ]]> 2021-12-06 15:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1931326964 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1931347941 Event: Moishe the Beadle was captured and saw many traumatic things. 

My reaction: After reading what Moishe went through and saw I was disgusted. I do not understand how one could torment and murder like the Nazis did. I wish I could better understand why they chose to follow Hitler. ]]> 2021-12-06 15:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1931347941 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1932134850 The view of the flames through the trains windows.]]> 2021-12-06 20:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1932134850 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1933381530 Something that is recurring is, that main events have been happening at midnight. In the first chapter, at midnight, they were captured. In the second chapter, the Jews arrived at Auschwitz at midnight. ]]> 2021-12-07 12:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1933381530 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1933462387 I wonder why the Nazi's who captured and transported the Jews justified their actions. I understand that the circumstances were different for each person responsible for the genocide, but I wonder how so many people were able to make the conscious decision to murder as they did.]]> 2021-12-07 13:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1933462387 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1940727993 Elie was told by a prisoner to say that he was eighteen instead of fifteen. There was a doctor who experimented on children at the concentration camp. Since, Elie listened and lied about his age, he most likely saved his life. ]]> 2021-12-10 16:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1940727993 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1940735112 Instead of being put to death by being burned alive, Elie thought it would be better to kill himself on the electrical fence. He had plenty of opportunity, but he still chose not to. I believe this is because his father gave him hope, and hope is what will keep him alive. I was not surprised that he did not run in the fence. Throughout the book so far, the Jewish people affected by the Nazis, seem to be extremely optimistic.  ]]> 2021-12-10 16:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1940735112 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1940744410 The metaphor. "We were withered trees in the heart of the desert". Elie is comparing himself and the other prisoners to withered trees. The metaphor is explaining how bad the conditions were, and how the prisoners felt. The prisoners are slowly dying there and there is nothing they can do about it because they are in such cruel place.]]> 2021-12-10 16:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1940744410 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1940989760 Quote: "The bread- the soup those were my entire life. I was nothing but a body. Perhaps even less: a famished stomach. The stomach alone was measuring time. 

Explanation: Elie has, sadly, come to terms with what the Nazis saw him as. They saw him as less than human. He realized how his humanity had been stripped away from him. He continues to fight for his life though, regardless of what he is seen as. Hope is diminishing because of his constant near death way of living, but hope is not gone.]]> 2021-12-10 19:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1940989760 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1940995335 Elie sitting on the metro.]]> 2021-12-10 19:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1940995335 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1941002082 "That night, the soup tasted of corpse". I wonder if, the soup only tasted of corpse to Elie, or to all the prisoners. I wonder if, what he was eating was truly corpse, or if he was simply so traumatized by the event that transpired beforehand that he only thought it was human they were eating. ]]> 2021-12-10 19:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1941002082 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1941011766 Quote: "He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death?"

Explanation: Elie is slowly losing faith in his God. I believe he is questioning himself and God. He most likely wondering why God would create these camps and put him in one of them even though Elie worships him. Regardless, I don't think he has given up on God just yet.]]> 2021-12-10 19:47:34 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1941011766 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1947877186 Elie was wondering to himself whether or not he should fast for Yom Kippur. I believe if the Jewish people would have chosen to fast they would have died. They are already famished, so if they fasted they would not have stayed alive. Staying alive and keeping hope was so important. Keeping to their religion and respecting their faith still I believe gives the Jews hope, so it was most likely a hard choice to make. ]]> 2021-12-14 19:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1947877186 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1947886778 Nazi commander]]> 2021-12-14 19:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1947886778 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1947894989 " Faster you filthy dogs". Many Nazis truly saw the Jewish people as less than human. The Jews were constantly being dehumanized by them.

I feel this was his escape. His way of daydreaming to forget what his reality is. I was not surprised when he was getting kicked to go faster. He was tired, and I don't blame him.]]> 2021-12-14 19:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1947903453 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949437960 2021-12-15 13:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949437960 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949456441 Since Elie's father died he felt like there was no reason for him to go on, but despite of that he did not kill himself, he continued to eat and survive. I feel his hope never went away even though his father, his main source of hope, did go away. I wonder where his new source of hope was deprived from.]]> 2021-12-15 13:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949456441 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949469332 Quote: "No thought of revenge or our parents. Only bread". 

Explanation: The Jews were so numb to normality that they didn't think twice about what to do next. The next step was to continue to survive. There was no celebration. Simply another fight to live.]]> 2021-12-15 14:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949469332 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949480686 Elie became ill and had to be sent to the hospital. He hadn't seen himself since the ghetto, and decided to look in the mirror. Throughout the story, Elie talked about the look in people's eyes. I would like to see the difference in his eyes from before we went to the camp to after he went. He most likely saw the world so cruelly afterwards. ]]> 2021-12-15 14:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949480686 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949494440 "The old familiar fear: not to lose him". Throughout the story, Elie's father gave him a will to live. He constantly had to worry about not only himself, but also his fathers life. I couldn't see Elie wanting to go on without his father especially considering he almost killed himself in the beginning of the story, but the thought of his father stopped him.]]> 2021-12-15 14:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949494440 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949501949 crematorium ]]> 2021-12-15 14:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949501949 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949509227 When Elie's father was trying to lie down, I could feel Elie's anger with him through the authors choice of words. Personally I would be angry too. Did his father not want to live any longer? Did he no longer want to fight to survive with him? ]]> 2021-12-15 14:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949509227 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949521985 Quote: "I tired to distinguish between the living and those that were no more. But there was barely a difference". 

Explanation: This shows the theme of death and despair that is present within the story. The people in the camps were so malnourished they looked dead, and they were so numb they felt dead. Elie couldn't tell a difference. ;]]> 2021-12-15 14:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949521985 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949528730 2021-12-15 14:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949528730 autumnbrown16 https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949537713 Quote: "Father! Father! Wake up. They're going to throw you outside". 

Explanation: This quote shows Elie's perseverance. He is not willing to quit the fight to survive, and he most definitely is not willing to let his father die. He has hope still and a will.]]> 2021-12-15 14:26:30 UTC https://padlet.com/autumnbrown16/1vz8x7uka6qr9x90/wish/1949537713
