Also respond one post from a classmate: (1) How have Elie’s feelings towards God changed since his captivity began? Choose a quote that shows this. (2) Elie encounters both kindness and cruelty in the camp on a daily basis. Choose one example of each, and explain how Elie is affected by these different interactions. en-us 2017-04-27 09:51:40 UTC 2020-01-30 20:26:32 UTC hello@padlet.com tdemo000 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168724922 1. "'Where He is? This is where—hanging here from this gallows...'". This shows that Elie's feelings towards his god have changed because he feels like his god died along with the boy, he feels abandoned and helpless.
2. He finds kindness when he meets Yossi and Tibi, they watch out for him and he watches out for them, he also feels safe around them because he trusts them. "The veterans grabbed the opportunity for further sniggering: 'Now you'll really get a taste of camp!'" This is cruelty because all of the prisoners should stick together but instead they are hurting one another and being rude.]]> 2017-04-27 18:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168724922 abuerger000 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168724930 1) Elie really dislikes god, because he hopes that god will come save them, but Isn't. He's made because god isn't doing anything while people are being slaughtered. "How do you compare to this ticket mess gathered affirm to you their faith"
2) elie saw kindness when he met tibi and yossi, the stocked together before section and after. Yossi made him laugh because they had not been written down. Happy he wasn't going to Be killed. ]]> 2017-04-27 18:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168724930 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168782919 1. He thought he could trust his God now he is wondering where he is. He's also wondering why he's not helping them. For those reasons I think Elie now dislikes his God.
2. And a example of kindness is he makes friends. An example of cruelty is that they are beaten.]]> 2017-04-28 01:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168782919 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168957868 1. Elie's feelings for god have changed dramatically. Earlier in the book he believed that the all powerful "God" would change this and changed how people are being treated. Now in the book he is blaming everything bad happens on 'God". HE also blames the "good" things that happens in the camp on chance and luck.
2.  He see's kindness when he meets yossi]]> 2017-04-28 18:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168957868 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168957921 1) "But look at these men whom You have betrayed, allowing them to be tortured, slaughtered, gassed, and burned, what do they do? They pray before You! They praise Your name!" (Pg. 68) Before all of this happened Elise fully believed and trusted in his God, he even wanted to learn more about mystic Judaism. But now after all that had happened he feels angry, hurt, and betrayed by the God who he believed would protect him. He doesn't understand why his God would allow so many people to die in such horrendous ways. In this quotes you can see how Elie is questioning his Gods silence as the rest of the Jews suffer for believing in him, and yet still even as they're betrayed by him they still believe and worship him. 
2) One kind thing that happend to Elie was when he made friends with Tibi and Yossi and they told him that his name wasn't written down]]> 2017-04-28 18:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168957921 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168958260 he feels as if god betrayed his trust because he wanted to be a religious man when he grew up but now he think that god left him to rot. when he was told by his friends in the camp to come and stay with them]]> 2017-04-28 18:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168958260 emorris000 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168959022 In the beginning of his time at camp he still liked his God but often asked why did he do nothing about the evil that is happening, but now in the story he Feels that his God has done nothing for him and he should not be celabrated. A quote that supports this is on page 68 at the top half of the page it states that"you have betrayed, allowing them to be torchered, slaughtered, gassed and burned" this shows that they are being torchered and they think that they aren't being helped. One example of kindness is on page 71 when they are giving them advice on how to pass the selection. This is kind because they are helping them live another day in camp. An example of curelty is on page 74 when he finds out that his father was selected. He was almost in tears, and this shows curelty for him but it is not bad for other but just for him because Ellie only lived for his dad and no other person or himself.]]> 2017-04-28 18:33:59 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168959022 dzuelsdo000 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168959088 1. Ellie has believed in God for his entire life but when he got to the camp it began to change slowly. When they were saying the prayer he was kind off questioning god. This is probably the hardest part of his life and]]> 2017-04-28 18:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168959088 mliegel000 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168959128 Ellie's beliefs had been the same for his whole life. Until now, he's faced with difficult decisions involving god. These are the hardest moments of his life. And he's contemplating whether or not his savior is there. He hasn't given up all hope, but in these moments of doubt he doesn't have much to believe in. He's seen cruelty with his father, when his father got made fun, and he also experienced kindness when others would help out here and there. All in all you don't know what to think when you're experiencing one of the worst moments of your life, Ellie's been through a lot and still has more to experience. ]]> 2017-04-28 18:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/168959128 hgill000 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169245972 "...you have betrayed, allowing them to be tourtered, slaughtered, gasses, and burned, what do they do?  They pray before you! They praise your name!" Before everything Elie believed in God and had hope in him but now he's angry and feels betrayed by God. A kind thing that happened is when he made friends with  Tibi and Yossi]]> 2017-05-01 17:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169245972 snoble000 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169249266 1. Elie began to believe in God less and less and even began to not follow religion. On Yom Kippur, a day where Jews refrain from eating, he ate his bread. 2. Elie had a golden tooth in his mouth that was supposed to be removed, but wasn't. Later on, his tooth is taken with the assistance of a rusty spoon.]]> 2017-05-01 18:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169249266 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169249603 2017-05-01 18:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169249603 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169249734 Elie feels betrayed by God for being scent to the camp and seeing all the people die and get killed]]> 2017-05-01 18:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169249734 jaguiler000_1_3 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169250267 1) elie fells like god betrayed him because he says "how could god let this happen to me... after all the times I prayed"
2) elie finds happiness when he meets tibi and yossi ]]> 2017-05-01 18:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169250267 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169252546 He has come to believe that god, this once man of all hope, isn't real or has betrayed them. He shows this on page 69 when their holiday requared them to fast, he refused stating "And then, there was no longer any reason for me to fast. I no longer accepted God's silence." 

Elie sees kindness and cruel behavoir from the people inside the camp. Idek never liked him and when elie caught him doing something, Idek was not pleased. "He took his time between lashes. Only the first hurt.." (page 58). And out of this whole cruel world some kindness came, "the SS officer offered us a great present this year... the role call was shorter then usual. The evening soup was distributed at a great speed."]]> 2017-05-01 18:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169252546 jkailing001 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169252785 1)Elli has believed in God all his life but now he is not sure if he does because god let him see all this bad stuff and thinks that god has betrayed him. "I no longer accepted God's silence. As I swallowed my ration of soup, I turned that act into a symbol of rebellion, of protest against Him."(pg.69)
2) Tibi and yossi wanted to stick together to make them look stronger so none of them would die and that was a act of kindness because if they did not stick together one of them could of died. The ss officers take away some of there ration of food and that is a act of cruelty. He is effected by it because he could die in any of these situations.]]> 2017-05-01 18:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169252785 nwhalen000 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169252999 1. Elie believed in god his whole life but now elie is starting not to believe in him less and less. He was saying why wasn't god there to help them and he felt that god had betrayed him. On Yom Kippur a day we're all Jews refrain from eating like fasting but elie still ate because he really didn't care about god because he felt that god was not helping them so he ate anyway]]> 2017-05-01 18:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169252999 rmora000 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169253767 Before Elie was sent to the camp he was very religious. As he entered the camp and saw the horrible ways people were being murdered he began to  question how can his almighty God allow this. Elie's feelings toward God changed alot during his experiences at the camp. On page 69 Elie says, I no longer accepted gods silence. As I swallowed my ration of soup, I turned the act into a symbol of rebellion, of protest against Him." 

Elie experiences cruelty daily with work and other people in the camp. When Elie still had his golden tooth he was forced to have it removed]]> 2017-05-01 18:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169253767 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169254022 His feelings toward his God have definitely changed. His belief in God is still there, but he generally looks to God in anger towards his lack of action to stop the madness that transpired throughout the holocaust.  "What does Your grandeur mean, Master of the Universe, in the face of all this cowardice, this decay, and this misery?"  
When Elie first comes to Auschwitz, the man in charge of their black gives them an inspiring speech. Elie describes them as the first human words. This definitely helped Elie morally, knowing it wasn't only monsters that lived alongside him. When Elie's supervisor wants his hold crown, he beats his father until Elie gives in. This was bad for Elie, as he lost his crown, but he also started to second guess his relationship with some of his fellow inmates.]]> 2017-05-01 18:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169254022 csnopek000 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169254609 1-Before Ellie went through the camp he found God to be his relaxation and his comfort. He knew that god was someone who looked after him but now Ellie looks at God and has anger because he doesn't understand why he would be put in this situation. On page 67 Ellie says "Why would I bless him? Every fiber in me rebelled. Because he caused thousands of children to burn in his mass graves..." at this point in the story Ellie is talking about weather not to fast and follow Gods rules. God has put him through enough and Ellie realizes that he is already fasting 24/7. This is a part of anger that Ellie shows and how he look s at God. The way Ellie looks at him has change do tramendously because of the camp. 
2-Ellie experiences kindness and cruelty when he is fed very little. Kindness can be shown in they way they are fed because they are fed food which is kind but not much at all which is not kind and is cruelty. They are being suffered for no reasons but because of who they are and that I should cruelty itself. There is no specific page that you can mark for this because I find it's everywhere.]]> 2017-05-01 18:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169254609 zybarra000 https://padlet.com/LitWithBagnall/6ed2q9r1afpk/wish/169495562 Ellies overall opinion has really changed throughout the book. At the begining, he really talked about God and how he wanted to become this high level of Judaism and more. But since he's been in the camp, he was confused where God was. He thought he betraye them by letting this horrible thing happen. "Why would I bless him?.. Because he caused thousands of children to burn in his mass grave,"-Page 67. This really shows what his thoughts have been recently on god. He feels like it's his fault all of this is happening because he isn't doing anything about it. In conclusion, his opinion has really changed over time. 

He has many different interactions with people in the camp. One of kindness would be the way the doctor treated him with his foot. He gave him good food and helped him when he was nervous about the his procedure. He also had him rest up and get strong enough to go back. But there was also bad encounters with people at camp. Well, one on the guards was cruel to them when working. He whipped Ellie and beat his dad with a medal pipe for not working as much or slowing down.
