(pg. 91) en-us 2019-04-10 00:05:18 UTC 2019-05-15 23:59:03 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Balance.png antonbernadin https://padlet.com/aisoldi/bd7hn4u6xh2v/wish/350308097 My thoughts on how Elie treated and viewed his father at the end of the story are kinda of what I would have done because his father was at the end of his time. On page 110 a blockalteste says "In this place, it is every man for himself, and you cannot think of others. Not even your father. Each of us lives and dies alone. Let me give you good advice: stop giving your ration of bread and soup to your old father. You cannot help him anymore." This means that the man who said this wants Elie to be independent because if Elie wasn't helping his father get the things he needs Elie has a higher chance of surviving because he would be stronger than all the prisoners. I do sympathize with Elie's overall attitude because he didn't wanted his father to die like that he wanted him to go on and he also wanted not to be like Rabbi Eliahu son. On page 91 Elie says "Oh God, Master of the Universe, give me the strength never to do what Rabbi Eliahu's son has done." This means that Elie doesn't want to betray his father when they are near the end because they are so close to being free men and he wants his father to keep fighting ]]> 2019-04-10 12:07:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aisoldi/bd7hn4u6xh2v/wish/350308097 https://padlet.com/aisoldi/bd7hn4u6xh2v/wish/350308187 My thoughts about how Elie treated his father were cruel and selfish. For example, Elie thought that," If only I didn't find him! If only I were relieved of this responsibility, I could use all my strength to fight for my own survival to take care of only myself..." (Night page 106). I can understand why he would treat his father the way he did since he was in a life or death situation. In those types of of situations you can no longer think about others, you only think about yourself. I would probably do the same thing if I was in that situation because I would think,"If I can't take care of myself what makes me think I can take care of other people." The Blockalteste reminded Elie that,"in this place, it is every man for himself, and you can not think of others. Not even your father" (Night page 110). ]]> 2019-04-10 12:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aisoldi/bd7hn4u6xh2v/wish/350308187 hayden0528041 https://padlet.com/aisoldi/bd7hn4u6xh2v/wish/350455172 One of my thoughts on how Elie treated his father at the end of the novel is how Elie didn't even cry when his own father died. On page 112 Elie states, " I did not weep, and it pained me that I could not weep, but I was out of tears." I understand that Elie was out of tears through out this devastating experience in the holocaust but I think Elie had no emotion after all of these years. Another reason why I think that Elie treated his father at the end of the novel is because Elie gave his rations away to stay with his father and to give his rations to his ill father. On page 111, Elie states, " For a ration of bread I was able to exchange cots to be next to my father." This shows that Elie would do anything for his father. Another quote states, " When the doctor arrived in the afternoon, I went to tell him that my father was very ill." I do sympathize with his overall attitude because Elie was there for his father when he was ill. ]]> 2019-04-10 16:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/aisoldi/bd7hn4u6xh2v/wish/350455172
