Friends always look out for each other and they can help you through hard times when you need it. An example in the story was when Eliezer finds two kids in the concentration camp named Tibi and Yossi. Tibi and Yossi wanted Eliezer to stay with them during the selection so together they would seem stronger. Later Eliezer’s dad has to participate in another selection to see if he could redeem himself worthy to be able to still work at the camp and live. Eliezer thought he didn’t pass so throughout the rest of the day he was sad and spaced out. But Tibi and Yossi tried to reassure Eliezer that his dad was going to be alright which showed that they did care about Eliezer’s well being like any friend should. A type of bond that’s unbreakable is the one we share with our parents. They taught us how to do many things in life and have comforted us in times of need as well. As in the story Eliezer’s dad didn’t know that his number was written down during the selection until the last minute roll call for the second selection. During that time he tried to reassure Eliezer that everything was going to be okay. He tried to tell him many things that he wanted to tell Eliezer for so long. Eliezer’s dad also gives him a knife for protection and a spoon. This shows that his father cares very deeply about him and wants Eliezer to carry on even without him.]]> 2020-05-04 14:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/549518181 Angelina C. I believe the strongest bonds people have with others is their friends family and religious bonds. an example from night would be when Eliezers dad had to participate in a selection that he did not pass and this broke Eliezer and he thought he had to be without his dad. This made him want to die himself which shows how strong of a bond family has. I dont really believe there is a bond that is unbreakable because friends can betray you families can break apart and people can stop believing in there faith. In Night his bond with his faith is nearly diminished, he doesn't believe that g*d would do such a terrible thing and that if this is happening there can't be a g*d. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/549623208 2020-05-04 15:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/549623208 Angelina c https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/549648746 People can talk and express their feelings to others which animals cannot do. People are also much smarter than other animals we have an understanding of most things that animals don't and we can learn more complex things than they can. Basic animal instincts that appear in life would be our fight or flight responses because animals do they same thing when they are in danger and our need to keep us safe and defend our selves. Every animal and human want to stay alive and we all have survival instincts. In Night the jews are all fighting for there lives and want to stay alive.]]> 2020-05-04 15:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/549648746 Nick C. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/549698360 As seen throughout the entire book so far, Eliezer and his father have a very close bond that they depend on each other for survival. Both thinking of if the other is still alive then it's still worth living, Eliezer and his father isn't the only ones who show great care for the other to survive, but also tibi and yossi and eliezer who all thought of if they stayed together that they would have a better chance of surviving the selection. After the selection even though Eliezer mainly thought of himself and how he had passed he cared/wondered of how his father would either pass or not and be sent to the furnace. Eleizers dad did pass the second one though which brought back hope for eliezer. When the russians/red army was coming, Eliezer was only concerned about what he and his father were to do and depended on what his father was to say. Eleizers dad said that they'll only go if Eliezer thinks he'll be able to make the hike. This shows that eliezer dad cares immensely for eliezer and said that if eliezer couldn't make the hike then they won't go at all and take a risk with the russians, who would most likely kill them.]]> 2020-05-04 15:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/549698360 Lee Ann Whalen https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/549720963 Human beings are much more developed than animals because all of us follow different religions or different beliefs. All of us have different opinions, some may share the same opinion while others disagree. These religions/beliefs help guide our everyday decisions and the way that we live everyday. As stated in the story some of the Jewish community still believes that g*d is real and he’s still out there. Eliezer also states in the story that some Jewish people wanted to still fast or eat most of their rations for Yom Kippur and to show that they still believe in/praise g*d even when situations are bad. But with Eliezer’s opinion he doesn’t believe in g*d anymore. Due to their circumstances and everything they had been through he wonders why g*d would let all of this happen to them. This leads Eliezer to not fast but to conserve his rations as he tells us the readers that it’s his way of rebelling against g*d. This also shows that outside factors can influence decisions/beliefs as well. Some basic animal instincts that are appearing throughout the story are survival of the fittest and alliances. All of the prisoners inside of the concentration camp are fighting for survival. This doesn’t mean that they all are fighting each other but taking anything they can to survive. Like when Eliezer was in the infirmary for his foot. He would take extra pieces of bread to give to his father when he could to help him survive. Also alliances form inside of the concentration camps like Eliezer has with Tibi and Yossi. Not only that but Eliezer is scared of being alone and he tries to stay with his dad most of the time. These animal instincts can also appear in regular life situations as well.]]> 2020-05-04 15:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/549720963 Nick C. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/549862980 One of the strongest bonds if not the strongest bonds is with either family or faith. Family bonds can be the strongest bonds especially if they are what you depend upon for living with how they keep you going no matter what external or internal force may be put upon oneself. They can keep you from thinking that the external force is not worth fighting and to just giving into it. Eleizer shows this by if his father was to not pass the selection that he would have been very depressed and found life not truly worth living. Faith is another bond that is also strong within those who truly believe in that 🤬 will come and save them. In chapter 5, most if not all of the jews gathered to say a prayer since it was kaddish. They all prayed that 🤬 would save them and protect them from the suffering and that he would help them get through this. Although in chapter 5, eliezer believes in family being the strongest bond because he isn’t following through with fasting that they were supposed to. Eliezer even said that 🤬 isn’t helping anyone and is allowing this to happen to all of his followers, the suffering, the torture, the horrible conditions. Although i would say most bonds can be broken up, i would have to say that having a tight family bond would be the closest thing to being an unbreakable bond.

In the story, Eliezer and her father didn't know if they were going to make it out of the camps alive so they had to hope for the best outcome. It can be good because it gives you something to look or work towards, which keeps you motivated but it can also be bad because when you dont achieve your goal it can bring your confidence down. A thing that I hope for in my life is the strength to be able to play sports to a great degree. Chris C

Just like the Germans did to the Jewish. They made them feel lesser than even though we are all humans. Someone can display power over another with money, strength and even knowledge. This applies to the modern world because there are rich people and there are poor people and generally the rich people are seen to have more power than the poor people. Chris C

Religious faith can go with your personal faith but some people can pray others can just feel faith with the situation it kinda depends. Faith was used when Eliezer and his father thought they were gonna leave the camp in the beginning but lost faith now in the story seeing what goes on in the camps. Blind faith could be not knowing whats gonna happen but trying your best to believe what will.]]> 2020-05-05 15:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/552503678 Sara C https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/552565724 Many people can display power or think they do by their money and or how wealthy they are compare to you. In the story jews are put into camps and controlled by Germans because they think they are better than the jewish community. People can also think their religion is better than yours or they have more money or even just because their looks but we are all people. ]]> 2020-05-05 16:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/552565724 Gabby S. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/553450724 Humans (the Jews specifically) are generally more caring towards one another than concerned with self preservation. All of the Jews are going through relatively the same thing and they all look out for each other and are trying to get through the situation together. For example towards the beginning of Elie's days in the camp, a relative from Antwerp named Stein recognized Elie and his father and came up to them to reconnect and see how they are doing. During the next few times Stein visited he would give some of his bread ration to Elie so that he would be taken care of and not be weak. This shows how much he cared about Elie and his health because he too had to eat but sacrificed some of his food to give to Elie. Also in the story when a French girl in the forced labor unit with Elie, whispered some comforting words to elie because he was in need of them. He then found out that speaking German could of blown her cover because she is Jewish and didn't want to get caught but wanted to support Elie no matter what. She risked her life to help Elie and to comfort him. ]]> 2020-05-05 23:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/553450724 Gabby S. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/553468866 Hope is necessary for the survival of of the Jews because without it. they basically give up for surviving the Holocaust and accept their deaths. This is shown with Akiba Drumer in chapter 5, where where he lost all hope and then threw himself into selection to be killed since he felt as if he would never leave the camp. Hope is what is keeping the Jewish people alive in the cmps because they are hoping that they will be free sometime in the future. Hope can be misleading because to much of it can cause a huge let down. Stein from Antwerp became much more hopeful and optimistic when Elie told him that his wife and children were safe. This gave him hope that he could possibly see them one day however this is misleading because Elie lied about Steins family to keep him hopeful. If he knew the truth about his family it would probably crush him and he might have even killed himself. Hope can be misleading because instead of looking at the reality of their situation the Jews relied on their faith. Some things I hope for in life is to graduate highschool and college, I hope to have a family and be comfortable in my living situation. ]]> 2020-05-05 23:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/553468866 Nate M. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/553687815 When trying to survive, a person needs hope. A person who has hope is motivated to survive. If there is no hope then there is no motivation which means there is no surviving. 
There a moments where hope can seem hopeless because of bad outcomes. The theme hope is seen in "Night" by the Jews fighting to stay alive and overcome the camps while other Jewish people are dying. One day I hope to fix my favorite bmx bike so I can ride it again. ]]> 2020-05-06 03:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/553687815 Nate M. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/553698890 I think there is no limit to things that can be forgiven. It is a person's choice to forgive. If they don't forgive then that is their choice. I believe it is based off of people's boundaries and limitations. In my opinion, I would be able to forgive anyone's mistakes as long as they apologize. The theme of forgiveness is seen by Elie Wiesel trying to understand forgiveness and the power of evil.

Some advice given to them is to run as if the 🤬 is on your heels and don't look at the SS.  This is very important for these people to understand because if they don't follow the advice given they could die. Some past advice that have gotten was to hang out with the right crowd of people and my dad would tell me everyday not to mess up and do that and I failed and got stuck with some bad people but then got out of it eventually. I feel like my life would be different becase it would change the type of person that I am today.]]> 2020-05-06 15:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/555069966 Andrew M. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/555131704 People display power over others because they could have the money or the family they were brought up in have power. In chapter 5  it says "Adolf has made it clear that he will annihilate all Jews before the clock strikes twelve."(Pg:80) This shows the power that he has.This is connected to the modern world with a leader like Kim jong un. This is how it relates to the story and to the real world.

In this case with the Nazi uprising, the Jewish community and most countries around the world could not prevent the Nazi´s from displaying power over them. Power is shown over people when one feels good about themselves for displaying that they are better than others. Adolf 🤬 was a great example of this. An example of this in the modern world could be censorship in countries like Russia and North Korea. The people know that if they publish a negative post about their leader they have the possibility of facing punishments. ]]> 2020-05-07 18:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558213480 Robbie S https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558228593 In the story so far the Jewish community is more caring to one another then self preservation. They all can relate to the brutal things that are being done to them, and know that truly there's nothing they can do to prevent death and it is all in the hands of the Germans to decide. They communicate with each other to share feelings, and get whatever they want off their chest. As you can see in the story some share soup with the people that are more hungry then other´s. They work together to overcome the problems they are facing.]]> 2020-05-07 18:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558228593 Alex Turley https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558316529 Hope is a very important thing in life, and it could even be called a nessessity expecialy in extreme cases such as the one Elie is in. Hope is a driving force that motivates you and without you are left sad, depressed, and lacking encouragement. In the story "Night" in chapter five, Elie explains that a man called Akimba Drummer who was certain that he was going to get picked during the selection and was sure he would end up dieing.He had no hope so he put no effort in trying to look fit and survive so he ended up getting selected and killed. Hope can be very powerful and was what drove Elie to try to pass the selection. However, hope can be very misleading because when one does not acheive what they are hoping about they are left let down. In "Night" many of the other people at the camps including Elie hope that the Russian army will arive at the camps and set them free, but instead they are moved right before the army arrives. Their hope of finally being set free was crushed which could leave many of the people disappointed such as Elie and make them feel like they are trapped in a never ending loop which makes it hard to stay motivated. Some of my biggest hopes in my life and future is to go to college, get married, and have kids.]]> 2020-05-07 19:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558316529 Sam G. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558324255 Faith is something that a human being receives in life. Yes there is a large difference in religious faith and personal faith.  Religious faith is when you rely on one or a few specific beings to take care of you. Personal faith is when the person relies on them and only them.  Having blind faith means that you have faith in something or someone with out context behind it. A person can lose faith in something or someone through betrayal, for example in Night our narrator loses faith in his god due to the fact that their god has let hundreds of Jews die and did not stop anyone from killing them. ]]> 2020-05-07 19:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558324255 Sam G. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558338847 People display their power over others for many reasons.  One could be that they don't like those people so they start to take things away from them so they become vulnerable and an easy target to rid of.  Another can be just using words to show their status among others.  This is apparent in the modern world with countries today showing their power to scare other smaller not as powerful countries. ]]> 2020-05-07 19:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558338847 Alex Turley https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558369066 Faith is a very special beleif and trust in someone or something. There is a very large difference between religous and personal faith and both forms are shown throughout the story. Religous faith is the trust in an above being or god to lookout for you. This type of faith is seen by Elie in "Night" at the camps, he always sees people that still pray and ask god to help them through the rough times they are going through at the camps. On the other hand personal faith is trust in yourself to get you through things which is shown by Elie in the story because as he gets to the camps he starts to rely less on god and more on himself and his desicions. Blind faith is when you compleatly trust someone or something without really knowing them. Blind faith can relate to when Elie and his father first arrived at the camp and some other jewish person there told them what ages to say they were to the officers, they trusted this person and did so which led to them being put together in the same group. Something that could make someone like me lose faith is if you are used or betrayed, such as trusting someone and doing something bet you reciev no benefit from doing that thing only harm.]]> 2020-05-07 19:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558369066 Logan R https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558953514 Hope is necessary for human survival, because if you don't have hope than you will just want to give up and stop trying. Eliezer starts to loose hope when he puts himslef into the slection on who will be killed because he felt he was never going to leave the camp.. Hope can be motivating when you hope a bad time will be over so you try your best to survive. Hope is missleading when you hope something good is going to happen, but you end up getting something bad. In life I hope for a healthy family, a good job, and loving friends. ]]> 2020-05-08 03:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558953514 Logan R https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558966511 The strongest and most unbreakable bonds that people can have is with their family. I feel this way because when you have a healthy family you all have a special bond that you cant find with anyone else. The bond that I have with my parents is unbreakable because I love them and we treat each other with love. Strong bonds are shown in night between Eliezer and his father. This is because they get seperated from the mom and daughter so they only have each other which makes their bond stronger because they don't want to lose each other.]]> 2020-05-08 03:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/558966511 Courtney C. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/559085984 People display power over another set of people to try and show their control over them or trying to seem superior compared to another race. In the book the german SS men and 🤬 display power over the Jewish people and are making them feel inferior. This may occur due to one set of people feeling guilty and putting their blame onto someone else to not feel as guilty. An example of someone having power over a set of people is a group of seniors seem to have more influence or control a group of freshman. ]]> 2020-05-08 06:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/559085984 ethan schauer https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/559105139 People display power over others so it makes them seem stronger by bringing others down. This is seen when the Germans are physically and verbally abusive to the jewish people because of their beliefs. They make the jewish people seem like they are lesser than the germans. One can display power over another by making fun of them. This is apparent in the real world through school bullies. Bullies  make fun of people so that their self esteem goes up because they feel like they are above the bullies victims.

An example of this in the book in eliezer and his father are extremely close bonded because they have been through the good and bad times. The good times are fun but the bad times bring each other closer. I don think a bond is unbreakable because you never know what one person might do. Im sure if you and your best friend have been friends for over 50 years, bu then your best friend kills one of your family members then you will most likely drop them from your life.]]> 2020-05-08 06:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/559109279 Courtney C. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/559127001 Throughout the book so far there are examples of both. The Jewish people are more caring towards each other such as giving each other some bread or soup, as well as Eliezer constantly worrying about their father. An example of one being concerned with themselves is when the Jewish people are being moved to different locations or are in certain situations, they worry about how they will either get out of the situation or make sure they live through the situation. ]]> 2020-05-08 06:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/559127001 Ryan L https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/559883937 People display power over others to make themselves feel like they are the best. They try and show their power because it makes them feel like they are in charge. People can display power with money their skills. In the story the Germans are dehumanizing the Jewish people. They are dehumanizing them by writing a specific number on their arms like they are farm animals. This is apparent in the modern world with Kim Jung-un. He is the leader of North Korea and he likes to show his power by saying that he has all types of superpowers just so that people will worship him as their god.]]> 2020-05-08 14:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/559883937 Ryan L https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/559934237 Some advice that I received that I wished I listened to is to have time management with your school work. Most times I hand in my school work and hour before its due. I chose not to listen to this advice because I have always done my work before its due. If I had listened to this advice I would have more free time on my hands instead of doing things last minute and having to worry about them. This relates to the story because it says ,"And most important, don't be afraid!"(Page 71). Eliezer didn't listen to this advice so most of the chapter she was very scared that the she was going to be selected.]]> 2020-05-08 14:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/559934237 Ishan A. https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560037851 Faith is simply someone's belief in a divine being. There is a difference in religious belief and personal belief because personal belief is really dependent upon the degree to which a specific person has faith towards their divine being. In the text Eliezer starts to question "god's" judgement and power. At the same time there are people who have almost completely lost faith in "god" and others who believe that this is trial to test their belief. To have blind faith is to ignore all ideologies which go against the faith which you are supporting and continuous supporting for your faith no matter the reasons, such as the people in the text who believe this genocide is a trial. What would cause me to lose faith is really when nothing positive would occur, only negative things happening in my life with no escape.]]> 2020-05-08 15:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560037851 jillian s https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560300152 depending on the person religious faith and personal faith could mean the same thing. blind faith means having total believe in someone or something and doing anything you have to do for what you believe in. you can lose faith by having discouragement and Eli is having discouragement because he is stuck in a concentration camp. ]]> 2020-05-08 16:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560300152 jillian s https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560311323 i think it depends on who it is because some people will put themselves first and others will put themselves last and help their friends before themselves. ]]> 2020-05-08 17:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560311323 Alyssa W https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560312371 Children take the role of caring for their parents or guardian when they are sick or injured and can't care for themselves. Kids spend a good amount of their lives being taken care of and at some point they should return the favor to whoever took care of them when they were younger. Eliezer takes this role by showing that he cares for his fathers health and is constantly thinking about him when they are not together because Eliezer does not want to end up being alone in the camp. Eliezer and his father both share the role of caring for each other and making sure they are both ok. ]]> 2020-05-08 17:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560312371 Alyssa W https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560321597 Hope is definitely necessary for human survival because if you don't have hope then is there really a point in continuing life if you're not hopeful for anything. Hope is motivating because it makes you work towards something and makes you push through challenges and put effort into things. Hope can be misleading because you can have hope for something that will not end up happening and then it usually ends up being a huge let down which can make you question if hope is real or not. Eliezer and her father hold onto the hope that they will make it out of the camp alive no matter what challenges are thrown at them they remain hopeful and positive because being positive and hopeful makes it easier to keep pushing through. Something that I hope for in life is just for when I get older I am able to live a happy and healthy life. ]]> 2020-05-08 17:07:31 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560321597 Anthony G https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560448184 People display power over other people because they want to either make themselves feel better about themselves or make other people feel worse about themselves. The Germans made the Jewish people feel worse about themselves by displaying power over them. It made them feel defeated. Someone can display power over someone else through money. If someone has more money than someone else than they believe they have the misbelief that they are better then that person. This is apparent in the modern world where if someone has more money than their opinion is right which that is just not the case.]]> 2020-05-08 18:06:32 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560448184 Ishan A https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560454319 What makes humans a more developed species than others is our immensely powerful thought process. This thought process allows us to form mutualistic relationships and therefore developed at a far greater pace than other species. Our thought process also allows us to apply the materials which are around us and turn them into weapons, food or comforts. It really takes a of thought as to how to be successful in a war and running a concentration camp takes a lot of thought as to how to keep the prisoners from rebelling and to get the Jews to the concentration camps without making them suspect a thing. It allows takes a lot of thought for the Jews as to how to survive, using tricks to not be selected in the selection process, for instance appearing stronger. The basic human instinct which appears in humans is foremost the instinct of survival, especially when we feel we are in imminent danger. The Jews especially had this instinct whilst trying to live through the countless days in the concentration camps.]]> 2020-05-08 18:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560454319 Anthony G https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560464284 Faith is a strong belief in something. Religious belief and personal belief are two different things because religious belief is what your religion says you should believe in but personal belief is what you actually believe in. What it means to have blind faith is when you have faith in something no matter what. It is really hard for the jewish people to believe in a God when they are in these concentration camps and they feel defeated. Something that would cause me to lose faith would be if someone proved me wrong and showed me evidence of how my faith is wrong. But other than that I probably wouldn't lose faith in something I strongly believe in. ]]> 2020-05-08 18:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/dp2px3ly2himdu7h/wish/560464284
