We see a change in his behavior as he is taken away from his mother and he and his father are getting ready to go to Auschwitz. He had just stood there when his "father had just been struck, in front of [him], and [he] had not even blinked. Only yesterday, [he] would have dug [his] nails in [that] criminal's flesh"(Page 39). His behavior had changed due to possible fear and horrors that he had witnessed.]]> 2021-02-01 02:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146736411 rohan_dhuwaraha_592 https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146746201 Elie's character has become more aware of the situation, but as others look to God, he doesn't. He hates God for not helping them, for staying silent through their time of suffering, and for ignoring their prayers, despite being faithful and religious.]]> 2021-02-01 02:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146746201 rohan_dhuwaraha_592 https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146751941 By now, Elie has been malnourished, with little to no food or water. Though not explicitly stated, one can infer that he has become frailer and weaker, and he would remain in this figure until the camp would be liberated.]]> 2021-02-01 02:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146751941 rohan_dhuwaraha_592 https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146763685 Elie's character has become more independent, yet he changed in a way that he slightly started to care for others again. He is more confident and can stand on his own without his father's help now. He talks about how he no longer thinks well of God, and instead is angry towards God. He wonders why must God do this to them, and why should we pray to him if he causes all of this, and many more questions which show that he has given up his faith. He also had grown close to the inmates, since those were the people that he saw everyday. He had developed some sort of relationship with them that was friendly and they bonded a lot more.]]> 2021-02-01 02:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146763685 rohan_dhuwaraha_592 https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146766174 Towards the middle of January, Elie had an infection on his foot, forcing him to go to the infirmary, where he was operated on. While in recovery, the was an evacuation of the camp, and there was the question of whether those in the infirmary would be left behind. Elie had only one goal and one goal alone; to make sure that he was not separated from his father. This forced him to run from the camp with the rest of the prisoners, consequently opening the wound on his foot, making him bleed.]]> 2021-02-01 02:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146766174 rohan_dhuwaraha_592 https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146795564 Elie's mentality has changed significantly, as before, he cared about things and liked to have fun, while now all he cares about is survival. What matters to him is surviving and making it through. Not only that, he also, consequently, has become emotionless, numb to most things. He used to be passionate and loving, but by living through so many camps, he has been deprived of a childhood and lots of emotions that humans need.]]> 2021-02-01 03:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146795564 rohan_dhuwaraha_592 https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146816248 At the end of the book, they have been liberated, and due to the seemingly immense amount of food to the prisoners, we can assume that Elie would be in better health. Though, he talks about how he had "spent two weeks between life and death"(Page 115). It shows how bad of health he was in, and what his condition was like to affect him so badly. But his recovery would have made a successful comeback and we can assume that he would become more nourished and healthy.]]> 2021-02-01 03:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rohan_dhuwaraha_592/edjkuslfw3ifx1y6/wish/1146816248
