He must not err and wish to enter the orchard through a gate other than his own. That would present a danger not only for the one entering but also for those who are already inside"(5) To me, this is symbolic that how the steadfast of Jewish people were to their faith. Often people ask why didn't they just lie about who they were, when there is danger in trying to be someone that you are not whycxether that is lying about your religion or whatever just ignoring your true identity in whatever form. Being your own person is the most important piece of any ones identity ]]> 2021-12-05 18:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1929807197 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1929841409 She hallucinated a fire after being separated from her family.  She kept seeing this image in her head and yelling at all the people in the train car.  This is foreshadowing the crematoriums at Auschwitz    ]]> 2021-12-05 19:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1929841409 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1929841934 2021-12-05 19:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1929841934 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1929842849 "There was some food left. But we never ate enough to satisfy our hunger. Our principle was to economize, save for tomorrow. Tomorrow could be worse yet"(23) To me, this is important because the people didn't know what to expect. It was all unknown. ]]> 2021-12-05 19:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1929842849 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1934900481 "Hey, kid, how old are you?" The man interrogating me was an inmate. I could not see his face, but his voice was weary and warm. "Fifteen." "No. You're eighteen." "But I'm not," I said. "I'm fifteen." "Fool. Listen to what I say." Then he asked my father, who answered: "I'm fifty." "No." The man now sounded angry. "Not fifty. You're forty. Do you hear? Eighteen and forty."(30)  The man talking to them very well was a large contributor to his survival.  Lying about his age was important during the selection because if he told the doctor he was 15 he very well could have been a part of the doctor's experiments. This helped his dad survive too because he made it seem like he was a younger adult. If he would them he was 50 they would have most likely sent him to gas chamber with his other and sister.]]> 2021-12-08 02:00:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1934900481 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1934914916 The selection in Auschwitz determined life or death for prisoners. As soon as prisoners were unloaded from the trains they were put into lines by the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele who decided whether you were fit enough to work or not. Some children would be taken aside to be experimented on with injections of chemicals.]]> 2021-12-08 02:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1934914916 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1934921289 One way the Nazi party kept power was by turning people on themselves. They would turn prisoners into guards that would dehumanize people by striping them of their clothes, shaving them bald, making them run until they collapse and beating them. If they didn't comply they could be killed so guards made from officers had to decide to hurt their own people or get killed themselves.]]> 2021-12-08 02:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1934921289 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1938351087 "I did not fast. First of all, to please my father who had forbidden me to do so. And then, there was no longer any reason for me to fast. 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"(69). In other words, even though Elie's dad had told him not to fast he decided to go against his religious personality and rebel against Jewish tradition. During the holiday Yom Kippur followers of Judaism fast in honor of God. However, Elie did not feel God was there for him or his people so in protest he did not fast and had no regret. This sticks out to me because he was told to not lose hope but if he is losing faith is he losing hope as well to survive or is he hardening up and doing anything he can to survive]]> 2021-12-09 14:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1938351087 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1938366416 After Elie ran to the doctor he states "Those whose numbers had been noted were standing apart, abandoned by the whole world. Some were silently weeping"(72) This really sticks out to me because these people were helpless in the concentration camp and had probably done anything they could to survive and they now sat there knowing death was awaiting them at the gas chambers. These people had been taken to the camps against their will just for being Jewish.]]> 2021-12-09 14:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1938366416 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1938371438 The bell. It was already time to part, to go to bed. The bell
regulated everything. It gave me orders and I executed them blindly. I hated that bell. Whenever I happened to dream of a better world, I imagined a universe without a bell(73).  I am surprised that everything is controlled by a bell.  The prisoners learned to do everything when the bell is rung. They are completely controlled by the nazis and if they disobey they will be killed. ]]> 2021-12-09 14:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1938371438 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1941403759 When Idek beat his father, Elie wasn't mad at the Kapo but he was upset at his dad for not avoiding him. This is important because rather than people rebelling against the guards, they just accepted death and brutality. ]]> 2021-12-11 04:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1941403759 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1941407517 When the foreman, Franek wanted Elie's gold crown he refused to give it to him. The foreman found Elie's weak spot, his father. Franek begins to torment his father during the marches. Elie finally gave in, his tooth is taken from him. This sticks out to me because the guards could do anything they wanted to the prisoners in the camp. I can't imagine having my tooth taken from me just for someone else to benefit slightly from selling it. ]]> 2021-12-11 04:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1941407517 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1944730091 Throughout this chapter, Elie and his father decide to stay together and help each other. These decisions most likely saved both of their lives. Elie would have lost his hope without his father staying with him. His father would have been killed in the selection if Elie would not have gone to left with him and they were able to sneak back over together.]]> 2021-12-13 15:01:07 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1944730091 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1948021259 During the transport to another camp, they stopped the train for a selection where they threw all the dead bodies off and into the snow. Elie states "Father! Father! Wake up. They're going to throw you out-
side... " His body remained inert.
The two "gravediggers" had grabbed me by the neck: "Leave him alone. Can't you see that he's dead?" "No!" I yelled. "He's not dead! Not yet!" And I started to hit him harder and harder. At last, my father half-opened his eyes. They were glassy. He was breathing faintly. "You see," I cried.
The two men went away." This sticks out to me because if Elie would have just left him be he would have been thrown off the train into the snow. This shows Elie's persistence kept his dad alive longer than if he would have just sat there and accepted his death. ]]> 2021-12-14 20:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1948021259 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1948476487 While on the transport trains German citizens  "had undoubtedly never seen a train with this kind of cargo. Soon, pieces of bread were falling into the wagons from all sides. And the spectators observed these emaciated creatures ready to kill for a crust of bread" I am surprised that people enjoyed treating humans like animals and watching them kill each other like vicious dogs.]]> 2021-12-15 02:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1948476487 gage_cable https://padlet.com/gage_cable/gf4bobux3y95upt5/wish/1948492283 "My father is sick, I answered in his p l a c e ...
