He ordered four prisoners to wash the wooden floor....An hour before leaving the camp! Why? For whom?" 147003836 https://padlet.com/147003836/goyd7vdpmi42/wish/259416263 Questioning: Why did they clean the block? There was no point since they weren't coming back? Or are they going some other camp to stay put and return? ]]> 2018-05-09 18:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/147003836/goyd7vdpmi42/wish/259416263 Quote: "It scarcely mattered now that the work was hard. The essential thing was to be far away as possible from the block, from the crucible of death, from the center of hell." 147003836 https://padlet.com/147003836/goyd7vdpmi42/wish/260046262 Interpret: Elie explains that since the work is rough, it feels like it wasn't real life.

You just hope that one day you'll be able to see them again. Especially with family, because family always ha each others back. No one wants to lose anyone they desire. ]]> 2018-05-11 18:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/147003836/goyd7vdpmi42/wish/260052551 Quote: "I was putting one foot in front of the other mechanically. I was dragging with me this skeletal body which weighed so much. If only I could get rid of it! In spite of my efforts not to think about it, I could feel myself as two entities-my body and me. I hated it" 147003836 https://padlet.com/147003836/goyd7vdpmi42/wish/261693472 Questioning: Where were they running to? Why were they running anyways?

If so, were they trying to avoid it?]]> 2018-05-17 17:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/147003836/goyd7vdpmi42/wish/261693472 Quote: "We were outside. The icy wind stung my face. I bit my lips continually to prevent them from freezing. Around me everything was dancing a dance of death. It made my head reel. I was walking in a cemetery, among stiffened corpses logs of wood." 147003836 https://padlet.com/147003836/goyd7vdpmi42/wish/261697094 Interpret: Elie is saying that when he was in the broken town, everything was dead, meaning no longer existing.

And, the dead bodies on the ground, were logs of wood because they were frozen. ]]> 2018-05-17 18:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/147003836/goyd7vdpmi42/wish/261697094 Quote: "These thoughts had taken up a brief space of time, during which I had gone running without feeling my throbbing foot, without realizing that I was running, without being conscious that I owned a body galloping there on the road in the midst of so many thousands of others." 147003836 https://padlet.com/147003836/goyd7vdpmi42/wish/261699632 Connection: I can connect to this personally. Doing so much work could be tiring, and you could start to feel pain.

This look in his eyes, as they stared into mine, has never left me.' 147003836 https://padlet.com/147003836/goyd7vdpmi42/wish/263456285 Interpret: As he looks into the mirror, he sees a pair of eyes, that are his. He looks into the mirror at himself. He wasn't dreaming, everything that he has gone through was real. He lost ]]> 2018-05-24 18:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/147003836/goyd7vdpmi42/wish/263456285 "I knew that he must not drink. But he pleaded with me for so long that I gave in. Water was the worst poison he could have, but what else could I do for him?" 147003836 https://padlet.com/147003836/goyd7vdpmi42/wish/264607771 Questioning: Why did Elie not want to give his father water in the first place?
