defeat causes a loss of emotion. Quote: "I looked up at my fathers face, trying to glimpse a smile or something like it on his stricken face. but there was nothing. Not the shadow of an expression. Defeat"(Wiesel 69) blue book. 

It seems that the feeling of defeat is causing Elies father to loose hope for their future. He has no emotion.

It was already time to part , to go to bed. The bell regulated everything" (Wiesel 72) blue book. Adds to the subject of dehumanization as the bell forces them into a structure they can not fight against. The bell also inevitably brings the Jews back to their harsh realities.]]> 2020-10-15 19:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833798366 https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833799483 "What are You, my God? I thought angrily. How do You compare to this stricken mass gathered to affirm to You their faith, their anger, their defiance?" (Wiesel 66) (blue book). Everyday, Elie loses more and more faith in God. He starts to be angry and hate Him. Elie loses hope and faith because God does nothing but let them suffer. This is an occurring theme.]]> 2020-10-15 19:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833799483 https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833801838 "The bell regulated everything. It gave me orders and I executed them blindly" (Wiesel 73) (blue book). The bell can symbolize the power that the Nazis' have over the Jews. The Nazis' can just ring a bell and the Jews will do whatever they tell them too. This symbol can relate to the idea of dehumanization in the book. By ringing the bell and giving orders to the Jews, the Nazis' are treating them kind of like dogs. ]]> 2020-10-15 19:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833801838 https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833804409 “Here take this knife”, he said. “I won’t need it anymore. You may find it useful. Also take this spoon. Don’t sell it. Quickly! Go ahead, take what I'm giving you” My inheritance…” (Wiesel 75).]]> 2020-10-15 19:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833804409 https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833805580 In the beginning when holidays were mentioned. The reader can address that religion symbolizes faith, it is the only thing the Germans cannot take away. Therefore, the Jews idolize it and enjoy it.]]> 2020-10-15 19:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833805580 https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833808635 “‘Blessed be God’s name…’ Why, but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled… Praised be Thy Holy Name, for having chosen us to be slaughtered on Thine altar” (Wiesel, 67) blue book

In this quote we can see Wiesel questioning his faith and the way he views religion. While he hasn't lost faith entirely, he understands it in a different way.]]> 2020-10-15 19:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833808635 https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833809698 "And I, the former mystic, was thinking: Yes, man is stronger,
greater than God" (Wiesel 67)
This quote is an example of the that the worst situations can shake even the most faithful. Eli loses more an more faith but this moment seems like the greatest renunciation so far.]]> 2020-10-15 19:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833809698 https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833810449 "But look at these men whom You have betrayed, allowing them to be tortured, slaughtered, gassed, and burned, what do they do? They pray before You! They praise Your name"(Wiesel 68) Blue book. As shown throughout the book, the continuation of his suffering is the continuation of his loss of faith. It shows how he believes that God's indifference is a sign that God is not there, and if he were real, He would not allow this suffrage for people who are so devoted to Him.]]> 2020-10-15 19:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833810449 https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833810833 Kidest Mebratu

I was no longer able to lament"(Wiesel 68 bluebook). Elie is expressing that he is having trouble in beleiving that god can still help him. At the beginning of the novel Elie believed " salvationof the world depended on every one of my deeds, on every one of my prayers" (Wiesel 68 blue book).

When the rabbi admits that even his faith is diminishing, it has a big impact because we see that even the very religious people were questioning their religion.]]> 2020-10-15 19:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833820596 https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833820869 "His eyes would suddenly go blank, leaving twi gaping wounds, two wells of terror"(Wiesel 76)
The eyes as always show the true unfiltered emotions of the individuals described by Elie. His father was broken and it showed through and through.]]> 2020-10-15 19:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833820869 MikaylaGoldsmith https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833824397 2020-10-15 19:51:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/ksb6wxd1s6s9fzmy/wish/833824397
