When the sirens sound, the guards take cover, leaving the fences and food unwatched, and Wiesel writes, “Fear was greater than hunger” (p. 59).  Finally, one man does attempt to get food, but he is shot in the process. Weisel calls the man who was shot a hero. Do you agree or disagree with this statement, and why?

During an execution, Juliek whispers to Eliezer, “This ceremony, will it be over soon? I’m hungry…” (p.62).  What is most important to the prisoners? What does this statement suggest about the prisoners’ outlook on life and death?

A young boy is executed when a raid reveals a stash of weapons in his quarters. At the execution, both prisoners and guards are clearly troubled by the victim’s young age. After the hanging, a man asks, “For God’s sake, where is God?” Eliezer responds, “Where is he? This is where - hanging here from this gallows” (p. 65). Explain what he means.

Why is there a difference in the taste of the soup for him after these two deaths? ]]> 2020-04-01 01:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aschorr2/l5dinh5tvfks/wish/485642715
