I began to think of myself again. My foot was aching, I shivered with every step.

The motif of struggle represents  will to keep on living even in the harsh conditions Elie is in. "All I can say that I prevailed. I succeeded in digging a hole in that wall of dead and dying people, a small hole through which I could drink a little air." (Wiesel 94). 
Another motif represented in Chapter six, is the symbol of sleep equals death. As the quote states, "Death, which was settling in all around me, slienty, gently. It would seize upon a sleeping person, steal into him and devour him bit by bit." (Wiesel 89). ]]> 2020-10-19 17:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842201836 arianarodriguez12 https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842203231 Juliek and his violin symbolize the prisoners and their faith. Elie thought it was kind of strange that Juliek was asking for his violin during the situation they were in. Through all his fear he was able to keep calm through his violin. Even after he passed away, he had his violin as a sense of peace. Even in death he keeps his faith and will never let go of it.
Supporting quote: "Next to him lay his violin, trampled, an eerily poignant little corpse" (Wiesel 95).]]> 2020-10-19 17:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842203231 kendallbattiste https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842203682 "It's dangerous to fall asleep in snow.  One falls asleep forever." (Wiesel 88)  Blue Book
In Chapter 6, the snow represents giving up because it says "...in snow. One falls asleep forever" meaning they will freeze in the snow and die. By not falling asleep Elie and father aren't giving up. ]]> 2020-10-19 17:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842203682 lexiejaramillo https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842205059 Corpses/Death were motifs that showed up a lot in chapter 6 and I feel as though it represents the change in who they were before all of this and who they are now, and how they are all losing themselves both physically and mentally from the abuse that they are facing. "Death, which was settling in all around me, silently, gently. It would seize upon a sleeping person, steal into him and devour him bit by bit. Next to me, someone was trying to awaken his neighbor, his brother, perhaps, or his comrade. In vain. Defeated, he lay down too, next to the corpse, and also fell asleep"(Wiesel89-90). 
The Violin also was a symbol presented in chapter 6 of Night and I believe it represents the Jews and their lives and how they have so many things to do and how they won't be able to live a fulfilling life. "He was playing his life. His whole being was gliding over the strings. His unfulfilled hopes. His charred past, his extinguished future. He played that which he would never play again"(Wiesel95).]]> 2020-10-19 17:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842205059 cassandraaulisio https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842205138 Wiesel describes, "I was putting one foot in front of the other, like a machine" (Wiesel 85). This quote represents a reoccurring theme of dehumanization. However, when Wiesel wrote about dehumanization before he more described the Jews as cattle. Now Wiesel is describing them as machines. The Jews no longer even have a mind of their own like cattle, they are simply machines with no independent thoughts or feelings. ]]> 2020-10-19 17:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842205138 lucasangeloaranda https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842206415 Symbols:
Dogs: The loss of self.
"If one of us stopped for a second, a quick shot eliminated the filthy dog"(Wiesel 85)
Motifs:
Death
"Among the stiffened corpses, there were logs of wood. Not a sound of distress, not a plaintive cry, nothing but agony and silence. Nobody asked anyone for help. One died because one had to. No point in making trouble"(Wiesel 89).
Themes:
Death, death was not saw as a punishment it was saw more as a way to escape from the cruelty.

He eventually succeeded, and clawed his way to the surface in the mass of bodies.
"I tried to rid myself of my invisible assassin. My whole desire
to live became concentrated in my nails. I scratched, I fought for
a breath of air" (Wiesel 94).]]> 2020-10-19 17:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842207073 alejandrogutierrezte https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842207561 Symbol: The violin was a symbol representing a sign of comfort and some type of faith. 
Quote: “He was playing a fragment of a Beethoven concerto. Never before I had heard such a beautiful sound. In such silence.” (Wiesel 95)]]> 2020-10-19 17:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842207561 mallorymcmullan https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842208081 the fear of separation comes up several times in chapter 6. Elie is terrified of being separated from his father, especially after seeing what happened to Rabbi Eliahu. "'Oh God, Master of the Universe, give me strength never to do what Rabbi Eliahu's son has done.'" (Wiesel 91). ]]> 2020-10-19 17:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842208081 evangeliagarza https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842213438 "Beneath our feet there lay men, crushed, trampled, underfoot, dying," (Wiesel 89). Elie uses feet to symbolize the collective pain of the prisoners, and his personal pain in having to leave people behind. His foot physically hurts, but it is also used to show the hurt of being indifferent and stepping over others. ]]> 2020-10-19 17:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842213438 alekzandervaux https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842215152 The violin also represents defiance or resistance against the Nazis. It symbolizes a sense of comfort in dire times. ]]> 2020-10-19 17:59:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842215152 ryanjoo https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842219293 The violin was a symbol that was shown in Chapter 6. The violin represents an ease of mind while the Jews are in such a horrible state. Juliek, the owner of the violin played classical music to keep the Jews distracted from the chaos that was emerging in the camps. The violin also breaks the silence of the camps and brings entertainment.]]> 2020-10-19 18:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842219293 avaneubauer https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842225018 In chapter 6 the violin is a symbol of the faith of the Jews. After being haunted by silence in the camp for weeks, the silence is finally broken by the sound of the the violin, which brings peace and clarity to the prisoners . ]]> 2020-10-19 18:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842225018 mallorymcmullan https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842229268 Dehumanization is largely present in this chapter. The SS calls the prisoners dogs as they run, "'Faster you filthy dogs'" (Wiesel 85). Elie also describes the bodies of the prisoners, including himself, as machines. "We were no longer marching, we were running. Like automatons." (Wiesel 85). "I was putting one foot in front of the other, like a machine" (Wiesel 85). The prisoners are no longer fully human in the eyes of both the SS and their fellow prisoners.]]> 2020-10-19 18:02:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842229268 taizanoku https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842233999 "But deep inside, I knew that to sleep meant to die"(Wiesel 89) Blue Book. 
Sleeping serves as a way of giving up or giving in to the exhaustion of the march. When the prisoners stop in the village many of those who fall asleep end up dying. 
"For three years, they had stayed close to one another. And now-when the end seemed near-fate had separated them"(Wiesel 91) Blue Book.
The relationship between the rabbi and his son is similar to that of Wiesel's own relationship with his father. The separation of the rabbi from his son foreshadows the separation Elie will experience with his own father. ]]> 2020-10-19 18:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/nr2d5ejypa43dw6x/wish/842233999
