Especially in this chapter, we see Eliezer struggling with his religious faith. He no longer has faith or wants to serve his g//o//d, as he had left the Jewish people to suffer in camps. However, Eliezer still has a little bit of faith left in general for survival. -BS]]> 2020-05-04 13:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/549332541 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/549352137 Eliezer has a very strong bond with his father. They had went through so much suffering together in the story, which had made their bond so much stronger, seemingly unbreakable at this point. -BS]]> 2020-05-04 13:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/549352137 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/550764576 JS- Although having hope in something can be motivating, I do not think it is necessary for human survival. Hope can be motivating because you can hope to have something in life, or hope to do something and it can be used to make you get to your goal and want to push further. In life, I hope to be successful, have a family and have a good job. ]]> 2020-05-04 23:29:19 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/550764576 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/550770064 JS- Human beings are more developed than animals because we can do things that they cannot. Animals are not as adapted as we are, being that we have more characteristics and abilities to do things. When people go camping outside, there are "animal instincts" that come along with camping such as sleeping in the wild, finding food/making it, and even bathing yourself. ]]> 2020-05-04 23:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/550770064 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/550868521 Faith can mean a lot of things to everyone. It can be personal or religious but it can also be the same thing to people. Blind faith means that you have complete faith in someone or something without any reason. Discourage in the reason for your faith causes you to lose it. Eli lost his faith as his time in the concentration camps got longer so he got discouraged. -Jane N]]> 2020-05-05 01:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/550868521 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/550888332 I believe that humans are more self preserving and that doesn't mean that all humans don't help one another it just means in dire situations most humans will preserve themselves.]]> 2020-05-05 01:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/550888332 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/551020364 Hope is necessary for human survival. It provides motivation because it shows an outcome to an event. It gives a desire and a reason to do something. Hope can be misleading because sometimes even if you have hope, things don't work out. Eli hoped to get out of the concentration camp but he is still in it. He also hope that him and his father were not selected and they both ended up safe and alive. Most people hope for a good and successful life. -Jane N]]> 2020-05-05 03:58:54 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/551020364 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/552287595 Hope is something that many people held on to during the story. All of the people in the concentration camps had to hope everyday that things will get better. Some of them started to lose their hope because things were not getting better but it was still there. Hope was all they had to motivate them. For example Eliezer started to lose hope in the concentration camps.]]> 2020-05-05 14:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/552287595 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/552335047 In the story Eliezer has a very strong bond with his father throughout the story. They helped each other as much as they could and stuck together through everything. They only had each other and their relationship became even stronger. They did not want to lose each other. They did everything they could to keep eachother safe.]]> 2020-05-05 14:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/552335047 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/552614965 In the story, Eliezer and his father have a very strong bond. Once they were put in concentration camps their bond got even stronger, because all they had were each other once they were separated from his mom and sisters. Once they were seperated all they had were each other and they couldn't lose each other. People can have unbreakable bonds, because they are so close that if one of them upsets the other than the other person should just be able to forgive them.]]> 2020-05-05 16:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/552614965 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/552643878 Hope is necessary in survival, because if you lose hope than it is just going to make your time worse where you are and your just going to end up giving up. Hope can be motivating in the way that if you have hope then you believe that the bad times will be over soon and you will keep fighting for survival. Hope can be misleading, because if you hope for something and keep fighting and something bad happens than all you motivation goes downhill and it won't be good. I hope that I can get a good job and have a healthy family. When Eliezer was in the concentration camps for awhile he started to lose hope.]]> 2020-05-05 16:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/552643878 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/555224101 HP- Hope is necessary because it can help people survive and get through their hard times. They can hope good things will come and it will make them more motivated to survive. Hope can also be misleading because it can give someone false hope. They can believe something good will happen, but in the end that good thing does not happen or something worse happens. Elizer hopes he and his father will get out of this alive, but there is a chance they will not. ]]> 2020-05-06 16:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/555224101 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/555241330 HP- Eliezer has a very strong bond with his father in the story. Being put in the concentration camps made their bond grow stronger. Their bond is what is helping them survive this terrible situation. They are helping each other as much as they can so they can both survive. Since they have been through so much together, their bond may now be unbreakable. They are going to be there for eachother as long as they can. ]]> 2020-05-06 16:15:41 UTC https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/555241330 https://padlet.com/perkiomenvalleyschooldistrict/nx4p2bs1sclt6rwn/wish/556220116 There are things that people do that are past forgiveness.

It is not very common for a family bond to be broken but it does happen. One example of a family bond breaking is divorce. People make mistakes and sometimes there is nothing you can do about it. The closest thing to a unbreakable bond would be a parent child relationship. Parents and Children may make mistakes, but these mistakes should be learned from and forgiven.

Most humans do not have to worry about food, shelter, and clothing in today's world so people are more caring. In certain situations, I believe that humans would be more worried about self preservation. Some examples of this would be any life threatening situation, or a homeless person.
