As for me, I liked his wide, dreamy eyes, gazing off into the distance. The author uses this to show that he often keeps to himself, probably thinking.

Freed of normal constraints. some of the young let go of their inhibitions and, under cover of darkness, caressed one another, without any thought of others. Wiesel uses this to show the compassion of the children and the pure fear instilled in the people in the train car.

Tzipora was holding my mother's hand. I saw them walking further and further away...I didn't know that this was the moment in time and the place where I was leaving my mother and Tzipora forever.

Had this happened to me, I do not know how I'd react, however reading this makes me feel like I would not be able to cope with the thought of losing my parents or siblings.]]> 2021-12-08 17:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1936439491 nolan_buchanan https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1936447484 Page 34, Wiesel uses anaphora when he repeats the word Never 8 times consecutively.

This was to prove a point. The Germans did this to show their power, and hatred towards the Jewish

Don't cry. Keep your anger, your hate, for another day, for later. The day will come but not now... Wait. Clench your teeth and wait...

This stands out because later in his life after liberation. He met the woman who told him these words, the words that had helped inspire him and help him to understand that if he just keeps his head down and listens, his chances of survival are far greater.]]> 2021-12-10 17:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1940819569 nolan_buchanan https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1945092712 "I decided  to give my father lessons in marching in step, in command: Left, Right! and my father would try" (Pg. 55)

Elie saw that his father did not know how to march in step, and was being punished and beaten because of it. Knowing that he could do nothing but watch his father be beaten, he decided to fix the root cause and teach his father to march.]]> 2021-12-13 17:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1945092712 nolan_buchanan https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1945103709 " What are you, My God? I thought angrily. How do you compare this stricken mass gathered to affirm to you their faith, their anger, their defiance" ( Pg. 66)

This line of thought that Elie has shows that he is losing faith in his religion. He who stood out from most children for his religious ideals, was losing faith in said religion. This is a powerful symbol of the hopelessness many felt during the Holocaust. ]]> 2021-12-13 17:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1945103709 nolan_buchanan https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1945122396 The Blockalteste appeared, his face reflecting our collective weariness. " It all went well. Don't worry. Nothing will happen to anyone. Not to anyone..." (Pg. 72)

I wonder why he would lie to the prisoners, is it to keep their moral higher or to prevent them from panicking?

And I hated that body." (Pg. 85)

Elie is constantly battling his mental and physical state. While he knows he must keep going his body is telling him to stop.

This is what Elie is realizing that his father no longer wants to live or fight. I feel like it is selfish for Elie to make his father live, to make him suffer any longer. I am thinking this because his father at this point would be in his mid to late 50's and his body would not be able to handle the constant stress.]]> 2021-12-13 17:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1945157347 nolan_buchanan https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1945163230 The prisoners had seen so much death and been through so much horror that the crematorium chimneys no longer phased them. " Very close to us stood the tall chimney of the crematorium's furnace. It no longer impressed us. It barely drew our attention" (Pg. 104) ]]> 2021-12-13 17:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1945163230 nolan_buchanan https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1945168645 "Our first action as free men was to throw ourselves onto the provisions. That's all we thought about. No thoughts of revenge, or of parents. Only of bread."(Pg. 115)

This shows how starved they were. The lack of emotion from starvation and over working turned them from humans to feral being who threw themselves at the food.]]> 2021-12-13 17:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nolan_buchanan/obvuvko7qnlzfzb6/wish/1945168645
