This time of confusion is apparent in the wording in this quote. At there time at the camp they wonder what would happen next at the camp. ]]> 2018-05-10 21:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/259790273 154003792 https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/259793501 "You're lucky to have been brought here so late. This  camp is paradise today, compared with what it was like two years ago."  (66) 


I've had this said to me before that a place is better recently but it was bad before. The place had gotten better shortly before I arrived and people said that is wasn't so good awhile ago. ]]> 2018-05-10 21:18:45 UTC https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/259793501 154003792 https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/259803936 "The race seemed interminable. I thought I had been running for years." (68) 

The stress and head rush of not getting picked by the SS doctors was rushing around in his brain. He was so scared of getting picked he ran super fast so he wouldn't get picked by the doctors. ]]> 2018-05-10 22:28:00 UTC https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/259803936 154003792 https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/259980546 "I shall always remember that smile. From which world did it come from?"  (86) 

He is questioning the smile that he got and was a sign of hope. The smile was a big part for him and the smile meant something that out of this world. ]]> 2018-05-11 15:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/259980546 154003792 https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/260877571 "Then I remembered something else: his son had seen him losing ground." (87) 

Elie Wiesel is having a nightmare about the rabbi and his son. He can't remember where his son is and remembers that he saw him limping in the back, away from the group, falling behind. ]]> 2018-05-15 14:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/260877571 154003792 https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/260882491 "I was unable to breathe through either mouth or nose. Sweat beaded my brow, ran down my spine." (89) 

I've been this cramped before where it is so hot and stuffy that you can't breathe. You're so crowded that breathing is impossible for a length of time. ]]> 2018-05-15 14:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/260882491 https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/261607456 "Why are you being so unkind to me son? Some water..." (105)


The son is tired of taking care of his father which is on the brink of death. He is annoyed and mad that his father is being so stubborn about living. What's it like from Elie's perspective? ]]> 2018-05-17 14:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/261607456 https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/263377161 "I did not weep, and it pains me that I could not weep. But I had no more tears." (106) 


I can connect to this because I have been so sad before that I couldn't cry at all. Elie is so lifeless at this point in the book that he cannot weep when his father has died. ]]> 2018-05-24 14:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/263377161 https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/263380964 "On April 5th, the wheel of history turned... This is the end! Hitler was going to keep his promise." (107) 


This quote means that Hitler was going to fulfill his promise of wiping out the Jews. Everyone in the camp gathered in the center to presumably be killed by the SS officers and soldiers. That was not the case though.  ]]> 2018-05-24 15:08:52 UTC https://padlet.com/154003792/pnfbhuyimc0k/wish/263380964
