"He was burning with fever...He was lying on a plank, livid, his lips pale...they said that if we were ill we should die soon...He grew weaker everyday... I was riveted to my father's deathbed."

Elie's father is dying slowly from all the running, and his father knows it too. This might encourage Elie to continue the journey that his father wasn't able to complete.  ]]> 2016-12-07 16:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/prisharathore18/qbia5oh9bfti/wish/142337469 prisharathore18 https://padlet.com/prisharathore18/qbia5oh9bfti/wish/142345197 Character
"I awoke on January 29...There was no prayers at his grave...His last word was my name. A summons, to which I didn't respond." (106)

Elie's father is dead and gone from this world. Elie has no one but himself.

"On April 5th, the wheel of history turned."

This is a metaphor because it is comparing a change in their fates to a literal wheel of history. ]]> 2016-12-07 16:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/prisharathore18/qbia5oh9bfti/wish/142346849 prisharathore18 https://padlet.com/prisharathore18/qbia5oh9bfti/wish/142347768 Setting
"The head of the camp announced that Buchenwald was to be liquidated...And the evacuation began."

Now Elie is going to be set free from the concentration camp all by himself.]]> 2016-12-07 16:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/prisharathore18/qbia5oh9bfti/wish/142347768 prisharathore18 https://padlet.com/prisharathore18/qbia5oh9bfti/wish/142348717 Past
"The look in his eyes, as they stared into mine, has never left me."

Elie is finally free. His last words in the book are these, because Hitler had starved all of them and this is how he looks like once he made it out of the concentration camp.]]> 2016-12-07 16:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/prisharathore18/qbia5oh9bfti/wish/142348717 https://padlet.com/prisharathore18/qbia5oh9bfti/wish/980076234 2020-12-02 15:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/prisharathore18/qbia5oh9bfti/wish/980076234
