'She must be in a labor camp. And Tzipora, she is a big girl now. She too must be in a camp...' How we would have liked to believe that. We pretended, for what if one of us still did believe." (pg 46) This shows that Elie is losing faith in humanity and doesn't know what he should believe anymore. He says they are pretending because they don't believe anymore.]]> 2017-04-24 14:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/wagner_jill/qki3q4bwaqu7/wish/167855605 https://padlet.com/wagner_jill/qki3q4bwaqu7/wish/167855887 "And he began beating him with an iron bar. At first, my father simply doubled over under the blows, but then he seemed to break in two like an old tree struck by lightning."This shows he is losing hope because at any other  time in his life is his dad or anyone else was getting beat by someone else he would have stood up for them, but now he isn't doing anything and losing faith.]]> 2017-04-24 14:57:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wagner_jill/qki3q4bwaqu7/wish/167855887 https://padlet.com/wagner_jill/qki3q4bwaqu7/wish/167855987 Some men spoke of God: His mysterious ways, the sins of the Jewish people, and the redemption to come. As for me, I had ceased to pray. I concurred with Job! I was not denying His existence, but I doubted His absolute justice. This shows that Elie is losing his faith in his God. He doubts that his God is as great as he has always been told. He's losing what he cares about]]> 2017-04-24 14:57:53 UTC https://padlet.com/wagner_jill/qki3q4bwaqu7/wish/167855987 https://padlet.com/wagner_jill/qki3q4bwaqu7/wish/167856238 "...he slapped my father  with such a force that he fell down and then crawled back to his place on all fours. I stood petrified. What had happened to me?...Had I changed that much? So fast? Remorse began to gnaw at me." This shows that Elie is losing hope because it no longer fazes him to see such distress among someone he loves dearly. He knows now not to show too much emotion or he will be punished and that scares him.]]> 2017-04-24 14:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wagner_jill/qki3q4bwaqu7/wish/167856238 https://padlet.com/wagner_jill/qki3q4bwaqu7/wish/167858841 "But, the third rope was still moving: the child, too light, was still breathing...
and so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering between life and death, writhing before our eyes. And we were forced to look at him at close range. He was still alive when I passed him. His tounge was still red, his eyes not yet extinguished, Behind me, I heard the same man asking: "For God's sake, where is God?" And from within me, I heard a voice answer. "Where is he?" This is where - hanging from the gallows."]]> 2017-04-24 15:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/wagner_jill/qki3q4bwaqu7/wish/167858841
