Elie's father gave him a spoon and a knife and that symbolized inheritance because he thought that he was going to die. At the same time, for Elie it was a symbol of hope that he was going to see his father again. There have been multiple occasions where their lives were in danger, but all Elie cared about was being with his dad. When they got separated, having the spoon and knife helped him stay calm because  he knew when they were done, he could give them back to him.
Supporting quote: " 'Here, take this knife,' he said. 'I won't need it anymore. You may find it useful. Also take this spoon. Don't sell it. Quickly! Go ahead, take what I'm giving you!' My inheritance..."

Whenever the bell would be rung, the Jews knew to either go to work and face the unjust treatment or it was time to go to bed and be rid of the cruelty they faced during the day even if it was only for just a little while. "The sound of the bell brought us back to reality. We had to go to bed."(Wiesel69).]]> 2020-10-15 18:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/upu2621l3g32cu6d/wish/833485541 Group 1- Motifs, Symbols, and Themes kendallbattiste https://padlet.com/jomelinebalatayo/upu2621l3g32cu6d/wish/833486380 A symbol in chapter 5 is the bell.  The bell symbolizes enforcement of rules that the Jews have to follow.  The bell can also symbolize power over the Jews because the bell regulates their lives and is in control of what they do and when they do it.
