 "Why do you pray?" he asked after a moment.
Why did I pray? Strange question. Why did I live? Why did
I breathe?]]> 2021-03-10 18:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1294440229 1942 3904882 https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1303605267 Doubtful

believed me or not... "]]> 2021-03-12 17:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1303605267 1943 3904882 https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1303620601 Hopeful
we listened to every evening, announced encouraging news: the daily bombings of Germany and Stalingrad, the preparation of the Second Front. And so we, the Jews of Sighet, waited for better days that surely were soon to come.]]> 2021-03-12 17:50:01 UTC https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1303620601 1944 3904882 https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1303631303 Afraid
Budapest radio announced that the Fascist party had seized
power. German troops
had penetrated Hungarian territory with the government's approval. German Army vehicles made their appearance on our streets.]]> 2021-03-12 17:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1303631303 8 days of Passover 3904882 https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1303645506 Calm before the storm Germans arrested the leaders of the Jewish community.
From that moment on, everything happened very quickly.
The race toward death had begun.]]> 2021-03-12 17:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1303645506 Eli's sense of self 3904882 https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1312915497 Numb
I looked at my house in which I had spent years seeking my
God, fasting to hasten the coming of the Messiah, imagining what
my life would be like later. Yet I felt little sadness. My mind was
empty.]]> 2021-03-15 21:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1312915497 Delusion 3904882 https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1312946787 Sugar-coat
"They worry lest we join the partisans..."
"As far as I'm concerned, this whole business of deportation is
nothing but a big farce. Don't laugh. They just want to steal our
valuables and jewelry. They know that it has all been buried and
that they will have to dig to find it; so much easier to do when the
owners are on vacation..."]]> 2021-03-15 21:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1312946787 Arrival of Auschwitz 3904882 https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1369606631 Change
"Was there here a single place where
one was not in danger of death?"
"No guard in sight, only the chimney's shadow...Lulled

“NIGHT. No one was praying for the night to pass quickly.” 
In this context of night, night is secure. One can be able to see you to judge you in the night. ]]> 2021-03-30 20:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1369668195 Night 3904882 https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1369672891 Loneness
“Some pressed against the bars to see. There was nothing. Only the darkness of night.” 
In this context of night, night is lonely. The darkness of night brings a sense of loneness making the people feel sad.

"I refused to give him my shoes." "my gold crown was safe." There are two main examples of Eli being strong willed in this section. He doesn't give up his shoes and he doesn't give up his gold crown to the dentist. ]]> 2021-04-11 08:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1403720872 Eli is changing 3904882 https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1403725534 Submissive
Eli realizes for his survive he needs to obey since if he did keep his gold crown he could not keep it. " I obeyed." "I wanted to run away" He took the punishment and he did not escape the terror he'd encounter. Eli is losing his spunk. ]]> 2021-04-11 08:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1403725534 pg. 85-97 3904882 https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1461577315 Obligation to family
"I had no right to let myself die. What would he do without me? I
was his sole support."
Even though Eli would like to just give up and die he has this obligation to his father because Eli knows without him his father would give up living as well and will be unable to continue. Both share the purpose of one another well-being. ]]> 2021-04-26 20:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1461577315 pg. 98-1115 3904882 https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1461578035 Loss
"Suddenly, the evidence overwhelmed me: there was no longer
any reason to live, any reason to fight."
Like I described in the pervious entree the only reason for living for Eli was his father now that he is dead Eli has to confront reality. He is going to be forced to accept this loss. The loss of his purpose, the loss of this father. ]]> 2021-04-26 20:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/3904882/jxcidentitytl/wish/1461578035
