How do elies attitude and feelings towards

Thinking that the Jews in the infirmary will be put to death prior to the evacuation, Eliezer and his father choose to be evacuated with the others. After the war, Eliezer learns that they made the wrong decision—those who remained in the infirmary were freed by the Russians a few days later.

With his injured foot bleeding into the snow, Eliezer joins the rest of the prisoners. At nightfall, in the middle of a snowstorm, they begin their evacuation of Buna. In Jewish tradition, the High Holidays are the time of divine judgment.

According to the prayer book, Jews pass before God on Rosh Hashanah like sheep before the shepherd, and God determines who will live and who will die in the coming year. In the concentration camps, Eliezer hints, a horrible reversal has taken place.

All the prisoners pass before Dr. Mengele, the notoriously cruel Nazi doctor, and he determines who is condemned to death and who can go on living.

What is the difference between diction and tone? What is an example of theme? What is the definition of theme? What is the definition of allusion? What is an example of allusion? What are some examples of hyperbole? What is an analogy? In what way is the fight over bread on the train similar to the scene that occurs years later on the passenger boat? As the children rushed for the tossed coins, it reminded Elie of the people scrambling for the bits of bread.

He remembered that each one was out for themselves and wasn't concerned about others being hurt. Describe the weather conditions during the forced march. The wind was icy cold, there was snow falling and there was a lot of snow on the ground. What almost happens to Elie's father if it had not been for Elie's intervention? Elie's father fell asleep in the cold, but Elie woke him up and made him walk.

If he hadn't done that, his father would have frozen to death. For how long did they march, and what did those that were forced to march live on? They marched two days and one night.

When they finished the forced march, at what camp do they arrive? Camp Glewitz. How does Elie's attitude and feelings toward his father begin to resemble that of Rabbi Eliahou's son?

What does he feel when his father dies and why? He finally told himself it was too late to save his father, tried to talk himself into eating his father's ration of bread. When his father was hit, Elie did not move for fear of being hit himself. He did not try to protect his father. When Elie's father died, he felt no tears and he felt that if he looked into his conscience, he would feel like he was free of his father at last. Free of the burden of having to stay alive for him.

What does Elie see in the mirror when he looks at his reflection for the first time since his imprisonment? He sees a corpse gazing back at him and he felt, as he stared into his own eyes the corpse in the mirror he would never forget those eyes. New York: Infobase Publishing, Koestler-Grack, Rachel A.
