Here are some answers to some questions i thought and wondered about. And i put all of them onto a slideshow.
I am a student at Ōtaki College in Ōtaki, NZ. My blog is a place where I will be able to share some of my learning. Please note....some work won't be edited - they are just my first drafts, so there may be some errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas on my posts.
Near the end of the book Elie felt like all hope was gone, at the end he saw himself in the mirror and he described it as if he was looking at a corpse.
He had now matured, his family were gone now and Elie now had a different view on life and even though his freedom was taken away and his family and friends, i'm sure he was now grateful that he was free and no longer had to have his every move watched.
It made me feel super upset there was so many unnecessary things that they did, like hanging people in front of others, babies, old and sick and children getting thrown into the crematorium.
Some of the main things that made me upset was that probably that a lot of people got hanged and that many people died for no reason. Although everything that the people in the camps went through were horrifying.
It made me feel a lot better when Elie got out of the camp, and although it was sad that Elie's father died, it made me feel a bit better that he was put out of his misery.
It made me think that peoples attitudes are different depending on who they meet or encounter.
Like if the soldiers did not believe everything Hitler was saying would they still obey orders?
I think that you should always be grateful for what you have and help people in need in anyway you can.
