When reading chapter three, I was horrified at all the atrocities
going on in the camps, such as a pit where babies where being burned and a pit
for adults. Not only that, but families were torn apart. Elie was separated
from his family and left with only his father. He lived with the fear that at
one point he would be taken away from his dad too. This is heartbreaking not
only because he was torn apart from his family, but because Elie finally seems
to have lost hope in humanity. At the beginning of the book, Elie was a Jew who
studied his religion and had faith but at this point in the book that seems to
have changed.
I agree Lizette it was horrible that he lost his faith because of all that had happened to him I would have thought because he had such strong faith it would become greater with what was happening to him.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to disagree with Arlene on the part where he would seek to God during these ruff times because the only reason why they are in this is because of there religion and it seems natural to despise a figure whom you can't see and are able to blame for the causes around you.
