If you want to go above and beyond, you can also provide an analysis of the topic. 5. You want to keep the paragraph by describing in detail and using voice. You can do this by using sensory detail, descriptive language, and maybe even an attempt to use a simile, metaphor, or personification in your paragraph. If you want to go above and beyond, you should effectively use a simile, metaphor, or use of personification to create a good image to the reader. 6.

In the first picture, the expression on the little boys face is full of fear and it seems as though he has froze like an icicle. The Jews in the picture are running away, as the SS are just looking so proud of what they've done. The Holocaust was a terrible thing that shouldn't have happened, and was all because of a religion. It's very sad to know that about 6 million innocent people had to die during this tragic time. Unfortunately, all of the children that were young and not able to work (most of the children) were killed.These pictures make me want to go and save all of them, but I can't. They were treated extremely wrong, and were in harsh conditions all 24 hours of the day. The Holocaust killed many children who were all innocent which was an unfortunate loss in history.

The first signs of trouble was when Moshe the Beadle was warning all of the Jews that they should flee for their safety, but no one believed him. Then there were German Officers that were staying in the homes of the Jews, which was different. No one thought that this was bad thought because they treated the Jews with respect and honesty, they had no reason to fear. 2. Then things started to get a little bit out of control: then the Germany Army cars were parked in the streets, all the Jews had a 6:00 cerfew, they had to wear a yellow star which they questioned but accepted, then they caged in all of the Jews in what was called a ghetto by boarding up all the windows that faced outside the town and fencing in the town so no one could depart, the solders started taking the men daily to work for a few hours to build train tracks. 3.Then a couple of important people went to the house of Elie and told his father to immediately come to a very important meeting. He came back very late that evening ith news of "deportation." Then things got worse and the army called all of the Jews to the street and brought them to another ghetto after stripping them from most of their belongings.

How do the Jews of Sighet react? 1.The Jews of the Sighet reacted at first with no fear in their minds. They thought nothing of what Moshe the Beadle had said and also thought that he was crazy. They started getting suspicious when the German's were starting to invade the streets and making up all these rules that were not useful. 2. The Jews were starting to loose trust of the Germans and were being more cautions of what they heard and saw. Then the big announcement from Elie's father really started the commotion. People had to pack little of their belongings and give all their valuables to the German Officers (most people buried them.) 3.The Jews could have saved themselves if only they would have listened to Moshe the Beadle. They didn't though, and were taken away from their homes and brought into a new ghetto that was unfamiliar and suspicious. They could have been saved, but they didn't think too much about how they were reacting until they were out of luck and had no choice but to listen to the Germans.

Reaction Section: I thought that how they reacted was very different. If I had heard that German's (who were against them at the time) were invading our towns, I would have fled before they would have gotten to us. Why did they think that Moshe was mad? He was actually right all along. They should have listened to him, but it was too late but they didn't. What would have happened if the towns people and the Jews listened to what he had said? I think that the Holocaust could have been prevented. If only they looked at the signs of danger and listened. ** ====**<span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color: rgb(234, 248, 22); background-color: rgb(255, 0, 75)">__pages 21 – 26__ **<span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color: rgb(234, 248, 22); background-color: rgb(255, 0, 75)"> (due Monday 5/5) ==== <span style="color: rgb(9, 96, 251)"><span style="color: rgb(132, 0, 255)"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif">**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(46, 108, 250)"><span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"> Who is Madame Schachter? 1.

Was it God? Did she have a dream about it every night just to haunt her for the real thing? Did she end up dying in the furnace with her son?

While Elie's father was repeating the prayer for the dead, he was actually praying for himself. 2. Elie was rebellious toward his God. He had many doubts and he started questioning him. "<span style="color: rgb(11, 188, 50)">Why should i bless his name? " He thought that because God wasn't with him through this time, nor did he prevent this from happening in any way. The lord of the all powerful, was silent and helped no one. He had no reason to thank god. 3. Elie said that for as long as he will live (even if it is only for a few days) that he will never forget what God has put him through. This experience would be the end of his life and he was sure if it. Why did God have to end it this way? <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; color: rgb(7, 182, 80)"> What are the specific acts, events and ideas that REKINDLE faith? 1. When you pray, you are asking God to help you through what you are facing in Elie's case. Him and his father were praying to God and praying "May his name be blessed and magnified." 2. Knowing that Elie is not alone comforts him. He is with his father and with him it will give him the strength that he needs to keep going. 3. Elie didn't exactly think that God didn't exist, but he was just questionable that he was always with him through every step of the way. They think that God is testing them and that they need to find a way to kill the devil inside them without Gods help every step of the way.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; color: rgb(5, 204, 102)">Reaction Section: i think that if I was in Elie's place right now, I would have a lot of doubts also. i don't blame him, because I still have doubts in my religion too. It must be very hard to imagine how hard it is to keep standing on the same belief even when he doesn't answer your prayers or isn't showing that he is with you. I think that Elie should still have faith, even though in his condition it may be hard to still believe.

Elie was lucky because he got put into a very good unit. They gave him enough food and soup, because they could have not even fed them at all. 3. The generals let Elie's father still work with him.

When Elie was trying to help his father figure it out, people laughed at them and in conclusion, his dad never really got any better at it. 2. When Elie got whipped 25 times. this was because he disobeyed orders from the general to say away, while he was with a little german girl. The was told not to tell anyone. 3.The man that was eating the extra soup because he was so weak, was hanged.

Elie was separated from his dad and they decided to do a selection, which mean that many people would be killed that day. 2. They started making more selections and they were very strickt with their rules. They had high standarads and weren't willing to put up with anything. They executed many people, and held meetings to show everyone what would happen if you misbehaved. 3. they put the jews in more harsh conditions and they were in so cold of climates that many people had to get their legs or hands amputated. AND <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; color: rgb(208, 63, 253)"> Jews' attempts to control things 1. The Jews were having a special ceremony praising their lord and having a celebration. This was not aloud because no religion was aloud to be taken place in the camps. that was actually the reason why they were in their, because of their religion. 2. They were lying to the guards about their age and they would do practically anything just to stay in the selection. They had to push so hard, just to stay alive. The victims still could sneak things from other people or they also kept stuff from their homes. Elie's dad had kept a knife and a spoon. 3. The Jew's tried to make it a good experiance and make the best of everyday, even though it was in the worst of conditions. The Jew's obeyed the german's as best as they could so that they could prove that they were good to keep and they shouldn't be killed. They escaped the camp very tiredly, but determined to fight till the end, not even knowing how long it may be. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; color: rgb(198, 41, 245)"> Reaction Section: I think that at this point the jews should just listen to the Germans. I think this because the German's know a lot more of what is happeneing with the Russians. They should just do as they saw even if it means taking a risk. They have only the Germans to count on. They need to play it safe, because they have a lot to loose and only to survive to gain. They are against the odds. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; color: rgb(198, 41, 245)">
