this passage talks about a man named akiba drummer who was with them in the camp, and he was someone who went around saying he could not do it anymore, and he was too weak. everyone around him tried raising his spirits. This was a good scene to use for the book, because they are all together squished in one room, and then you hear an old man saying he wont make it and he is weak. And yet everyone looks up to him thinking about how he was strong enough to go through everything he went through. This scene was very easy for me to visualize.

In the book there is a scene where a woman sits in the box cart, in the same corner. Sometimes silent but sometimes very hysterical. She had lost her son and her husband, she was all alone. Sometimes she sat there in silence wondering how she could be separated from her family. other times she would be hysterical crying. A few times she looked through the cracks of the box cart and started screaming FIRE. Everyone stared at her going crazy out of no where, then she would sit and be calm again. This was a power full scene, and i was able to visualize this scene because everything seemed so realistic, this was a very interesting scene to me, because it just showed me how all people are effected, and how they react in different ways.

I drew this picture based on the scene in the book, where everyone is standing outside getting ready to get picked up by the box carts to be taken to the concentration camps. as you can see everyone alined has a sack on there back containing things they brought with them that was not taken away by the nazi's. at the beginning of the line you see there chief rabbi, standing there, with a sack on his back and his beard was shaven and he did not look happy. There rabbi was known to have a long beard, and always be happy amongst all the people around him. This passage shows how something this devastating can effect people in horrible ways. Seeing something as little as a rabbi's beard being shaven, is a big deal because that would not happen, if there was no war.

I think this was such a POWER FULL scene, this were Eli and his father were running to another camp, in the snow. His father was getting weaker and weaker as they were running, and he just gave up. he feel to the ground, and yes, Eli had to witness his fathers life fade, and had to watch the person who was with him through this hard time, die. I think this was the most power full scene in this book, as i am sitting and visualizing it, i was able to just imagine the pain, and the emotions in this scene.

As you can see in the picture, Eli was at home with his family waiting for his father to come home from a meeting had to go to. When he gets back from the meeting, his face is flushed, he has tears in his eyes and he is worried. Then he says the word "tranformers" the family was very worried. This was the scene where his father found out they were going to be taken to the consentration camps. This is how his family found out, while he was still in the door way. This was a very important scene because this was where his family found out they were going to be taken away to the consentration camp. this one scene sets the whole book. This was a good scene to draw a picture of because when i read this, i visioned the scene in my head, and felt like i was there.

After running for so long in the cold and heavy snow, they finally reached to Buchenwald. Eliezer's father was finally giving up, he couldn't take it anymore because he was too weak and tired. Seeing his dad like that made him angry, he used every strength in him to let his father know that he couldn't give up now, but after a while he realized that he was only arguing with death that his father had already chosen.

Just sitting there watching his father dye bit by bit, he knew he didn't want to let him go, not now, after all that they had went through together.

One day Eliezer had crossed Idek's path when he was mad. Idek starting beating him in the chest, head, and kept throwing him on the ground and picking him up again. He beat him so much until he was covered in blood. After he was done he sent him back to work as if nothing happened.

A lady that he worked with who he thought was French helped clean him up, and spoke in German saying: "Bit your lips, little brother . . . Don't cry. Keep your anger, your hate, for another day, for later. The day will come but not now . . . Wait. Clench your teeth and wait . . ."

After some years he saw that same lady in Paris, and reminded her of that day in Buna when she had helped him after Idek had beat him.

That was a terrible time for Eliezer because he had done nothing to receive such beatings, yet he won't forget that day because he still see the images in his head.
