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.
I agree that this was a powerful and emotional scene for Eliezer. He had to witness his father dying slowly, his life escaping from his hands. Even though Eliezer was relieved that his father was dead in the end, Eliezer and his father did have a close relationship throughout the whole book. I felt bad when Eliezer was the only one who survived in his family.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this is when his father died.... His father died at the last camp they stayed at together. His father died of a disease called, dysentery. I remember he died when they were staying inside their barracks. I remember his father kept calling out to him to get him water. Eliezer just went to sleep. He realized his father was dead when he woke up and found a new prisoner in his fathers place.
ReplyDeleteOn page 105, Eliezer just left his father on the floor to give in to his father's pleas. The next morning, Eliezer went back to find him... still alive.
Yeah this was a good scene to draw because he watched his father get weaker and weaker and he wanted to hold on to him for as long as he can.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rosemarie because this wasn't the scene where his father actually died, it was many days later.
I AGREE with everyone because not only is this scene important but as Isabela says its powerful. Everyone in the camps gets a lot weaker because of the lack of food and sleep and nutrition. This scene really portrays what happens to Elie.
ReplyDeletePS you keep spelling Elie's name like Eli. And you forgot the second C in circle in our web adress haha. LOL
