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.
The way people reacted to the camps was terrible, and it left some people mentally unstable. This drawing shows her as all messed up and everything, but it doesn't show how crowded and gross the train was...
ReplyDeleteI think you could have improved your drawing by drawing how the train carts were packed with many people. In the book, it says that it was so crowded that people had to take turns sitting down. But the drawing does show how mentally unstable the woman was becoming because of the fact that she lost her family.
ReplyDeleteoh yes.. you are right but i did this to just focuse on eli and his fathers reaction of her actions.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rosemarie and Monica, but I also understand on how you wanted to chose focus on Eli and his father's reaction, but in the book, it didn't really talk about there reaction, it mostly was about Ms. Schachter and her screamings, and how her son reactead by holding onto her hand. So if you drew about that it would of made more sense.
ReplyDeleteIs that little boy Elie? And what is he saying? I don't remember him having much of a reaction to this scene
