part 1:

1. Tell me 2 things that you admire or disgust about any of the characters in the chapter and why? ( 5 sentences)
I admire Rabi Eliahou's loyalty to his son. It just shows you how much he loved his son and despite everything, he still was watching out for his son. and I'm disgusted by his son abandoning him. I dont care what the situation is, I would never leave either of my parents behind. I would rather die with my parents.

2. Rabbi Eliahou’s son abandons him during the death march from Buna,The rabbi is looking for his son: throughout their ordeal in the concentration camps, father and son have protected and supported each other. Eliezer falsely tells Rabbi Eliahou he has not seen the son, yet, during the run, Eliezer saw the son abandon his father, running ahead when it seemed Rabbi Eliahou would not survive. Eliezer prays that he will never do what Rabbi Eliahou’s son did. This illustrating the depth of the brutality to which people are capable of sinking when they are mistreated for too long, these incidents reflect on another, They examine the way that the Holocaust tests father-son bonds.
What do you think of these unfortunate events? how do you feel about it? Do you think these incidents effects Elie's relationship towards his father? Why do you think that his son abandoned his father? What would you have done is this event, where you and a loved one had to run 42 miles or you will be shot ?Would you take care of yourself or would you do whatever it takes to survive together? Would you also fight over food with your loved one?( 8 sentences)

I think that this is very sad. I feel like it made Elie appreciate his father and I think he will do anything for his father now. The son abandoned his father because he felt that his father would slow him down. I think he would rather see his father die then die himself. I think the son is heartless and very selfish. If i was ever in this situation, I would never leave my mom behind, I would do anything it takes for us both to move on together. I would never fight over food either, I would share every last crumb I had with her.
