Elia and his father had bene tired but they would have not been able to fall asleep, so they would have to take turns sleeping, they had to look after one another. If they where to both fall asleep the there is a very high possibility that they may never wake up again, because of hypothermia. They could have died of hypothermia if they fell asleep for more than 40 min-1 hour. They come across Rabbi Eliahu and he is looking for his son, while he is marching but doesn't seem to find him, the had gotten seperated. This is because they had started to care for themselfs and not one another, all they cared about was to suvive. Elie would have not allowed himself to get seperated from his father. The people who had gotten seperated where the people who had became selfish, they had already started to care about themselfs and if they where going to survive or not, they would not care for any one else other than themselves.

The Marching
The prisioners had been running through the night and had been in orders by the S.S. gaurds. The S.S. had too shoot anyone who would have stopped running, if you where to stop and take a little break you would be killed on the spot. Those prisioners who would have been too weak would have gotten quickly tired and wpould have been more quicker than the others. The had to run all day and night. Elie had the choice to just stop running and give up and to get shot on the spot, but he had not he would have kept on running and tried his hardest, Elie give up for his father. Elie had said that he had no right to die, he has to be there for his father. The soldiers where to have march and run for 15 mies, throughout one night, and it hadn't even been nice outside it would have been freezing cold out. The prisoinerws had to runa dn march in the cold, and half of the people would have died, because of the cold, they would have not even made it half way. They all had to evacuate, because the Germans had not wanted the others to find out what they had been doing. It had been very tough for Elie because he had to stay off of his foot for two weeks, but there was a lot of risks if he where to stay or to march for 15 miles.

Overall you did a good job Andrea! The only thing that needs work is the spelling correction because there was a few errors and it got me confused onto what you were saying. I like how you added on how Elie and his father worked together in order to survive, watching each other sleep for 45 minutes. And in my opinion what they are doing takes a lot of courage since most would of look out for themselves.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your blog post! You had a good understanding of what happened in the chapter and you had a good summary. I like how you added the part in the end with Rabbi Eliahu and his lost son. I also like that you added how people are starting to become more selfish in the concentration camps. Next time, I would try to put in more of your opinion on the chapter, since this is mostly a summary. Overall, good job.
ReplyDeleteThe conditions when they were running were really tough. Running about 15 miles in one night is crazy, yet alone they had to keep on going, in fear that they might get shot, and on top of that it was cold and they probably didn't have much clothing. It was very rough for them especially when they had to continue running through the snow. Luckily Elie and his father had each others' back and looked out for each other throughout the journey, especially when they were sleeping in the snow/cold night, where they could easily die of hypothermia. Great blog post Andrea!
ReplyDeleteAndrea, good job on your blog post. You had a great summary of what had happened in the chapter and you were very detailed as well. The thought of having to be very weak and starving, and having to run about 15-25 miles is crazy. Many would die along the way from being too weak, and if they stopped they would be shot. I couldn't image how much fear they must have been, it good that Elie didn't give up. Even though he had a injured foot. Overall, Good job.
ReplyDeleteYour blog post was overall good. You had a good summary and details on what happened. Good job explaining the conditions of the situation and how they would have died from hypothermia if they fell asleep for too long. Also good job talking about the surviving part and how Rabbi left his father. We know that Elie made a promise never to do that.
