Class List- Fire

fiire symbolism
  • the hatred directed toward the jews
  • the end of hope and prosperity
  • the death of the jews
  • burning of hope, memories, families, faith

the significance of the woman and the flames

The lady that was shouting was a lady the Elie knew form his town. Her husband and older son were deported witha different group of people by acident and since then she has been going crazy. in the cattle car she startes shouting about seeing flames even though there is nothing.

The flames symbolize what is happeningto millions of jews and their towns. They jewish people are being discriminated against and killed. after they have been killed their bodies are cremated.

the woman representes how almost all of the people feel about what is happening. they know that if they have to go through any more they might go crazy soon.

forshadowing in night

one thing that was forsahadowing in the book was being out in the ghettos. another thing is all the rules they had and they were slowly losing rights.
