Relationship: Families stick together during the toughest times by having faith in God.
Quote:"You will find the answer, Elizer only within yourself." (5 wiesel) Explanation: He can't understand why God is allowing so much death and destruction to happen to all these people. No matter how tough things got for him, he continued to have faith and a relationship with God to keep him going. I can relate to this in society by being able to have a good relationship with family during tough times and being able to come together a pray to help us overcome obstacles in our lives. Silence: Silence has several levels meaning. Quote: "How was it possible that men and women and children were being burned and that the world was being silent"(32 Wiesel). Explanation: Silence in this quote could question how all these people be murdered and nobody talk about it. People literally turned their heads and pretend that nothing ever happened. I was able to relate to the silence theme in today's society by being able to witness how many people chose to be silent during the election by not wanting to disclose who they were voting for in fear of getting into an argument with someone. Inhumanity: Many people in history have been treated inhumanely. Quote: "He threw himself on me like a beast, beating me in the chest, on my head, throwing me to the ground and picking me up again, crushing me with ever more violent blows, until I was covered in blood". Explanation: Sometimes the violence was so bad that it was difficult to believe that the violence was real. These people were treated so inhumanely and the people were terrified to speak or make noise during the beatings. Sometimes if the people were silent it would be mistaken for defiance and they would be beaten more. In today's society many innocent people have been hurt inhumanely during the protests and rioting after the election. |
