Prompt: Describe the characters and the settings
So far in this book we have not meet to
many characters. Really the only characters we have meet are Elie his family
and Moshe. Other than that we have not been introduced to another characters
that have a huge effect on the story. The first person I want to talk about is
Elie, he is the main character in the book so fair. He is around the age of 12
and is thirsty to learn more about his religion and his culture. Even though
his dad disagrees with him wanting to learn about his religion Elie still
continues to want to be a master of Kabbalah. I feel like Elie has not completely
found his place in the community of the world. He has not found the path that
he will take for the rest of his life like most 15-year-old boys. Instead he is
still learning and under the influence of his family and community members.
Moshe is the second character I want to talk about.
At first I thought he was the main character because he was talked about
a lot but I soon realized Elie was the main character. Moshe is Elie's role
model when it comes to Judaism and there religion. Moshe is poor but still
has faith on his religion. Even though Moshe kind of disappears from the book
after a couple a pages he still is the represents
the commitment of Judaism.
The setting of this book first starts in a small town called
Sighet in Transylvania. It is in 1944 right before Germany was defeated in WW2. Basically all
the community members are Jewish but they still are very open to other people.
After the first 17 pages the setting change from Sighet to a ghetto. After a
couple of weeks maybe they started making it into a normal community with police,
jobs, and even a small government. Then they went to
the concentration camps were the conditions were terrible. It was
something that no one should have to ever endure
