cHapter 1- Ignorance is bliss
- "The people were saying, 'The Red Army is advancing with giant strides...Hitler will not be able to harm us, even if he wants to...'" (Wiesel 8)
The people were delusional and ignorant, thinking that they were not going to be harmed. They thought that they were safe and happy. They were blissful from their ignorance. They thought that Hitler wouldn't be able to harm them, because the Red Army is coming.
The picture shows a man with an arrow through his head, a dead dog near his feet, an atom bomb exploding behind him, but he is still smiling. The picture is divided into two halves, the left half has barren land with all the bad, while the right side has flowers and grass, with the man and a rainbow near him.
It shows that he is blissful in his own delusional world, and doesn't know about what is happening in his surroundings. He is just like the Jews, who don't know about the conditions in a concentration camp, and how they are going to end up there.

Chapter 2-to the slaughter house
- "In front of us those flames. In the air, the smell of burning flesh....We had arrived. In Birkenau."(Wiesel 28)
On the way to Birkenau, the prisoners were shoved into cattle cars, and given little food. Many died on the way. They were on the way, a woman was yelling repeatedly about a fire. Later when they reached, they saw a fire and smelled burning flesh. It can be assumed that people were being burned.
First they were put into train cars made for cattle, then they were treated worse than animals, by being starved to death. As they pulled in the death camp they smelled people being burned alive, just like when a cow's throat is being slit.
The picture shows the cows marching towards their death, just like how the prisoners marched into the gates of Birkenau.

chapter 3-Experation dates
- "There was no time to think, and I already felt my father's hand press against mine: we were alone."(Wiesel 29)
When Ellie and his family arrive at Aushwitz, they all have an expiration date, whether they know it of not. Ellie arrives at the death camp, and is separated from his sisters and mother. The rest of his family will be killed, and only Ellie and his father will remain. The Nazis are represented by the mother examining the milks expiration date. The Nazis choose who was good to keep, and got rid of all the rest.
Ellie says he is alone. He and his father are alone, and even thought there are many men around him, his family has reached their expiration date, therefore he feels alone.

Chapter 4- Fool's gold
- "...our gold teeth were (about) to be extracted.....I thought of pretending to be sick......I went back to see him a week later. With the same excuse: I was still not feeling better......(later) the dentist from Warsaw pulled my crown with the help of a rusty spoon" (Wiesel 51, 52, 56)
Elie tricked the dentist by telling his that he was sick and made him a fool. Elie thought that if he kept giving the same excuse, he wouldn't have to give up his gold tooth. But that trick of his didn't last forever, and he is now the fool, as he is now forced to give up, to another dentist, his gold tooth and a piece of bread for postponing. He initially thought that he fooled the first dentist, but later, he turned into the fool.
The picture attached is of Fool's gold. Fool's gold, or pyrite, has tricked many people into thinking that they have found priceless gold, as they look similar, while they have found a metal that is worthless in comparison to gold. The people become fools, that is why it is called Fool's gold.

Chapter 5-The pen is mightier than the Sword
- "I had time to notice that Mengele had not written down their numbers"(Weisel 72)
The most intimidating part of being a prisoner, is the possibility of death. The selection picks out the few that are not fit to continue, and is a Jew's worst nightmare. Elie, his father and the rest of the prisoners must take part in the selection. When Elie watches his friends run, and sees that their names had not been written down, he was glad. It meant more than a a scribble of ink was not there, but that his friends could live another day.
The pen that is writing the names of the Jews is capable of killing someone. Something so little can be so powerful. The pen is mightier than the sword.

chapter 6-running for the prize of a lifetime
- "'Don't think, don't stop, run!' Near me, men were collapsing into the dirty snow. Gunshots." (Wiesel 86)
Instead of running in a race and winning an amazing prize, the prisoners were running for a prize, that was't just amazing; it was priceless. Life. The people who lost their life, were either too slow or stopped, and got shot, or they fell down out of disease and fatigue, and were trampled over by the other prisoners, who were in fear of being shot for being too slow. People who made it through this, got the prize of life.
In the picture, a man has just won a race, and crossed the finish line, ready to get his prize. The people who are slow and at the end usually get no prize. The prisoners who made it to the abandoned village got their prize, and got to keep their life, while the people who were slow and at the end got killed, and got their life taken away from them.

Chapter 7-murderous charity
- "...the bread had landed, a battle had ensued. Men were hurling themselves at against each other, trampling, tearing at and mauling each other...ready to kill for a crust of bread...there were two dead bodies....the father and the son."(Wiesel 101,102)
The men who threw the bread inside the cattle car meant to do it as an act of charity, but actually turned into an act of murder, as many prisoners killed each other to just have a crust of bread. This has a lot of irony as charity is an act of kindness, while murder is a sin.
The prisoners were starving for days eating nothing but snow. An old man who snuck the bread under his shirt, was brutally attacked and killed by his son, just to get a piece of bread. In the end both the father and the son died. The charity of a man who meant well, ended up killing two prisoners.
The picture shows a piece of bread that has "jam" smeared over the bread. It shows the bread is disguised as a harmless piece of delicious bread, while the "jam" is actually blood. The blood on the bread symbolizes, that bread, a symbol of life, has its hand dirty with blood from a sin of death. The innocent piece of charity, is actually an omen of death in disguise.

chapter 8-the circle of life
- "On my father's cot there lay another sick person...no prayers were said over his tomb...his last word had been my name...and deep inside me, if I could have searched the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last!..."(Wiesel 112)
In the death camps, life is not long. When Elie's father died, he knew that it would happen soon. Elie knew that he father would die eventually as it is the circle of life. Although Elie is sad to see his dad go, it was impossible for him to not feel at least a little bit of freedom.
Elie was struggling to keep his father happy, he was sick, and so close to death, that his death seemed to be a release from the world. Elie was sad, but he needed to be alone in order to stay alive, as the burden of his father was weighing him down. Elie feels guilty that he was ignoring his father, especially when he realizes that the last word his father says is his name. He is now free, but the price to pay for his freedom, is to see his father die before his eyes.
People died in death camps, and Elie lived the rest of his life remembering his father. Simba sees that his dad is dead, and he walks away crying, but accepting his life without his Father, even though he somehow feels that he could have prevented it. Elie wakes up devastated, knowing that his father is now dead, and feels that he didn't do anything to help his father, but he moves on with his life, as his father's last wish was for Elie to stay alive.

Chapter 9-Who let the cows out?
- "...the SS took positions throughout the camp, and began to herd the last of us toward the Appelplatz...grenades exploding...the SS had fled and the resistance had taken charge of the camp."(Wiesel 115)
In a previous example, we referenced the people being treated like cows. In the end, when the camp is liberated, the people run out of the camp, and eat the food. They are a bit like cows in this scenario, they think of nothing but the food, and are so eager for it they think of nothing but food, not even revenge.
The quote talks about when the Americans came and rescued the Jews. They were being herded like cattle. People were fighting to stop the rescuers, but they came anyway. They were saved, and not only did they save the Jews, they created life, and legends about the people who survived the Holocaust.
The picture shows the cows running lose, like the Jews, they are free! Free at last from the atrocities of the camp. The Jew's are free to do what they want when they want now, they are like the cows that escaped from the slaughterhouse.
