Presentation Transcript

  1. After the men form ranks, they learn the truth about the crematoriums. There is talk among the young men about rebelling, but the elders reply, “We mustn’t give up hope, even now as the sword hangs over our heads.” With which side do you agree? Compose a persuasive speech that supports whichever perspective you choose. For instance, if you agree with the younger men, you might write a speech that encourages the others to revolt. However, if you agree with the elders, your speech should promote patience and inaction. Try to include at least three sensible reasons to support your viewpoint.

  2. Eliezer poses a profound question: “How was it possible that men, women, and children were being burned and that the world kept silent?” Write a letter to Elie Wiesel in which you answer his question. You may base your answer either on the book, on what you know about history or your own opinion. The letter should be at least one page in length.

  3. AkibaDrumer is chosen for Birkenau during the selection, but he is not surprised. He had become resigned to death, which Eliezer blames for his demise when he says, “As soon as he felt the first chinks in his faith, he lost all incentive to fight and opened the door to death.” • Imagine that you are Akiba’s friend, and you see him slowly losing his will to live. Write a letter to him in which you try to convince him not to give up his fight for survival
