#2 If Elie were to give advice to the St. Thomas More community on how to live your life today, what do you think he would say?

If Elie were to come to Thomas more I think that he would tell us to treat others with respect. He would tell us to not hate or take you anger out on anyone. He would share with us some of his stories and tell us to never forget. He will tell us not to let it happen again and speak up when someone is doing something unjust.

#1 What is one things you have learned after reading this novel? What messages has Elie communicated to you?

When life gets hard, just keep going. Elie struggled alot while in the camps, including the struggle of helping his father survive. It was hard for him, but he held up strong and stuck to his faith and values.

What would you do?

1. I would kill the guy. He wants to die anyway, and I myself along with everyone else in the camp would probably prefer not to die.
2. One dying is better than the both of them. I would save one over killing both, but if the mother would become suicidal after the death of her child, kill the both of them.
3. No, he shouldnt leave his son. That's his child. He needs to stay with him & protect him. If the child will die anyway, then he should leave him. But, if he could live if under the protection of his father, then his father needs to stay with him.
