Eliezer describes two hangings, but he tells the reader that he witnessed many others. Yet he chose to write only about two. Why are these two hangings so important to him? How do they differ from the others?

Eliezer described the hangings that impacted him the most. They were most likely the hardest to watch and the most cruel. One of these included a small child whose neck didn't break, causing him to suffer a slow painful death. This probably hit Eliezer hard, seeing someone so innocent being tortured in front of a crowd.
ReplyDeleteBecause they were the hangings that caused the death of more important/loved people
ReplyDeleteyou forgot a period
Deleteyou forgot a period.
DeleteGomezG5 do your work.
DeleteYa do your work.
DeleteYour a little late on that period aren't ya Alex.
DeleteElie probably only wanted to describe only the most impactful hangings that he believed were most cruel. One hanging he explained was about a little kid who didnt instantly die. It later moved on to what God was doing and would bring a thought to readers about where is god and why god let this happen.
ReplyDeleteThis two guy should be the people who impress the most.He don't want to remember the more other things.He just choose two of them,the people who can representative the people,and who impact him.
ReplyDeleteI think he describe these two only because how traumatic they were compared to the others. The angelic boy died and they had a significant effect on the camp.
ReplyDeletebecause those 2 hangings were probably more eventful than any others.These 2 hangings were probably people that were a lot more important significant to him than any of the others who were hanged.
ReplyDeleteElie tells about the two that stuck with him the most. They were the cruelest and hardest to get out of his memory. I don't think that anyone who witnessed it will ever forget the little boy who hung for a half hour until he died.

ReplyDeleteMaybe he only talks about those 2 because those mightve been the ones that most impacted him. He doesnt talk about the others because maybe he doesnt want to remember those.
ReplyDelete3.) He described these two probably because these two affected him more than any of the others. They were probably grueling to watch, he goes on to say that one was a small chilled who’s neck did not break which forced him to die of suffocation slowly and the guards made everyone look at him as they passed.
ReplyDeleteTo show what they would do to anyone who would try to revolt, who would be killed because of one person. Also those two hanging's must had have the must impact on the him and the first one must have been his first hanging he saw and the other had the kid.
ReplyDeleteThe two hangings affected Elie the most because they were most brutal and hard to watch. One child who was hung didn't die right away and was hanging their suffering. Elie described the pain he felt when he look into the boys eyes.
ReplyDeleteBoth of the hangings impacted Elie the most because he saw the 2 of the hangings which both of them were struggling and still fighting for their life. While he was watching the hangings he felt the pain of both of them and probably even saw their lives being taken away slowly.
ReplyDeletethe two hangings he described impacted and affected him more than the other maybe. the two he described were more brutal and hard to witness. seeing the little boy struggling for a half an hour to stay alive would be hard to erase from your memory
ReplyDeleteHe wrote about these two because they meant the most to him. As the young boy died slowly a man asked where is god and elie replied that he was hanging in the gallows. He wrote about these two because they ripped away his faith in his religion the most.
ReplyDeleteSince Elie had witnessed so many hangings, he probably did not want to describe all of them. These were probably the two that he remembered to most and were probably the hardest for him. Especially the hanging of the child who had suffered a very slow death because he neck did not break.
ReplyDeleteElie only described two hangings probably because it impacted him the most. For example, a young boy, known as the little servant, was being hanged and was fighting for his life. Because of the young boy struggling between life and death, that is was could have impacted Elie and what made it important to him.
ReplyDeleteThese two hangings were the most important to him because he saw that one hanging where the guy got hung but then he was still alive but then he was dying slowly and then since he saw so many hangings those two were just important to him since it was hard to described all the other ones.
ReplyDeleteI think he chose to write about those two in particular because they impacted him more than the other horrors he had witnessed at the camp. They were the hardest to watch, especially because one of them involved a child.
ReplyDeleteThese two hangings were important because a young boy was being hung he didn't die when he dropped but instead he was slowly dieing and everyone had to watch him. He was struggling from life and death and that really impacted Elie.
ReplyDeleteI think Elie chose to write in depth about these two hangings because he may have felt that these in particular ones spoke out to him and made him look at things differently. He probably felt that these two ones really touched his heart and made him want to leave the camp even more badly. When he walked by the boy who was hung was still alive dying slowly and he may have felt that this was God trying to reach out to him.
ReplyDeleteThe reason that ellie only wrote about these two is because maybe these two were very important to him. They might have meant the most to him and especially since that one of the hangings involved a young child it might mean a lot to him
ReplyDeleteElie only wrote about two because there were only 2 where the hangings were either relevant or they were more brutal or memorable than the others. Like the one where the guy got hung and he didn't die for a while because he was too light for the gallows to work.
ReplyDeleteThose 2 hangings probably impacted him the most than the other hangings
ReplyDeleteOne the the hangings one of the kids was just hanging on to death and people were talking about giving up hope of God and there he on the hanging place. i think these were the most important.
ReplyDeleteI think that he chose those two because he either knew those people or the hangings were memorable, such as the kid who was hanging there alive for a half hour
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is that Elie was just stunned and left in total shock by those two certain hangings. Being a witness of something like that can permanently scar ones mind. Just reading of the incident of the boy who was struggling to enter his own death because he wasn't heavy enough even tugged at my heart. These types of memories have clung onto Elie and are just casually haunting him for the rest of his life.
ReplyDeleteI Think he wrote about these two hangings because I think these two hangs had impacted him the most. In the first hanging i think he was talking about the first hanging that he had seen and wrote about how tragic it was.I think the second hanging was the most tragic hanging that Ellie has seen because there was two men and one child that was put to be hanged.Ellie could see how scared the child was to be hanged and having to wait there for his slow death.
ReplyDeleteThese two hanging might have triggered some sort of deeply saddened feelings he had. The hangings could have been the most gruesome and dramatic for Elie as well.
ReplyDeleteI think he wrote about those to hangings because one of the hangings he witnessed was the first one he ever saw. The other reason I think he wrote about those certain hangings was because it was on of the most tragic hanging he saw and it scarred him.
ReplyDeleteEliezer describes these two probably because they were the most unique for him, and caught his eye at the moment. One was the first hanging, which would impact almost anyone who would witness it, and the second a child was involved.
ReplyDeleteshut up?
DeleteUp yours bruh
Delete47-63 the hangings that Elie saw at Auschwitz must have been the hardest to watch. These hangings must have sent the most fear and meaning to Elie compared to the others. These hangings were a message representation of fear a no hope to the prisoners.
ReplyDelete5. When Elie witnessed these deaths he explains in his book I think he was showing how cruel and unjustly the place was. Elie most likely explained these specific deaths because they impacted him most, they hit him the hardest. That there was no humanity in that camp.
ReplyDeleteThe author chose to write only about two probably because those two hangings had the most impact on him. They must be the most brutal and the hardest to watch. Especially, the little child, who was struggling painfully and slowly between life and death. He couldn't believe that the Germans would hang a child publicly. It would be the most memorable hanging. Elie thought the little boy represented their God and perhaps was it a sign of God showing that he was giving up on them ? The prisoners were also frightened by that though
ReplyDeleteHe described the hanging which had the biggest impact on him. Which he probably believed was most cruel. One of the hangings was about the little kid that died slowly and the big effect it had on the camp.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why Elie chose to share the story of those two hangings was because all the others were not to influential to Elie but those two he did talk about was very traumatic to him and he felt he had to share the hangings that impacted him in such a way. He shared those stories because it wasn’t like the rest of the hangings those hangings made him feel hard emotions that other people can’t express.
ReplyDeleteElie describes two hangings, and only these two because they impacted him the most. They left an image in his mind that he probably never forgot. By describing these two hangings, one of a little boy, he is explaining the real horror that the Germans were. He is trying to get accross the disasters that really happened and share these things with his readers. If it left a great impact on him, surely others were affected too. He just lived through it to share it with the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteElie only described two hangings probably because it impacted him the most. For example, a young boy known as the little servant, was being hanged and was fighting for his life. Because of the young boy struggling between life and death, and he was really terified, scared but it did not stop from sharing his book to the rest of the world
ReplyDelete5. Among people that were hanged was a little child. From the book we can found that he was very nice, kind and brave. He did not do anything wrong, however he was killed by officers. Prisoners were required to watch that process (Officials tried to scare them).All men died very quickly but child was still alive, he was red. For about half of hour he was between Paradise and our world. His death was very painful and long. Elie could not watch that. Why children die in so painful way? Why it is not just a dream? And at that a moment people started to ask: “Where is a God?” And other answered: “God is here, hanging in front of us.”
ReplyDelete: I believe he described the ones that really struck him. Especially the little boy, because the boy didn’t die right away and was left hanging there to die, and everyone had to look him in the eye. I believe it was different to him because he saw this little boy’s life being taken in slow time, so he was suffering, and I can imagine why he’d be scarred from that.
ReplyDeletei think he only talked about these 2 hangings because they impacted him the most. like the little boy that was still alive after half hour of being hung and was struggling for life. elie was also showing the readers how cruel the Nazis were.
ReplyDeleteEllie decided to write in his book about the two hangings at the Concentration camp because it had a great impact on Ellie's life and scarring him , no matter what age you were you were going to be punished at the concentration camp. Among those people was a little servant boy being hanged and having a slow painful death since he was too light for the gallows. In that sorrowful event the prisoners at the concentration began to question the existence of God and why God permit all this pain and suffering among his own people.
ReplyDeleteHe chose the hangings of the little boy because it shows how brutal the nazi actually were, they would hang a young child in front of everyone, and during his hanging he suffered because his feet couldn’t touch the ground, and the prisoners were required to watch a thirteen year old boy hung in front of thousands of people, in a slow agonizing death. He chose this one because it captures just how ruthless the nazi actually were
ReplyDeleteI think Eliezer wanted to talk about and describe the most cruel and impactful hangings. I think he wanted to talk about the most impactful hangings because it was burned into his mind and because they experienced a really harsh death like the kid he talked about dying a slow painful death unlike the others.
ReplyDelete• I believe he chose to write about these two specific hangings because they impacted him the most. He was forced to watch these two individuals be hung, one a little boy. And just reading about this little boy being hung impacted me so I can’t even imagine being him and having to watch it in real life, right in front of your face. I’m sure he saw thousands of others but for him these are the ones that he’d never forget because of how they impacted him.
ReplyDeleteI think that he only described certain hangings because they hit more at home than the others because of different reasons, such as the ages of those being hung. Like the little 13 year old boy, I think he descried this one in great detail because they were so close in age and he could picture that happening to himself.
ReplyDeleteElie probably wrote about only two hangings and not twenty, because they were the ones that made the biggest impacts on his life and the lives around him in that prison. He explained one boy who was hanged as angelic. Beautiful in voice and in face. He explained that the boy fell, but he weighted to little to snap his neck instantly. So he stayed hanging for thirty or so minutes.Struggling between life and death. It was a sad day, even though every day was sad in Elie's life, this day had an exception. This day was the day the soup tasted like dead corpses. No hope.
ReplyDeleteThe two hangings were two very different scenarios. One was about an old man who committed a crime. Elie showed in the book that he did not care much at the time, about that hanging. The people inside the camps were so accustomed to death that it was no big deal for them. The other hanging, on the other hand was very important. This hanging consisted of a boy who was described as an angle in distress. Elie felt terrible for the kid as did everyone else. Also the kid did not die right away during the hanging, he was not heavy enough so he slowly choked to death.
ReplyDeleteThe two hanging varied from the other. One of the hangings was because an old man committed a crime. The second hanging was about a boy. When they were both hanged the man died right way but the boy did not. When people saw this they saw that God was living in the little boy. This gave them a little hope for God, right as they were starting to doubt him. This was important to the prisoners because it taught them that they cant doubt God, and not to commit any crimes.
ReplyDeleteThe two hangings described were quite opposites. One was an old man who no one really cared about. The jews had seen so much death in the camps that the old man was no surprise. The second hanging was very different. The Nazis hung a young boy, and he was so light that his neck did not snap. The jews had to stand and watch as the boy was strangled to death. This hanging was the point where elie really lost faith in his God.
ReplyDeletehe put/talked about two hangings because the people that got hanged cared about him and his future and tryed to help him out u guess so he looked up for them and thought it would be kind if he mentioned them.
ReplyDeleteThese two hanging were most likely the ones that stuck out to him the most, the ones that showed the most emotion the man who brought power to the prisoners a strong man who died a strong man and the boy who should have never been in that camp the stories were what showed us what the Nazis did how unfair it was and how horrible it was.
ReplyDeleteThese two hangings really effected Ellie because seeing the man getting killed who was fighting for the right things and trying to free them by collecting weapons. The little by being hung also really bothered him because it was just a little boy being killed. The fact the he was so light that his body weight didnt kill him quickly so he was just dangling there strangling to death for 30 mins. All of the prisoners in the camp had to watch until he passed.
ReplyDeletei think he chose to tell about these two hanging because they were people who were close to him. they differ because they were alot worse then the others
ReplyDeleteI think that he told about only two hangings because they meant a lot for him. And they were different from others maybe because they were really emotional. And maybe the two hangings were the people who Elie knew.
ReplyDeleteBecause one of the people being hanged was a little boy. It just got to him that a innocent little boy has to be hanged, and the fact that he lost faith in God. He just kept wondering, where is God when an innocent little boy is being hanged
ReplyDeleteI feel like Elie only talked about a couple of the hangings in Auschwitz because those were the ones that really impacted him and he remembers those the most.The hangings there were pretty gruesome so it would make sense that most of them were too painful to talk about.
ReplyDeleteI think that Elie chose to write about only these two hangings because they meant more to him than the others. Seeing a little kid being hanged really terrified Elie because the little boy was fighting for his life, it took a while for him to die. A horrific scene, watching a little kid struggling between life and death and there was nothing you could do about it but watch. Witnessing that really made Elie think about so many different things.
ReplyDeleteI think the reason for that is cause these had more meaning to him than the other ones he had seen and he saw a little kid been hung in front of him so that was horrifying for him to see and the kid was fighting for his life and the kid didn't die right away and so that was a scary scene to see for him and he couldn't do anything about the kids death and he could only watch it and seeing that he thought about a lot of different things.
ReplyDeletethey are the only ones with meaning they show that anyone that wrongs there can be killed nobody is safe
ReplyDeleteHe described a little kid’s death. The little kid described was considered “angelic”. The poor boy was hung an yet the impact couldn’t kill him instantly like the rest of the crowed would guess. The boy’s neck did not break an had to suffer from a slow painful death.
ReplyDeleteThe two hangings were the one's that he could remember with the most detail. the little boy who was hung but didn't die until slow suffocation due to his neck not breaking was described as angelic by the author. the author was probably more impacted by this hanging because the boy was closer to his age then the other men whom were not as innocent as him and the boy who was hung.
