This week we analysed chapter 3 from the book,and the task was to choose three quotes that called our attention. to analysed the quotes we must use PEE structure.
1. As the book says, Jewish people, during the Holocaust, were treated like animals. "...he turn toward the gendarmes, ordering them, in a bellow that filled the entire square, to take "the whole Jewish rabble" off the place that, in his view, they actually belonged-the stables,that is to say-and lock them in for the night."(p.57) Her is very clear how the Nazis treated Jewish people, as they locked them so they don't scape.
2. The Holocaust take Jewish people to an awful economic situation, as they were forced tom save money and changing basic needs for other things. "... I once asked him what he found so great about smoking so much, to which he gave the curt to reply, "It's cheaper than food". I was slightly take aback, since such a reason would never had occurred to me."(p.42) We can see here that they changed food, a basic need, with cigars. That's a very desperate solution and is not rational, as the satisfaction that generates smoking doesn't replace the necessity of eating.
3. The protagonist, until this point, hasn't realized what is really happening to him, he is very innocent, although he has experienced a sort of evolution wit the departure of his father. "They led us into a maze of grey buildings, before we suddenly debouched onto (...) some sort of barracks parade ground." (p.56) As we can see here, Georg describes what he sees, but he has not idea of where he is or what is happening. And the description of the place is very childish "... maze of grey buildings...".
