Fire Symbolized


I believe that the fire she is seeing symbolizes the horrible things that are to come. It is possible that she has a feeling that bad things will happen and once she starts seeing the flames I feel she is so histerical from being separated from her family the only way she shows that she was scared was by yelling fire.

Foreshadowing

When Moishe comes back to the ghetto, he tells the other jewish people was horrific events he witnessed. this hints that the other jews in the ghetto might have the same fate as the people Moishe talked about.

When the Jews got relocated for the second time, living conditions once again got worse. This could possibly hint at that living conditions could get worse once again the next time they get relocated.

When the jews were cramped into ghettos, it shows the progression of the violation of rights.

When the jewish council leader could not speak about the future it shows that the German's brutality is growing.

Father's face was pale when he found out about the transports.

Father eventually dies as stated in Elie's thoughts.
