No Body

Chapter 4 - Struggle for Survival

Quote

"I had watched the whole scene without moving. I kept quiet. In fact i was thinking of how to get my father away so that i would not be hit myself. What is more, any anger i felt at that moment was directed, not against the Kapo, but against my father "(52).

Authors Identity:

Elie's character has changed so much since before coming to Auschwitz. It's as if he has no feelings but anger and he was mad at his father for getting beat up instead of feeling scared. He wants to stay under the radar so he can survive, but he doesn't want his father to die either.
