"I'll give you an extra ration of bread and margarine. He was very keen on my shoes; but i did not give them up to him. (Later on they were taken from me just the same. But in exchange for nothing this time)"(46).

Choice of Detail:
Elie didn't want to trade his shoes for bread because they were new and he liked them. But somebody else ended up taking them from him but they did no give him anything in return. Its ironic because he had a chance to give them away or extra food but instead decided not to and the still got taken away.
