Our English class is studing the memoir Night, by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel.
I worked in a group with Harriet, Kyra and Lee to create an Empathy Map for Elie at this age.
This is my groups Empathy map:
This is my paragraph that I wrote about him at age 12 before the holocaust started: At the start of the book, Elie is living in Sighet, Transylvania. He was 12 years old. He was very observant and would go to the synagogue and pray and weep. He was very Happy and had a great life. He had a mum and dad. His dad was a cultured man, rather unsentimental, he rarely displayed his feelings, not even within his family and was more involved with the welfare of others than with that of his own kin. Elie has three siblings, Hilda the eldest, then Bea, Elie was the third and the only son. Lastly Tzipora the youngest. His parents ran a store.
This Elie at aged 12:
