Our English class is studying the memoir Night, by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. I worked in a group with Olivia, Lee and Kyra to create an empathy map for Elie at this age.
This is my group's 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 and had a pretty good/normal life. He was very observant and would go to the synagogue to pray and weep everyday. He was happy and lived a nice life. He had a Mum and a Dad. His father was a cultured man, rather unsentimental. He rarely showed his feeeling and was more involved with the welfare of others than his own family. Elie was the third child. He had two older sisters and one younger sister. His oldest sister was named Hilda, then Bea and the youngest was Tzipora.
This is Elie at age 12
