Elie was just like us, he did not like the idea of being a slave to everything. He did not like being a slave at all. The bell rang and he had to know what was to be done.

Quote: " I could here only the violin, and it was as though Juliek's soul were the bow. He was playing his life. The whole of his life was gliding on the strings his lost hopes, his charred past, his extinguished future. He played as he would never play again."(Wiesel 100).

Analysis: The song that Juliek played, one of Beethoven's sorrowful melodies showed the life of an Innocent boy among Innocent people. The feelings he had at that very moment to have played such a song. Glazing over dead tortured bodies trampled over themselves, gave him such feelings.
