Consider
the concept ofdehumanization. How was
Elie able to effectively explain what happened to himusing this concept? Explain your thoughts upon learning about
this process for the first time.
Elie effectively explains what happens to him with the term by using figurative language . The hyperbolic phrases used within the text create a negative reaction from the reader . For example , " my heart was about to burst .there i was face - to - face with angel of death"In this quote Elie was exaggerating the distress he was feeling . The dehumanization in the concept is shown here because Elie is only only slightly exaggerating the true acts of dehumanization. My thoughts upon learning about this process at first is that it makes the story a better read and also allows me as the reader to understand the hurt that Elie went through. As a reader you the term dehumanization becomes more clear to you as you hear the Elie tell his story. I believe that this process is really for the reader to learn how to understand to the pain Elie Wiesel went through and also the feeling of what its like to be dehumanized.
Elie effectively explains what happened to him by using dehumanization because it developed the story better when explaining the horrible evens he endured. Throughout the Holocaust, Hitler targeted anyone that was different from the "master race". Whether they were gay, Jewish, red headed, etc. Although they may have had some different features, they were treated different and had their rights taken from them. The use of dehumanization lets the reader see how they were mistreated since Elie didn't put his personal opinions in the story. My thoughts upon learning about this process for the first time is that it benefits the story by making it more uniformed. since Elie didn't include his personal opinions when explaining situations, it gives me and other readers a better understanding of how the Holocaust actually occurred.
Elie was able to effectively explain what he experienced using the dehumanization concept because he gradually gave the reader a picture or image of what he felt and saw; he let the reader into his world, and we read how he changed from a religious young boy to a very close and almost dehumanized boy. My first thought when I was writing my notes for dehumanization is that I doubted that anything or anyone can make them no longer human, not in a you're now an animal kind of way, but mentally; I really didn't want to believe that someone can be dehumanized. But then I thought about what dehumanization is and I then I knew that this had happened to the Jews that had lived through the Holocaust.It gave me a greater understanding to why Hitler did all of those things and made all those laws before he moved them into the camps, he wanted to break them to the point where putting them in the camps would completely dehumanize them. Hitler had really thought out his plan to exterminate the Jews, make them no longer act as humans so it seems to others who heard or watched what they turned into feel like they had right to be exterminated
Elie was able to explain how dehumanization affected him and his people. He was able to do so by using a lot of literary devices one being a hyperbole. My thoughts about dehumanization were that t happens to people all the time. Dehumanization has been around for many years and I think will never go away due to the fact that as long as there is man one will always think they are better than the other. Eile talked about how the German men were throwing bread into the cars as a joke and they kept doing it. What they didn’t know is that it could have easily have been them that was being laughed at and made a joke of. Sometimes people do this just because it makes them feel like they are better than someone else or have more power than them. When I first learned about dehumanization I was able to put so many things I’ve seen over the years and now I understand what it is. I always knew it was there but never knew what it was called and what it meant. The idea of dehumanization has always been there and will always be there. I feel like dehumanization is sometimes intentional but sometimes I feel like it just happens. Dehumanization is something I think should stop because people need to be treated the same no matter whom they are or were they are from.
