Empathy Map 2 - Elie aged 16, at the end of the war
We completed a second Empathy Map looking at what Elie was like at the end of the war. Elie was hollow and just done with everything. When he got out he only wanted food and with his father dead he didn't really have anything else. It was pretty sad reading what happened to him but even sadder knowing it happened to millions of others too.
It makes me see that if people are fed enough propaganda and told enough that something is true the majority will believe it. I didn't really feel hope at any point in the story. The most important message of Night is that you should never trust too much in anything. Always do your research and critically think before coming to a decision so you aren't misinformed.
Hi Cliff
ReplyDeleteWhat good advice! We should always do our research and think critically when reading or listening to any information nowadays. It's so easy for anyone to publish information online and they could have made it all up. Recently one of the protesters at parliament, said that police had lite the fires which wasn't the case at all, it was some of the protesters. However, that wasn't verified until a day or so later, by then a lot of people had seen her post on Instagram and believed her.
Have you got any tips to help readers decide if something is true or false?
