Group Reader Response LC#2 Dialectical Journal Practice

Critical Stance:

a.     Dehumanization: The psychological process of demonizing the enemy, making them seem less than human and hence not worthy of humane treatment. This can lead to increased violence, human rights violations, war crimes, and genocide.
b.     Some of the various prisoners have various behaviors in this concentration camp environment. Brothers Yossi and Tibi stuck together like glue. They stood by each other sides through thick and thin. The prison environment didn’t rattle them from their goals. During this time in the camps people understood the lesson of every man for himself. The life of being alone and separated is a must to survive in this type of environment.
c.      When Eliezer first entered the camp he, believed in his religion very greatly and knew the god would help him and his family out of this situation. Putting his faith in the hands of god and having hope that everything will turn out all right. Over the period of being in the camp Eliezer slowly loses his faith in god. He sees that this trust in getting troubling and difficult to hold on too.

Dialectical Journal Entries:
b.
Let’s keep together. We shall be stronger

I wanted to run away, but my legs were glued to the ground. Idek seized me by throat


            c.
This day I had ceased to plead. I was no longer capable of lamentation. On the contrary, I felt very strong. I was the accuser, God the accused.

My eyes were open and I was alone- terribly alone in a world without God and without man. Without love or mercy.
