4) Describe the setting of this chapter.
The setting of the story is about 1940 during WWII in Budapest, Hungary. Jews had to use a yellow star in the chest during the Holocaust to differ from non-jewish people. Gyuri's dad is about to leave to labor camps (concentration camps).
Gyuri's Mind
1) Gyuri still havn't perceived what is going on, allways focusing his mind in positive things, avoiding negative scenes, always cheering himself up.
2) Today, 13 aged children usually like to speak about sports, technology advances, video-games, and many other themes that move masses today. They see they joy in a material way, aiming to achieve and adquire more and more.
3) The way he presents the world seem to be a kid's point of view, he aims for the good aspects of the worst things he can see, really optimistic way of thinking.(Maybe that is the main reason why he survives to the Holocaust).
4) Its not reliable because at his short life and the low participation he has in the society, he just can percieve the positive or external layer of everything that he see, he still doesn't take part of the Holocaust events.

Listening activity: Imre Kertesz Interview
1) The united state's artist tried to represent with the 2000 stone blocks the vulnerability of the jewish community surrounded by the unstoppable nazi party in the concentration camp. Every stone obstructs the visión of the person that passes through them so you can feel somehow the lonelyness of the jewish people in the German camps.
2) Imre says that the country that once took him off his family, harassed him for years , now is better and comfortant (in a freedom sense) tan where he lived before the camps.
3)There is neraly no difference between the past and present of the antisemitism. In the past, they wanted to eliminate the jews and any other culture that differed from the arian. Now days, the antisemitism wants a second Holocaus.
4)They help us to comprehend and understand the deeds of the human race in controvertial scenarios, and the biggest benefit and what makes us much richer is the fact that they help us to avoid the mistakes of our ancestors.
5) The real meaning of the metaphor is that while the people read the book they create in their minds a scene of the Holocaust and with the words "it knocks from inside" he means that we are unable to avoid thinking and creating conscious of what has been done in that time even if we try to block those feelings.

WritingTask: Letter to my father, Fatelessness (Classmate)
Dear father,
It have been 45 days since I am in the camp. I am writing to you to let you know how much I love you and how much I want to see you again. I am not sure if that would be possible given the circumstances. I can barely survive, the food I recieve is not suficient and I have to trade with another interns to get some extra food. I feel dirty, I am hungry, I don't know what is going to happen to me. They force us to work hard every day and they don't care about my recent wound in my knee. I can barely walk and I feel they are doing this just for punishing us, but I do not have an idea of why are they doing this. They treat us like animal, yesterday one of the german guards punch me on the face without any reason.
I met another prisoner(yes, we are prisoner) who is from Budapest, and he miss home just as much as I do. He helps me a lot dealing with this and carrying on, making me think in something different than sorviving, because that is my priority right now. But with the time I am getting tired of this and I am thinking on giving up...I feel hopeless.
What do you think father, will they kill me like they do in another camps? Will they release some day? Please answer me back and tell me you are ok.
Yours faithfully,
Gyuri.

Writing Task: Letter to my son, Gyuri
Dear Gyuri,
It took me a lot of effort to be able to send you this letter so keep it and read it carefully because it can be the last on. I've been told that you were taken off the bus and now you are in a CC just like me, well the situation here is not much better than yours. It has been just 1 month since I left Budapest and It feels like hell, no water, awful soups, undrinkable coffee, and no one to trust. This way I believed from the first second that this camps are only meant to get rid of us, jewish people. A truck passed by with loads of other guys corposes. I'm scared Gyuri. Maybe I wont be able to be back home. Maybe you could not be able to get back to Budapest. I don't know what to think with this people harrassing us every day, every night, every second of the day. The only thing I can tell you with this letter is a few tip to survive a few weeks more than the rest: never exchange food for anything in the world, always keep a piece of bread in you pockets (you will never know when they will stop feeding you), try to find between the formation rows someone you can trust in and able to help you, and finally, YOU MUST RATION EVERY FOOD AND WATER THEY GIVE YOU, AND NEVER MISS THE WASHING TIME.
I hope to see you back in Budapest,
miss you much
your father.
