EASY POINTS 50 POINTS. Review Elie's thinking during the march: "We were the masters of nature, the masters of the world. We had transcended everything - death, fatigue, our natural needs. We were stronger than cold and hunger, stronger than

Does the tone of this quotation seem hopeful or hopeless? Why? What do you think Elle is trying to say has
happened to the men mentally as a result of their experiences in the camps?

I think it's hopeful because Elie says that they are stronger than all those things that bring humanity down. They are stronger than the tragedies and cruelties of the world. She's trying to say that no matter what they went through, they will always remain strong and resilient, no matter what anyone throws at them.

I hope that helps! Good luck!
