Elie used literacy tools to reveal his message "Men to the left women to the right! Eight words spoken quietly, indifferently, without emotion... Yet that was the moment when I parted from my mother..."
Elie revealed how family is the last thing you hold on too, he explains in this chapter how he never saw them and shows how he held on to them until he no longer could.

Elie used imagery to reveal his main idea.

"Meir, my little Meir! Don’t you recognize me … You’re killing your father … I have bread … for you too … for you too …"
Meir had killed his father later for a piece of bread, simply because of the worry that his father would not share, they both ended up dying together that day. Over a piece of bread.

Elie used Symbolism to reveal his Idea:
"The only thing that keeps me alive," he kept saying, "is to know that Reizel and the little ones are still alive. Were it not for them, I would give up." This was a quote from chapter 3, Elie describes to the reader how a man the new before they were sent to the camp kept on preserving all because of the hope that his family was still alive.

Elie used other people's life's to reveal the main idea.
Two boys came to join our group: Yossi and Tibi, two brothers from Czechoslovakia whose parents had been exterminated in Birkenau. They lived for each other, body and soul.
Elie had been in desperation to be able to work among his father, and the two kids felt the same.

Elie used motifs in his speech and his novel to help draw a connection to his main idea.

"Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed....Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust."
This was an excerpt from his novel, but I think it correlates higher than just some words, it helps the reader see what really happens that big night and how he later stated his idea and that is central to his message.

All in all, Elie revealed his message through imagery, figurative language, symbolism, and through other people's life's. I feel his idea plays a role in every real life situation like his, although no one had lived how he had, many people died and couldn't tell there story's so I feel it is important to tell his to show people how valuable family is and how valuable life is.
