IN-TEXT QUESTIONS:

How does Rabbi Eliahou and his son create a foreshadow for Elie’s future?

The son of the Rabbi abandoned his father because he thought that he was too weak and didn't want to worry about the Rabbi affecting his chances of living any longer, so he disappeared into the crowd. This frightens Elie because he never wants to do as this boy has done to his own father. But its possible that in the willingness to survive Elie himself might have to do a similar thing in the near future.

SHORT ANSWER QUESTION

What does Juliek symbolize in the book “Night”?

Juliek was a symbol of stability. Even thou he was on the bridge between life and death, he still cherished his violin, the only thing he had left from his old life.
