How can you relate it to a time in your own life?
What is the ultimate freedom according to Frankl?
Frankl writes, “Strangely enough, a blow which does not even find its mark can, under certain circumstances, hurt more than one that finds its mark” (24). Explain this in context of the story, and then draw an example from your own life.
What were the phase 1 reactions following admission into the concentration camp scene? What were the phase 2 reactions to being well-entrenched in the concentration camp routine? What were the phase 3 reactions to being released and liberated from a concentration camp? Explain your understanding of the gradual shift in reactions.
Frankl makes an analogy to suffering as gas on page 44. What is he saying here? Paraphrase this by way of the sandwich method. Is there anything that surprises you about this?
