This photo represents the bond that a father and son have. No matter what they will be there for each other, for love and companionship. In the novel Elie's love for his father is strong. I think that he learns to love his father a little more throughout it though. Everyone around them are showing that their survival skills are more important than family. There were three different times in the novel that three sons abandoned their fathers to survive, but Elie and his father keep together until the end. Elie even feeds his father his ration of bread and soup when he's sick.
