Make a connection between Elie (in chapter 3) and Ms. Schachter’s son (from chapter 2).

A fifty-year-old woman named Madamae Schaechter is on the train with her ten-year-old son. She had been separated from her husband and two older sons earlier and is now beginning to lose her mind. Elie also has been separated from his family. Elie too has an elderly and frail parent.
