Connection: Foster(Is That A Symbol)

on pg.170, chapter "The Struggler, Concluded" there is scene in where Max, the jew,first arrives from his dangerous journey on the front porch of leisels family, and in his hands he holds a key, this is where foster comes into play. The key is very symbolic, it sybolizes freedom/enslavement, but in Max's case its freedom from hunger, capture, and the hate of the world. The Arguement "Everyone Deserves Freedom" is clearly supported, when Max began his journey to the house. He travelled miles, on the edge of being captured and the constant tension of not knowing when your going to get cought. In a way he fought for his freedom, and his weapon a key of freedom.
