The Periodic Table Reflection

The Periodic Table was a rather good book but confusing. I like chemistry and all but he likes it a little too much. The Periodic Table was an autobiography on the life experiences of Primo Levi even though he went through the tragic events of the world famous concentration camp Auschwitz. He was a Jewish-Italian that was captured and sent to Auschwitz. The Periodic Table told the experiences of his life through each book being named after chemical elements. It was really cool how he tied the book titles into chemical elements because he was a chemist before he was captured. The book was rather hard to understand. Levi used many big words that I had to look up just have some clue what he was talking about. The first chapter was a blur because of the Hebrew language type writing. After the first chapter, things began to become easier to understand. Levi seemed to be good man because he was never ashamed of the mistakes he made as a chemist. He had good determination to do well and fix his mistakes. He was not afraid to communicate with his mentor when he experienced an explosion in the lab. If I would have gone through the things he went through, I would probably be very kept to my self and would not want to tell anyone anything about me or my life. Levi was not this way. He saw the good things in life such as his trips to Alps. He loved chemistry and really found a way to tie it in his stories.
