Eliezer's Love and Devotion to His Father

This picture represents the bonding of a son and father.  The little boy holding onto his fathers' finger is related to how Eliezer is with his father.  He holds onto his father, supports him, and fends for him when he can.  He loves his father and refused to let himself die taking his father's point of view into consideration.  He didn't want to leave his father alone. 

Eliezer is bonded with his father.  The way he sees it is that he is the glue to keeping them both alive.  He does what he can to protect his father such as, when he went through the crowd of Jews and snuck his father from the left to the right side to where he won't be killed.  He wants to stay with his father which is understandable in the situation they are in.  I wouldn't want to be alone either.
