What matters most to Eli at this time? Explain using textual evidence. Chapter 4

The most important thing to Eliezer is to avoid abuse and eat. His gold crown is valuable, and he intends to sell it himself..... not to have it taken away. Sadly, he does not succeed.

And because you made me wait, it will also cost you a ration of bread. A ration of bread for one of my pals, a famous dentist from Warsaw. To pay him for pulling out your crown."

"What? My ration of bread so that you can have my crown?" Franek smiled. "What would you like? That I break your teeth by smashing your face?"
That evening, in the latrines, the dentist from Warsaw pulled my crown with the help of a rusty spoon.
Franek became pleasant again. From time to time, he even gave me extra soup. But it didn't last long. Two weeks later, all
the Poles were transferred to another camp. I had lost my crown for nothing.
