98-end

In the beginning of this section, Eli and his father were crammed in a bitter cold train. Elie's father shows no response, and was thought to be dead for a little while. Eli himself felt no reason to live or fight to live. The SS guards started throw all of the dead corpses outside the train. They almost threw Elie's dad, but Eli kept hitting his dad so he would wake up. He woe up and told the guards not to take him off. People in the train fought for bread, their only food. They would fight to the death because the people were so hungry. It is crazy that the animal in us comes out in extreme situations. That situation reminded Eli a few years later of two boys fighting over water.

Eli's dad tells a fellow friend, Meir Katz not t give and to have faith, after his spirirt was lost and he thought he was to weak. They few survive the treacherous voyage now entering another camp. Eli's father feels he has no strenghth and feels he can't go anylonger because he is so tired. Eli says "Father! Get up! Right Now! You will kill yourself!" Eli loses his father and when he evenually finds him his father seemed to be sick with a fever. Eli says that everyday his father was getting weaker. Eli takes his father to a doctor. Eli helps his father out feeding him and bringihn him water. Eli later finds that Eli's father was taken to he creamatorium and burned, killed leaving Eli by himself.
Finally Eli and other prisoners were set free. After Eli was freed he became sic and was in the hosipital for 2 weeks. After we is better Eli looks in a mirror it was like he couldn't reconzie his own self. He said he looked like a courpse.

I liked this boo overall . It was vert dramatic and sad, infact on of the saddest books i have ever read! Eli was strong and the fact that he his in the right mind to write book and also win a nobel peace prize still amazmes after going through all of this. In this last Chapter he watched his dad become sic, and then be killed. I would fell very sad, to the point of going insane if this had to happen to me.

85-96

this Chapter starts out with Eli continuing running. He meets a young boy while running named Zalman who was made fun of because he wouldnt stop praying. Zalman started having extreme stomach cramps, which hesitated his running. he said his stomahc was bursting and then he feel to the ground. Eli believed that he had died. Eli felt better knowing his father was right next to him running with eli. Eli says he move dlike a sleepwalker. he fell asleep running and later he woke up by being hit brutally while running.

Elie tries to fall asleep in the snow. His father stops him and says "It is dangerous to fallasleep in the snow. One falls asleep forver. Eli felt it was a warm blanket on him. Eli says that being in the bittering snowing was like a dance with seath. They find a shed and Eli father says he can go to sleep because he would watch over him. They meet up with Rabb Eliahu, the only Rabbi in Buma. He had lost his son. Eli prays that he will not be like the Rabbi's son seprated from the bunch.

Eli says his foot no longer hurt no more. He says that it had either been cut off or had just frozen i do not know which. Eli found Juliek, a vilolinist who he met earlier in the story. He played a beetoven peice that made Eli cringe throughout his life amytime he heard Beetoven. The people on the the run ate two things, bread and snow. Then the SS soilders shoved them into a car. Eli says everyone was so skinny.

This chapter was suspensful with all the drama going on. Eli was running on the verge of hus life. He said he didnt want to die. Having to go through all of this and running for your life with people dying everywhere, and having a hurt foot would make me just want to die. I can't believe how strong Eli was.

chapter 5

The Chapter starts with one the eve of the Jewish New Year Rosh Hashanah. Elie calls it a cured year in the book. The story says that there was soup served that night that no one touched.

Eli pray says prayer to God, asking him why he is letting this happen. Eli felt that he was terribly alone without God.

It was Yom Kippur and Eli asked himslef if he should fast or not. Eli felt that it was Yom Kipur all year long.

The SS Doctors were to examine Eli and two others named Yossi, Tibi. Yossi and Tibi passed but Eli worried that he was too skinny, too weak and he would be burned in the ovens. It turned out that they didn't examine Eli. Eli finds out that his father though was weak and he would be killed. Eli finds out later that his ftaher survied but a man named Akiba Drumer was killed. Eli in the winter time hurts his foot. The SS soilders evacuated the building because they though the Russians were going to come. Eli is left in the snow with his foot bleeding.

It is freighting to think that you have to worry about your own life be taken away when your about to be examined. even more you might pass but then you have to worry about a close friend or family member being killed. I still don't know how Eli can still be sane after having to go through all of this.

Night blog chapter 4

in the beginning of this Chapter Eli is sent to another tent and his leader is a fat German man. The next day he has to go through a check up. There was a dentist whose job was not to check the people's teeth but to check if they had a gold crown. Eli had one. Eli was grouped up with Jewish musicians. They hummed some Hebrew songs sort of like how African slaves hummed songs when they worked. Eli is told to go see a dentist who ironically has rotten teeth. He tells Eli that he is going to remove he golden crown. Eli fakes being sick and the man tells him, he will see him when he feels better.
Eli was whipped. He said "I no longer felt anything except the lashes of the whip. The pain must of been excruciating. he was whipped 25 times and then he was doused with cold water. A man who dared the SS officer was killed and at the same time someone yells that "they're bombing Buna factory. Eli says that he was not afraid when this was going on. Eli is upset when a boy was sent up to the gallows. he said he has seen much killings in Auschwitz and Birkenau in the crematoria but a hanging was different. They hanged may even children. Eli describes of they time that a child was still moving and breathing even after the chairs tipped over. Eli says that night tasted like corpses.

Chapter 3

This chapter starts right when everyone arrives to the concentration camp and SS man orders all of the Jews to separate, women to the right men to left. An inmate tells Eli not to tell his real age to the SS officer. The man tells him to say he is eighteen and not fifteen. The man also tells Eli's dad not to tell him he is 50 but tell him he is 40. The SS man seems to treat the people horribly, giving them commands and verbal abusing them. The SS guard yells to them " You will be burned!
Burned to a cinder! Turned into ashes!" They heard whispers of revolt being muttered through the prisoners voices.

When the SS man asks how old Eli is, Eli listens to the man and says he is 18. The SS man then yells to the group of men that they were heading to the crematorium. Eli saw through his own eyes children being thrown into the crematorium. Eli says he rather die by being electrocuted by the barb wire than be thrown into the crematorium. Eli walks to what he believes is his death. He recites a prayer for the dead that he would only thought he recite for someone else's death, not his own death. He counts the footsteps until his death. A poem from the forward is in this chapter. Eli ended up not dieing in the crematorium. Eli's head is shaved and he is told to put on a outfit for the sole purpose to look like everyone else. An SS officer gave an introduction to the camp he said if you don' work you will be killed. Eli's dad asks were the toilets were. He was then hit by a Gypsy man. Eli was shocked but did not blink. The SS men were armed with machine guns and had dogs

The Jews had to have black coffee and a midday soup everyday. Eli was tatooted a name A-7713. He runs into a guy from his neighborhood names Stein.

The reconditions at the concentration camp are horrible. They men are treated like dirt. People are killed right in front of their eyes. They are given no much to eat and there identity is taken away. The motif 'night" seems to come up, like nightmares. It is horrible that people are recting a prayer for their own death. These are the worst conditions.

Chapter 2

In this Chapter there in a continues the travel inside the dreadful cattle car. There wasn't much food on the trip and pieces of bread throw to them. A Hungarian officer said the put 80 people in that crammed Cattle Car. The man says if anyone was missing they would be shot like dogs. Eli says it was like a trap and world was sealed from him.

Eli notices that a women he knew named Mrs. Schachter was in the car separated from her family. She seems to go crazy and yells "Fire! Fire! I see Fire! She screams this many times throughout this chapter. People thought she was possessed because she kept on repeating it. She is hit after she screams Fire a 5th time. Soon they arrive at Auschwitz which no one had heard of at that time
The women yells fire again and this time everyone has saw it. The trained stopped and they all saw flames. An officer yells everyone out and immediately everyone smells the flames, the flames of the burning of bodies.

I can't imagine how being in a Cattle Cage with 80 people must of been like. Eli shows how the Jews were treated so wrongly already no even being at the concentration camps yet. There isn't alot of food and on top of that there is a women screaming on the top of her lungs fire. These are the worst conditions you can be in. People were probably literately on top of people in these cars. The worst part at the end of the chapter it says they smelled the the burning of human flesh, i don't know how any one could be in the right mind after experiencing all this, and this was just the beginning.

Preface foward

The preface talks about how if Eli Wiesel were only to write one book this one would be it. He rhetorically asks the reader question of why he wrote the story. One was "Did i write it so as not to go mad or, on the contrary to go mad in order to understand the nature of madness, the immense, terrifying madness that had erupted in history and in the conscience of mankind? He talks about why he wrote the story and a little bit of history of the holocaust.

The Foward is by Francois Mauriac. He talks about the cattle cars filled with jewish children and how horrible the concentration maps were. He talks about the Dairy of Anne Frank.

There is a poem wrote my the man and uses the repeption of the word Never throughout it.
