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.

  1. Hi jason. I think you did great summary. But, I think you need to be more specific (I think you missed some key facts). Also, I think you missed to put quotes and you opinions about stoy (for example, how you felt about dentist etc). By the way, I liked your summary
