Alot of children during the Holocaust were very scared of course who wouldnt be. Most of the children had to be terrified because their families were being taken and they were all split up, like Elie’s family. he never got to see his mother nor sister again. The kids had to hide in abandoned houses or dirty old sewers to try and hide from the Nazis’.. Elie, like most kids had to make sure he got his soup and bread everyday because they have to eat as much as possible with all the hard work the Nazis’ made them do as if they werent starving enough. Everyone had to fight on their own to survive because their families were either seperated or died already from starvation or the Nazis, killed them. In Night Elie had to go through his father dying from getting sick, he tried to help him but after people told him he realized that he had to help himself survive. Most of the people and families died that way from being sick because of the harsh conditions of how the Nazis’ treated them in the concration camps. But alot of people in hiding died of sickness to because of course a sewer is gross and discusting and could carry alot of dieseases and bacteria.

My ideal home would be a nice big but not to big house in Florida. Hopefully with my husband and 2 kids. I image it to have a garage to park our cars. A cool pool with a slide out back and an indoor pool with a hot tub. I also would like a roof kinda balcony for my kids. I always dreamed of having a theater room and game room a place for my children and their friends to have fun. My house will definitely need a big backyard so that i can have bbq’s, pool parties. Lastly i want a sports room in my house like a basketball court or something but that depends on what my kids like when they grow up.
1. The king sat across from where the tiger or lady came out. He sat right above where the man being acussed came out.
2. The tiger did not come out the same door every trail. They changed the tiger each time so that they never knew what to expect.
3. The princess didn’t like the lady assigned to her lover because the princess knew the lady behind the door liked the man and the princess hated her because she saw the glances they shared.
4. She raised, and made a slight quick movement toward the right.
5. Her first dream she was startled by the thought of her lover opening the door on the other side which waited the cruel tiger. More often she had dreams about her lover marrying the lady behind the other door and they fall in love.
6. Yes, because he knew she knew what was behind both doors.
7. Because they were communicating by looking at each other, and everyone was looking at the guy anyways.
8. The king’s arena was big with seats all round for everyone to sit and watch, with big doors where either the lady or the tiger came out.
9. The princess had a difficult decision deciding, because she doesn’t want her lover to die but she doesn’t want to see her lover get married to someone else.
10. I don’t think the women committed crimes back than and even if they did I don’t think they done anything about it.
11. If I personally were the princess I would have choosen the girl behind the door because even if it hurt me to see my lover marry another girl I always know that the man loved me and deep down inside he still will.
12. Now if i was the lover I’d rather get the door of the tiger because I wouldn’t want to see my lover be hurt with me marrying another guy.
13. I agree with the king’s method because I go by the quote “people get what they deserve”.
Quote “Work is Liberty”
Reaction: I think that this quote is kinda ironic, because they are making the Jews work so hard, but even when they are working hard it’s not good enough. Liberty is suppose to mean free but they are not even close to being free. They can’t do anything on their own, they always get told what to do.
Quote “I was putting one foot in front of the other mechanically. I was dragging with me this skeletal body which weighed so much…”
Reaction: I feel really bad for Elie and the Jews because the Nazis’ are making them run so much that Elie’s body is starting to go numb. No matter what he could not stop running , he was running for his life and if he started to go to slow they would get yelled at to run faster. They were all literally running for their lives.
Quote “Faster! Faster! Get on with it, you lazy swine!”
Reaction: This mad me sad and angry. The Jews were giving all they could in running just to live while a bunch of people were falling down and clapsing all around them and they had to just run on top of them like they were little bugs. It made me angry because the Nazis’ wouldn’t be able to do all that running and it’s so unfair and they don’t even get feed enough to be running like that.
Quote “”At my side marched a young Polish lad called Zalman. He had been working in the electrical warehouse at Buna. They had laughed at him because he was always praying or meditating on some problem of the Talmud.”
Reaction: I felt bad for the Zalman because everyone was making fun of him just for being different. Everyone in the camps are their just because they are different so I think it’s messed up to make fun of him. They should know how it feels being different. Also if i was in his shoes i would definitely be praying for everyday that i make it though.
Quote “He took his time between each stroke. only the first ones really hurt me. I could hear him count.”
Reaction: I think that is so sad because he did nothing to deserve that! As I was reading this I could almost actually feel it. They beat him so bad that he fainted no one should be treated like that for something like that.
Quote ““The look in his eyes, as they stared into mine, has never left me”
Reaction: I found this quote interesting because he says this while he is looking in a mirror. I don’t exactly understand what he meant by that but I think he means that before he went to conentration camp he looked so different than he does now and he’s just so shocked by it.
1. I think they hung people instead of burn them because. they wanted to scare the Jews.
2. In the beginning of the book Elie makes sure he’s not seperated from his dad so he had someone there with him through it, but as his dad starts to get sick he helps me because he doesn’t want to be all alone. Someone brings to his attention that he is only going to die so he should just worry about himself and eat his dad’s ration of bread.
3. Elie’s father giving him the knife and spoon was a significant act because, if he keeps it it might be worth something.
5. When they say a “stampede” the Germans’ had all the Jews run and keep running, the Jews were clapsing everywhere and they just running over the people that couldn’t run anymore.
6. When Elie is trying to help his dad get better his dad tells him to just leave him but Elie doesn’t listen until people tell him that he’s going to die anyway so he should just be worry about himself and keep himself alive.
7. On January 28th 1945, Elie’s dad died, Eliezer was very upset and still had hope that his dad was still breathing when they took him away. Elie says “i did not weep, and it pained me that i could not weep”. Since his father died nothing matter to him anymore.
8. Elie says “The look in his eyes, as they stared into mine, has never left me” by that i think he means that he look like skin and bones and he looked so horribly he didn’t look like himself, he looked died.
9. Because it wasn’t as long, it has all real facts, he keeps the story going, and it’s sad that you don’t really know how to respond because its so sad.
10. If i were to give this book a new title it would be “My Worst Nightmare” Because it really is a big nightmare, the way that get treated if so horrible. Barely anything to eat so they stare, they get killed for no reason, and they just have to watch their family’s die all around them and they can’t say a thing about it.
1. Elie describes himself as a very religious person, in the book it talks about him and Moshe the Beadle are talking about god. Elie says “we talked like this nearly every evening”.
2. Moshe the Beadle was a man that Elie met, he helped Elie study the cabbala.
3. The town thought Moshe’s stories were so made up, that they stopped listening to him and his stories.
4. I think Elie started the book with talking about Moshe the Beadle because, that was the first person that he met and Moshe really helped him understand things.
5. “They expelled all the foreign Jews from Sighet”.
6. Elie’s family was separated when they got to the concentration camp the Nazis’ told the women to go to one side and gentle man to the other, that was the last time Elie saw him mom and sister.
7. I think they take away their stuff so they can turn it in for money. They also took their clothes so that all the Jews could match, and cut their hair so they can all look the same. The tattoo on each persons arm was so they could identify someone.
8. When it says a life turned into “one long night” it means that he felt like the day was never going to end, he worked so hard without a break like he was never going to get to lay down to go to bed.
9. I think that everything that’s going on is really unfair and upsetting because I don’t understand why they would ever treat a human being that way, or any living thing for that matter. Just because they are different a race and believe in different things doesn’t mean that they should be treated so horribly. If it were them in that kind of situation they wouldn’t like it one bit. I think that everyone should go by “treat people the way you would wanna be treated”.
