In the beginning of the book Elie says that his father was always busy and didn't show much emotion. On page 33 it tells how his father became sad and cried at the thought of his son dying. "Night" by Elie Wiesel claims, "his voice was terribly sad... I understood that he did not wish to see what they would do to me"(pg 33).This is a huge change in his father from the start of the story. Showing emotions was very unlike him and now he's openly crying.

It is crazy to learn that before they were transported they all had to stay in an abandoned synagogue. Families were separated because men and women had to be separated. The synagogue didn't even have bathrooms the people had to use the restroom in the corner of the room. I can't imagine how these people felt waiting to be shipped off. It also must have felt awful to be waiting in a place they worshiped that was now destroyed.

When Moishe the Beadle came back from being "deported" he tried to explain what had happened. Sadly, people thought he was crazy and didn't listen. Maybe if they had listened they could have had a different fate. Moishe said that the officers made people dig their own graves than killed them. He also told that they threw babies in the air as targets. That is absolutely disgusting and the officers felt they were doing nothing wrong. How could you feel you're doing nothing wrong when you are murdering families? It amazes me how blind and ignorant the officers were.

I wonder how the people stayed so optimistic. Even though they new their was a plan for all Jews to be killed. They had heard what Moishe had said but simply said he was crazy. They stayed optimistic even when they were hearing all the terrible things being planned and put into action. They thought because the Red Army was close they would be saved even if they heard otherwise. I would not be very optimistic in that situation. I'd be very scared and upset that the government would let that happen.

I can't imagine the fear they felt when the noticed the smell and that the flames were real.

Why did Elie call the prisoners creatures? I wonder what he was thinking if he didn't realize that they were also Jewish. The prisoners looked like creatures because they were starved with shaved heads and no hope left. He thought they were creatures because they were stripped from their lives and individuality but he didn't know. How did he feel when he realized that those 'creaturs' were other Jewish people.

Elie had lied to Stein about his mother receiving letters from Reizel. As a result, Stein went to ask questions at the next transport and learned the real truth. After learning the real truth he never came to see Elie and his father again. I'm sure that Elie had good intentions of lying to Stein but in the long run, Stein just got hurt even more.

A recurring symbol in this story so far is peoples eyes. Elie keeps mentioning how peoples eyes change. Elie claims, "We realized then that we were not staying in Hungary. Our eyes opened. Too late" (pg 23). It symbolizes how the change in their soul and fate changes. They realize that they should have listened to Moishe when they were warned. Also that they should have listened when Mrs. Schachter was screaming about fire.

I wonder if he tried to keep faith for his father and that gave him motivation. Elie states, "Why, but why would I bless him... He kept six crematoria working day and night, including Sabbath and the Holy Days"(pg 67). I can see why he was losing his faith, but how did he keep even a little to stay motivated? I wouldn't be able to keep my faith after my God let all that happen.

Early on in the story Elie cared about what happened very much. He constantly worried about what would happen to him, his father, and the other inmates. Now in chapter 9 after his father has died Elie cares about nothing. Elie even states "Since my fathers death, nothing mattered to me anymore"(pg 113). Before his fathers death Elie was constantly worried about his life now he no longer cares. Without his father his hope and faith has been lost.

While the prisoners were being transported they made yet another stop in a German town. One of the German citizens made the decision to throw bread into a rail car. By doing this it causes the conflict of the prisoners brutally fighting over the bread. They were killing each other over small pieces of bread because they were so starved. It is devastating that it got so bad they came to kill each other for food. The German citizens that did this absolutely disgust me. How could you possibly find entertainment in that?
