Night Chapter Six Discussion Board Period 5 by Mrs. Schorr https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb en-us 2020-04-07 01:40:45 UTC 2025-11-23 17:53:03 UTC hello@padlet.com Make up your own question about ANY chapter or event we've read so far. This could be something that you didn't understand or confused you, or even a question I posed on another board that you didn't understand (at the end of the day, I'll do my best to answer these). aschorr2 https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb/wish/495933493 2020-04-07 01:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb/wish/495933493 Question 1: During a short rest, Eliezer and his father fight to stay awake because they know that sleep could lead to their deaths. At one point, Eliezer has to wake his dozing father, who is startled and then smiles. Eliezer writes, “I shall always remember that smile. What world did it come from?” (p. 90). Why do you think his father smiled? aschorr2 https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb/wish/495933494 2020-04-07 01:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb/wish/495933494 Question 2: Rabbi Eliahu is searching for his son, whom Eliezer remembers seeing during the march. To his horror, Eliezer realizes that the Rabbi’s son may have intentionally kept running to put distance between himself and his weakening father. Do you believe the son’s actions were justified? Why or why not? aschorr2 https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb/wish/495933495 2020-04-07 01:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb/wish/495933495 Question 3: Juliek gives his final performance to a mass of dying people. In the morning, Wiesel describes his violin as “an eerily poignant little corpse” (p 95). Look up the definition of “poignant” and explain this metaphor. aschorr2 https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb/wish/495933497 2020-04-07 01:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb/wish/495933497 You guys had really good questions. The Jews had to run, and the Germans were encouraging them, because they had to get out of the camp as fast as possible. The reason for this was because the Russians were coming from the East, and if they Russians got to the camp , a couple of things would happen: they would find out the horrible things they had been doing, and they would release the Jews. The Germans still wanted to try to eliminate the Jews or use them to work. aschorr2 https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb/wish/497887285 2020-04-08 02:28:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb/wish/497887285 I don't really know the answer to why they made them run instead of transporting them in another way. I think they had to move fast and maybe they didn't have time to get trains there to transport them, so they moved them on foot. aschorr2 https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb/wish/497889032 2020-04-08 02:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aschorr2/n3bz3t43v6wb/wish/497889032
