Every human being has his own gate. He must not err and wish to enter the orchard through a gate other than his own. That would present a danger not only for the one entering but also for those who are already inside." 
This quote is very meaningful because it explains how one needs to follow their own path and not trail in others because it will hurt them and the people they are following.]]> 2021-12-03 16:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1927680272 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1927685051 This picture describes the ghettos that the Jewish were moved into and forced to stay.]]> 2021-12-03 16:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1927685051 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1927691204 I wonder why they didn't even think to believe all the things that they were hearing. Also I wonder why in the conditions they were put in, they didn't think that it was really bad and had to escape. ]]> 2021-12-03 16:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1927691204 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1931317891 I think this displays cause and effect because no one listened to Moishe telling his story of what had happened to him and him trying to warn all of them about what was about to happen to them. Since no one believed him, it ended up being to late for them to save themselves. ]]> 2021-12-06 14:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1931317891 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1931329598 Throughout the first two chapters, the story results in many things happening at night. Most of the important things when they were moved, taken to ghettos, and taken into the concentration camps were in the middle of the night. This allows us to realize the name of the story and why it is called "Night."]]> 2021-12-06 15:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1931329598 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1931330407 I think it is really crazy that they sent all those people in one cart on a 4 day trip with only 2 loafs of bread and a couple pales of water. I would like to think that these people felt bad for what they were being forced to do to people. There is no way that in any case that would be okay and I don't understand how they could do something like that.]]> 2021-12-06 15:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1931330407 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1934296299 I find it really interesting that they made children, women, and men jump into the fires alive. I never knew that until reading this book that they had to go in themselves. I always thought they died first and then were put into the fires. ]]> 2021-12-07 18:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1934296299 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1934310714 On page 34 of the book, the text states " Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under the silent sky. Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for all eternity of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes. Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God himself. Never." This is an example of an anaphora and alliteration.]]> 2021-12-07 18:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1934310714 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1934321701 The relative from Antwerp said "Take care of your son. He is very week, very dehydrated. Take care of yourselves, you must avoid selection." This quote shows a perspective of Elie's cousin. He is aware that the more weak you get the closer to death you will become. ]]> 2021-12-07 18:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1934321701 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1938528845 To take things of value from the prisoners.

I almost could feel the dread that he and Elie were probably feeling at that moment and having that feeling all day at work.]]> 2021-12-09 20:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1939135326 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1939143701 This is an important scene because it shows a great fear that everyone shares in the camp. This is the selection where you must pass if you want to live. Elie is very scared for himself and his father for the selection. It is either life or death.]]> 2021-12-09 20:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1939143701 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1944930213 I am wondering how Elie got the courage to run over to his dad with the big risk of being shot. I know he never wanted to leave his father, but he was also risking his life. For fighting that long I think that was a huge risk and that he should have maybe tried a different approach. ]]> 2021-12-13 16:09:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1944930213 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1947787294 This is an important scene because a lot of people died during this journey to a different concentration camp. This was also the journey that wore down Elie's father so much that he couldn't go on. ]]> 2021-12-14 18:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1947787294 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1948530044 " I shall not describe my life during that period. It no longer mattered. Since my father's death, nothing mattered to me anymore." 
This quote shows the theme of not losing your hope and faith when going through these things like adversity and conflict. Once Elie's dad died, he had lost most of his hope and faith. He had lost the only thing that mattered to him and allowed him to push through. Who knows how many more days he would have lasted without his father without being rescued. ]]> 2021-12-15 03:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1948530044 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1948541894 Since the prisoners were given no food or water while on their journey, a lot of them had resorted to eating snow and living off of that abundant supply. It never stopped snowing which meant never ending cold, but also a chance for survival. ]]> 2021-12-15 03:26:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1948541894 pressly_meadows https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1948550102 #free at last!
Once all the people were finally rescued and free, the only thought about their basic needs. They only wanted food and water and shelter. Not to mention that most of their families had already been executed and them being the lucky ones. They did not think about taking revenge on the Germans, they just wanted to live after fighting so hard for so long. ]]> 2021-12-15 03:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pressly_meadows/oaa8he9p4ng5ttwm/wish/1948550102
