Night Sections 2-3

In section two, there was that very crazy lady who was talking about the flames. Was she a psychic or something? Also, I've heard of people doing that before, but i thought it was only in fictional stories. This is based on Elie Wiesel's experience, right? Anyways, this story is very dark... I can't even imagine how much this would have scarred him at 12 years old. This whole book is just kind of surreal, it's like something you would see in a made up movie... maybe worse.

I didn't get how she knew about the flames either. I think they may have just added that in to make the book more interesting. I also dont see why she keep yelling out as people were hitting her.

I am not so sure either on how the flames were saw.I never thought about that part about the story being real either.I think it may have been added for the plot but im not sure.

Where did your blogs name come from? I can't imagine what the crazy ladies son was going through with his mom going crazy infont of him. I don't understand how everyone in their town could be so clueless to the outside world, they had no clue what was going on and they had never heard of Auschwitz. I don't know how the lady knew about the fires but i wonder if it was just kind of foreshadowing.

I agree that lady might have been physcic. I agree the horrors of this book are unimaginable. To be 12 and have to live through this had to be horriable.
