Night Sections 6-9

I felt that these sections were the saddest because of all of the deaths. The prisoners were forced to basically kill themselves! I don't think that anybody would be able to live through such conditions. Also, Elie's father was so close to making it... He didn't even really die from his sickness, he died because they threw him into the crematorium! Elie then reflection on his father's last words... call his son to help him, but he never came. That was the worst part for me because I know that I would have been so overcome with guilt I would have been put into depression!

Spencer you have done really good work on your blogs. Your right, Elie's father was sos so close to finshing when he was killed by them. For me that ties with the angel faced kid getting hanged. for the saddest part of this book.

Yeah, these were the worst sections. Like on the train when 100 people got on and only 12 got off. I agree with you about Elie's fathers last words, he would have to live with that for the rest of his life.

I theink these were the worst sections to. But at least the prison resistance suceeded in driving the nazi's out of the camp so they could be freed. Also when they were on the train i thought it was pretty cruel when that one guy was killing his own father for some bread.

These sections were definitely the saddest. I thought it was very weird that 100 got on and 12 got off and him and his dad were 2 of them. That poor guy that didn't make it off the train must have felt horrible. I think that they were happy to dump off the dead bodies off the train, but earlier like when they got to the first camp, they would have definitely cared.
