__**Pages 1-20**__ What are the signs of trouble?: Page 14; One by one the houses emptied, and the streets filled with people and bundles. By ten o'clock, all the condemned were outside. The police took a roll call, once, twice, twenty times. The heat was intense. Sweat streamed from faces and bodies. Page 15; Everything could be found there: suitcases, portfolios, briefcases, knives, plates, banknotes, papers, faded portraits. All those things that people had thought of taking with with them, and witch in the end they had left behind. Page 18; Night. No one prayed, so that night would pass quickly

How I Feel: I feel bad and upset because people were taking from their homes and striped of their belongings. I also feel that they must feel like their god had giving up on them because they stopped praying. If someone had tried to take me from my house I would have made them pry me out of my house.

How do the Jews of Sighet react? Page 15; One by one they passed in front of me, teacher, friends, others, all those I had been afraid of, all those I once could laugh at, all those I had lived with over the years. Page 15; We had spent the day fasting. But we were not hungry. We were exhausted. Page 18; The people's morale was not too bad; we were beginning to get used to the situation.

How I Feel: I think that they were willing to move. They were exhausted but still did not ask for food. They also started to get used to the situation, so it seems like they are not fighting being moved. If I was being moved I would yell at the guards for food and I would do all the things I could to make the guards life as bad as mine.

REALLY NICE JOB ON YOUR FIRST DJE. KEEP UP THIS STRONG AND THOUGHTFUL WORK, FRIEND! MS. N.

__**pages 21 – 26**__ Who is Madame Schächter?
 * Page 22;“Look! Look at the fire! A terrible fire! Mercy! Oh, that fire!”
 * Page 25;“Jews, look! Look through the window! Flames! Look!”

What I think of her: I think She is crazy. I think she is because her husband and two old kids were deported earlier than she was. I also think she is crazy because is is yelling about a fire than is not really there. I think than i would not go crazy, but I would upset.

What happens to her?
 * Page 22; Her husband and two eldest sons had been deported with the first transport by mistake.
 * Page 22; On the third night, while we slept, some of us one against another and some standing, a piercing cry split the silence: “Fire! I can see a fire! I can see a fire”
 * Page 26;I threw a last glance towards Madame Schächter. Her little boy was holding her hand

How I feel: I feel bad for her. I think that she would not be so crazy if she was with her husband. I also feel like how she died was uncalled for. I think she would have been ok if she had stayed alive. I also was mad that she held her kids hand in the fire. I think the kid should have lived.

__**pages 27 – 44**__

What are the specific acts, events and ideas that DESTROY faith? Page #30: When a general said “Poor devils, you're going to the crematory.” Page #33: One of his townspeople had approached him crying. “'Don't cry Yechiel,' I said. 'Not cry? we're on the threshold of death....Soon we shall have crossed over....Don't you understand?How could I not cry?' He said. Page #30: Babies! Yes, I saw it-saw it with my own eyes... those children in the flames

How i feel; I would feel like there was no god if all this happenend to me. I would just give uo all hope. I would just give up living. I would just mope around.

”What are the specific acts, events and ideasthat REKINDLE faith? Page #38: A general said,”There's a long road of suffering ahead of you. But don't loose courage. Now, muster your strength, and don't loose heart. we shall all see the day of liberation. Have faith in life. Above all else, have faith. Drive out despair, and you will keep death away from yourselves.” Page #31: I was face to face with the Angle of Death

How I feel; I dont think my faith would be able to be rekindled. The only way i would start beliving again is if i saw god. Other than that I dont think I could go back to beliving in somthing that would let me go there the hard times that they went though

__**pages 45 – 62**__ Acts of kindness Page #51: After his brutal attack a girl said, “Bit your lip, little brother.... Don't cry. Keep your anger and hatred for another day, for later on. The day will come, but not now.... Wait. Grit your teeth and wait....” Page #48: “All right. Your father’ll be working here by your side.”

How I feel:I think that the germans are trying to earn their trust. I also think thats its cool that they are being nice. I think it making this whole thing alot easyer on the jews.

Acts of brutality Page #52: One time one of the German soldiers said to Elie's father,”You lazy old devil! You call that work!” Page #50: “One day when Idek was seized with one of his fits of frenzy, I got in his was. He leapt on me, like a wild animal, hitting me in the chest, on the head, throwing my down, and picking me up again, his blows growing more and more violent, until I was covered with blood. As I was bitting my lips to stop my self to stop from screaming with pain, he must have taken my silence for defiance, for he went on hitting me harder.

How i feel: I think that the jews thought that people were going to be mean to them. I think that they are over the fact that they are mean. I think that if they were nice the whole thing would be better but they can deal.

OOLA Sonureta!
