Night

by Rosario - written at the half-way point in the book

Night is a story that the narrator is telling. He is telling how his life was as a teenager and it starts as most memoirs do with small stories from childhood. His religion was Jewish and he knew that there were many things that other people were accusing them as but he didn't care after all. But then there was one night that one of his friends Mosh had come back. He came back terrified and he was always telling stories of where he came and how scared he was. His stories were horrible but as bad as they were people didn't believe him so he started to give up and stop warning them of what happened. He would just weep instead.

Then one night came that his father was called and he was told that German soldiers were going to come and get all the Jews so He had to warn all the Jews to get their stuff ready. And in the neighbor hood that they lived in there were allot of Jews and They knew where they lived. Some Jews were Scared but others seemed like they didn't care. None of them knew where they were going or what to take with them. They didn't even know if they were going to come back. The next days there were German solders everywhere taking the Jews.

They were taking the Jews to concentration camps but they didn't know that. People couldn't fathom the horrors that stood in front of them. Once they got there they split the women from the men. They made them men do back-breaking work and they had to take of all their clothes and be like that in the cold. The Germans were so cruel to the Jews and they if they did something wrong they would sometime kill them.

So, at the half-way point, I am wondering who lives and who dies. I wonder if Eli (the narrarator and main character) will be reunited with his family.
