In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, the main character Elie was taken from his home to be transferred to a concentration camp. He was separated from his mom and sister left with only his dad. When he and his father boarded a train heading towards the concentration camp, they meet a lady named Mrs. schachter and her son. She and her husband have been separated and she’s losing hope. She starts imagining a fire when there isn’t one.

           One thing that surprised me the most was that when Elie’s father asked politely for the bathroom the guard slapped him furiously on face. When Mrs. Schachter starts hallucinating I was shocked at how people treated her. They hit her just to make her be quiet. People started treating them differently and more harshly. I understood why Elie said he was 18. He wanted to seem able to work and in good work condition.

          I feel that Elie doesn’t deserve torture. The punishments are harsh and unruly. Innocent people were killed and hurt. I feel emotional towards the action of the guards and Elie’s family. There’s no reason for them to be hurt.
