So, this book has really gotten my attention, I can`t stop reading! I started realizing that this author uses sophisticated words, which I actually enjoy because it is helping with my vocabulary.
The character named, Madame Schacter really captures my attention because the "fire" that she was seeing it could actually be true, she knew what was going to happen with the Jews long before they got to Auschwitz. It also impressed me how the Jews took care of each other; Elie lied to Stein telling him that his wife and daughters were fine, while actually he didn’t know.
I was really shocked when I got to the part that Elie compared their situation to Job, and the coincidence is that I read Job in class about a day ago. I really liked how the author connected with Job, in a sense of thinking that he is not denying the existence of God but he is doubting God`s absolute justice.
Humanity also struck me because you can`t seem to see any humanity shown by the German`s, but the prisoner in charge of the block in Auschwitz showed a little sympathy, in Elie`s words: The first human words.
