Studying 'Night' by Elie Wiesel.
We completed a second Empathy Map looking at what Elie was like at the end of the war. Elie went to hospital and got an illness. He saw live bodies being thrown into flames of fire. He was always very hungry and felt alone. He also felt like he failed his dad. He heard a lot of gunshots and grenades, people screaming and crying.
He had been through so much trauma. He lost all of his family as they didn't survive the concentration camp. He had to re-start his life and just start living normal again which would of been very hard.
It made me feel disgusted, and so so sad that they had to go through that. I can't even imagine going through it. It makes me feel so angry that people did that to human beings.
The part that I found the most upsetting was him watching live bodies being thrown into flames and hearing them screaming for help. But the whole story was very upsetting.
There wasn't really parts that give me hope until the end when they got out of there. So many people lives were lost for absolutely no reason at all. But the surviors than got a chance at living and to share there storys.
Elie's story did alter my views about human beings and how we relate to each other in society becasue the whole story and the Holocaust made everyone fell the same way, disgusted, angry, sad.
The most important message I have taken from night is to be grateful for your life and what u have, your family and to make the most of it. Take everyday as it comes and push through the hard times.
