Night, Chapters 8&9; Read for 35 minutes
This is where the book starts to get really sad. It's hard to even imagine the thoughts that are going through Elie's head. He's thinking " I wish I could just die now." But then he sees his father. His weak, sick old father. The only reason he doesn't just die now is because of his dad. He doesn't want to leave him in hid time of need. And the thoughts his dad must be thinking. There not even thoughts really. Just "Need to sleep. Just let me lay down for one minute, please, Elie have pity on me" He wants to lay down and go to sleep in the snow because he hasn't eaten or slept in two days. But, the thing is, if you go to sleep in the snow, well, it's more than likely that you won't wake up. Ever. But Elie's father is so sick and exhausted he doesn't even notice that he's dying. It's horrible and awful. I can't even imagine it.
