Section Five.
I am pretty shocked that Eli and his father are even still alive. They have been through so much, starvation, and cruelty, they were very brave and strong through out this whole thing. Especially when they had to run about fifteen miles, with them already being skinny and on the verge of death. I didn't quite understand how the little boy was playing his violin and laying underneath and on top of dead and/or dieing people. It would of been great pain to have to lie underneath people all crammed up in that little space, gasping for air, and three days without food or water. I do not see how they did not figure it out early to eat the snow, cause its water, but it would of been a little weird to watch the prisoners eating snow off of each others backs. I believe that the Russians are about to come and rescue all of them. Also, if I was Eli I would feel so bad knowing that the prisoners in the hospital got rescued two days after they had evacuated. But if I was in Eli's situation I would of probably kept going with the others, cause there was a good chance that the patients would of been put in the chambers. But I do think that Eli will make it out with his dad in the end.

Well i agree somewhat, but i still they should have stayed along. I don't see how they ran that far either. Elie had a bad foot and still he kept going, and his father is over 50. If they would have stayed he would have gotten more food and a bed. I think that is worth it.
I can't believe that they made it that far either. I don't think that I could have made it as far as they did. I think that I would have moved on too. I wouldn't have wanted to take the chance of getting killed in the hospital.
I agree with you 50-50 probaity, if he stayed, he could have been freed or escaped. But he wouldn't abanden his dad and that seams like loyelity to me.
