Section four.

So as we get more into the book I am starting to understand more about the Holocaust, and what all the Jewish people, and people of other religons stuck there went through. For example, the "French" girl, who was pretending to be French so she would not be deported some where else. I found rather odd that they would so happen to me again like fourty years later, but it was a very good thing because he go to finally understand how she talked to him in German. But wow was the book detailed when he got hit twenty-five times on the crate for just accidently walking in on the Kapo and that girl. It wasn't his fault at all, but they usually just wanted to blame them for something and then beat them. Also, when the Kapo was having a bad he decided to just take it out on Eli for no real reason, but they were allowed to do that which makes this all even worse. But it did make the situation a little better knowing that America was trying to help out and blow the places up, but they should of considered that there were prisoners in those buildings that were destroyed, and Eli got lucky that his dad wasn't in one of those. But one thing that I did not understand was why that man who wanted to kill himself for just a little bit of soup crawled in on the gravel? Supposedly he crawled in and then grabbed on to the table, and hoisted himself up on the table and dunked his head into the bowl of soup and then fall and died. I, myself did not understand that part, because was he already dieing from like a wound or something? Or did he crawl in so the SS guards would not see him? And after he had some soup why he did he fall and like stop moving? Well of course he stopped moving because he was dead, i just don't get how he died. Also, I'm starting to understand that the prisoners are becoming a little less human after every hanging, and beating they see. When the man was being hung because he stole during the air raid warning he was hung and Eli didn't seem to mind that, he just wanted to know when they got to eat again. But I was glad that he was sad about the little boy who was hung, but it was horrible that it took him that long to die, and he was struggling the whole time.
