Sections 6,7,8,9

The book turned out like a good choice to read it, but I wish that I wouldn't of read that book because it was too sad and a wake up call for everyone about the Jewish. I was glad that Eli's father did make it that far, but his death wasn't a very pleasent one because he was probably killed in the crematorium by the Germans. I am glad that Eli does reunite with his sisters that were not talked about in the book very much, so hopefully they also got out of there with as little bruising as possible. I am glad that the Americans saved them, but I wish that they would of came much much sooner. It was a sad fact that families would actually do those things to eachother, like the boy who ran ahead so he could lose his father, also on the train when the old man finally gets some food, and his son kills him for a little piece of bread, and the workers off of the train found that amusing. It was also a sad thing to hear that one hundred men started out on the train and only twelve got off the train, and Eli and his father were two of them. Only ten other men survived that train ride. But I am glad that Eli survived this whole thing, and is alive to tell it today, to let everyone know what really happened behind those gates.
