Spring Blog #1- Into the flames

Blog #1 - Chapter 2 - Due 1/281.  What is the significance of the flames?  (2-3 sentence answer)

In the story "Night" by Elie Wiesel, the flames in chapter 2 are significant because no one believed Mrs. Schächter when she was yelling that there were flames outside. She was trying to warn the other jews that there was danger just like Moishe the Beadle but no one believed either of them when there was danger. 

2.  Please write a paragraph reaction log thinking about issues such as:  what do you think of the book so far?  what was your favorite part of the reading?  what part of the reading surprised you the most?  what do you know about Elie as a young boy?

The book is very realistic which changes how someone interprets the context of the book. The description of what Elie was seeing when he was a young boy gives off a different perspective then other stories about the Holocaust. While reading the beginning part of the story, it surprised me how descriptive Elie is, remembering when he was so young. I perceive that Elie as a young boy was very strong and independent but he was tested a lot during this experience.
