In the second half of Night, Elie Wiesel describes several events from his time in the Buna concentration camp, then details the circumstances leading up to the prisoners'
forced march to escape the Red Army.
Think about an event from sections 4-6 that interested or surprised you and write a
personal response about it. A personal response might answer these types of
questions:
• How did you feel as you were reading that part? Why?
• Why did you find that event interesting, surprising, or perhaps horrifying?
• What connections can you make to that event and something that's happened
in your own life or in recent history?
Use the RACE strategy and write at least THREE complete sentences for full credit.
