Assigment 3 Chapter 1

This man name Moishe the Beadle he didn't really have a real actual name. Its more like he had lots of nick names.He was poor and lived in the utter penury .He was more of a shy person he wouldn't really talk.He was the way the other man were he was more strange awkward in a weird way.The way people would treat him in the village it was like he didn't exited no one would bother him and he wouldn't bother anyone. Eliezer cries because he said he feels the need of crying sort of like he was depressed.He went back to go tell them what was happening;but the didn't listen to him because they thought he just wanted to grab attention. What they would was arrest the leader that way the followers didn't have anyone to follow . A ghetto is were they keep only one type of people but its in a neighborhood. Because they were afraid they would get caught while they were in charge.

Assigment 2:Cattle Car Complex

I think that the story that I read was really interesting because it shows how he felt and it made you feel like if you were living it yourself. He started panicking in the elevator thinking that he was in a recreation camp. Since he is claustrophobic and he is afraid of the dark. All his fears were in that elevator which made him feel like he was in a cattle car on its way to the camp.So i think its really cool how he describes everything happening to him and how it makes you feel like your in that place experimenting all those wild,creepy,and scary feelings.

2nd nine weeks assigment one


What he did was really terrible and i really don't find any point on what he did to the Jews and all that people he killed. He tried eliminating them from the world just cause he had hate against them without having a good reason.So to my point of view he is a really bad man.
