The Other Immersion Novel Blog Post

So (have you noticed I start most of my blogs with "so?"), Night got really interesting recently, and by that I mean I finished it. But now I have to talk about what happened during the book so… I guess it's time to revisit some old events, like that one guy who kills his father to get some bread. Or how the Rabbi's son abandon's his father so that he can live longer. Or maybe that scene where the Nazis kill Juliek for playing the violin. But that's all just inhumanity, let's talk about some of the fun stuff: trying to find something good in the terrible world of the Holocaust (which is still technically our world, in a literal sense). I guess that the part where Elie's family hides their valuables could be considered an act of humanity (you can see how much I'm floundering with that one) but overall, I don't think this book mainly focuses on the humane aspects of the Holocaust. It's just pretty much showcasing people doing inhumane things because they are either hungry, trying to save their own skins, or just not thinking strait.
