Night Chapter 8

The line, “This discussion continued for some time. I knew that I was longer arguing with him, but with Death itself” is considered an example of: 

• simile

• hyperbole

• personification

• allusion

Why does Elie feel ashamed right now?

• He cannot find his father.

• He knows he is going to have to run later, and he is worried he is using too much energy to find his father.

• He thought of the relief he might feel if he didn't find his father and only had to take care of himself.

• He does not like the idea of his father with Rabbi Eliahu.

What is Elie's father suffering from?

• Cholera

• Yellow Fever

• Small Pox

• Dysentery

Do you agree with the Blockalteste, head of the block, that Elie should stop helping his father and just worry about him self? Why or why not?

How does Elie realize his father is gone? How does he feel about it? Explain.
