Final Goodbyes

Elie and his father arrive at Buchenwald, a concentration camp near Berlin. They are told to take showers and from there they would be sent to different blocks. The prisoners were uncontrollable and it took much longer than Elie wanted to to arrive at the showers. His father was very weak and wanted to lie down in the bank to rest and ready to die. Elie wouldn't let him lay there and die, they both argued over it until they were hearded into bunks and Elie fell asleep, WHen he woke up, he realized that he had lost his son and that he was becoming like Rabbi Eliahu's son and was giving up on his father. After finding his father, he realized that he was getting weaker and weaker everyday. Eventually his father began to suffer from dysentary. The doctors said that they could do nothing for him, he was becoming much weaker and could no longer walk. While in the infirmary, he started to say that his roommates were stealing his food and attacking him. On January 28th, 1945, Elie's father would not stop talking when the officer told him to stop talking and began to beat him. Eleis father called out for him, and when he woke up the next morning, his father was gone and a new man was lying where his father should have been.

This is a sad chapter and I feel bad that his father died. Elie said that he was out of tears and did weap over his fathers death. Elie was more relieved by his fathers death. He probably feels as if a weight was lifted off of his shoulder. Elie can now focus on himself and his survival. Another thing that has happedned today is the last blog post that I might ever write. I cannot say that I will miss blog posts, or comments, but it will be weird not doing them every Monday and Thursday night. I find it kind of strange that I don't have any sad feelings toward my last blog post, but it is home work, so maybe it does make some sense. I remember the first blog post I did, I had no clue what to write and looked up memes for OMAM, that ended up being a bad idea because the book was spoiled. The ammount of times that I have forgotten to do blog comments is way too many, but thats fairly normal for me. So, goodbye blogs, I will miss you, but not too much.
