In this short chapter of the novel the jews are loaded onto the trains and moved to the concentration camps. On this voyage the Jews seem to lose all sense of self-pride as they are trapped in a hot box with many people and little air.
During the voyage a woman who has been seperated from her husband and child begins to crack. She constantly scream FIRE, LOOK AT THE FIRE, when there is no fire to be seen. She constantly wakes everyone up with her screaming and has to be restrained several times. However at the end of the chapter she screams FIRE and she is pointing at the crematorium.
This chapter was very short, but it gave good insight to how the voyage was starting to affect the prisoner's mental states. It also did the job of explaining the hope they had for the concentration camps, which was sadly mistaken.

Hey big guy I like how you explained that this voyage to the camps had been starting to take affect on the jews state of mind.
Good summary and good insight. That lady was defently crazy but she was right because they were all going to die a horrible bloody, disgusting, death with there bodies burning and there eyes probably exploding. There all screaming and crying blood and charred bodies everywhere with no chance to escape. Also your blog was kind've short.
This was a good blog, that captured most of the information form the cahpter. It also had good insight from you. You might have wanted to say how you felt about the treatment of the Jews or predict what you thought might happen.
this is very good colin. I am glad that you put in names and names of places in the story. The names made the summary work. Good Job.
