So far in the book "Night" we have followed a young Jewish boy whose family is being affected by the Haulocost. Him, his father, mother, and three sisters live in a small Russian village that has a relatively large Jewish population.
They are warned by a man named Moishe the Beadle that the germans are cruely slaughtering the Jewish people, however his predictions are thrown aside due to the towns idealistic view that the Germans will never reach them. However they are quickly proven wrong when they forcibly enclosed into an all jewish section of the city, then moved from their section to an unknown location. As the chapter ends they are preparing to begin their journey into the unknown.
This book had a slow start that originally had me lost and i had no clue what was happening, but over the course of the first ten pages the setup was explained. The book is not particularlay interesting, but it looks at this point that it is building up deep characters and is building suspense that i believe will eventually lead to a great climax.

Nice job Colin. I thought it was good how you combined your thoughts of the book with the facts from the book. Maybe next time it could be longer, but in total I thought that it was a success. Keep up the good work.
