This blog was inspired by the presentation "Students Remember Survivors: Teaching Tolerance" given at the National Council of Teachers of English Convention on November 17, 2008.

Journal Responses to pages 85-103 (optional)

As we approach the end of the book, please feel free to share your reflections here.

Responses to pages 47-65 (Chapter 4)

Pick one of the following topics to discuss. Remember to limit your response to 10 sentences, max.

1. The SS at Auschwitz purposely stripped Jews of their identity, dignity, privacy, and hope. At the same time, some prisoners resisted these efforts. Where in Night do you see the theme of dehumanization? of resistance? (You may respond to one or both).

2. The word hunger takes on new meaning at Auschwitz. What does the word mean to Eliezer? What other words have taken on new meaning in this section of the book?

3. Respond to a significant image, idea, or event that leaves a strong impression on you.

4. Continue to explore the changing relationship between Eliezer and his father (see Savannah’s post in the “Questions and Comments” section.)

5. Respond directly to a classmates' comment.
