• Attendance   

While reading the chapters, my mind underwent several emotions. At first, I felt fear similarly to the men and women that were on a journey to their unfathomable doom.

One thing that was disturbing is when Levi says ," Would you not not do the same ? If you and your child were going to be killed tomorrow, would you not give him something to eat today ?"

It was as if he was trying to make the most unusual circumstances appear to have some form of normalcy to the readers because that was his new normal.

Also, the more I thought about the emotional distress parents went through such as their cries for water for their little ones , the more distraught I become.

It was also so shocking to see Levi's state of mind altering from that of a human to an emotionless "being".

The way he describes that he no longer had a future and he wasn't trying to make sense of anything, but just being there and not really living.

He successfully captures the deepest and darkest state of mind that a person can have when faced with the worst dangers of life.
