3nd journel on Night

“They must have taken him away before dawn and carried him to the crematory. He may still have been breathing.”
In my view this is the saddest part of the book. Eliezer’s father is very sick and asks Eliezer to get water for him. Eliezer’s father will only drink water and not eat soup or bread. Eliezer tries to explain that just drinking water will kill him if he doesn’t eat. Elieze’s father wont listen to this and keeps asking for water. An SS guard walks by and hears him asking and Eliezer keeps asking Eliezer for water. The guard then takes his club and smashes Eliezer fathers skull. Later Eliezer returns and some one else is in his father’s bed and this is when Eliezer says the quote. Eliezer then thinks he has nothing left to live for after his father died. Eliezer had lost his faith, family and still he lives on. I don’t know why he decides to live if after his father dies he says he doesn’t have any reason to live. I don’t know why he decided to change his mind and kept living. I think he decided to live for the sake of living. I don’t think that I can ever comprehend why he kept living because I haven’t experience the inhumanity that Eliezer has endured.
