Methods of Torture #8: Night

I was thinking back to when I read the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel. "The spectators observed these emaciated creatures ready to kill for a crust of bread"(101). It is very clear that the Jews packed on to the trains were starved so much that they would turn against each other and even kill just to get a roll of bread. They were on the edge of starvation and each one of the bodies packed into that tiny train craved for a grain of bread to carry them onto the next week of travel. I am so grateful to have plenty of food to eat everyday. Everyday after school I can pop a bag of popcorn in the microwave or make myself a sandwich. The Jews were deprived of that privilege for the years they served in the concentration camps. I can't relate to the extreme starvation that the Jews experienced but I can appreciate everything I have.
