Dear Ellie, I have read your story “The Night” I found it very interesting and informative. There is obviously a reason you wrote the novel I think it was to portray the theme of survival.on page 31 of “The Night” You had to lie about your age to stay with your father so you could live,If you had not ran into the strange man you would have been separated from your father and maybe even killed. Even on the way to Auschwitz there were ways you could have died according to page 23 it said “There was little air the lucky ones found themselves near a window”. If you had not gotten enough air you could have suffocated and died before you even made it to Auschwitz. From the time you got on
