Night Chapter 2

1. Explain, “our eyes opened. Too too late.” Where was the train at this point?

In complete sentences please tell me why you think the passengers were trying to "reassure" eachother that Mrs. Schächter was not right?

Mrs. Schächter becomes hysterical, and the crowd is forced to restrain her. Her son tries in vain to console his mother; finally, he just clings to her skirt and cries. Eliezer observes, “He pained me even more than did his mother’s cries.” Pretend that you are Eliezer, and you are telling this story to a reporter after the war. Briefly explain to the reporter why you were troubled by the little boy more than by Mrs. Schächter’s hysterics. Also, explain why, in your opinion, Mrs. Schächter was the only person who had a breakdown on the train.

In complete sentences please tell me if you believe that the conditions will "be good" for these passengers? Why or why not?

Summarize the events that occur in Chapter 2. Remember that summaries are objective and retell the key events from the text. You may use the “Somebody Wanted But So Then” strategy if it helps you.
