Night Section 2 Cattle Cars and Visions

In section 2 of Night Elie Wiesel is lead into a cattle car and with other fellow Jews to an unknown destination. As they continue to travel on the train tracks in the stuffy car one of the women oh the car begins to scream and hallucinate. She begins to scream about fire and pain and most belleive she has gone mad due to being seperated from her family. She continues to scream to the point that to subdue the mad woman the men of the cattle car tie her up and leave her in a corner with her son. Eventually she breaks free from her bonds she begins screaming and flailing of the coming fire. The men then have grown tired of this and begin to beat her to keep her quiet. Eventually after a couple beatings she stops screaming and becomes distant and silent and the rest of the ride is quiet. When they finally arrive to their destination the woman begins to scream again "The Fire!" and as the Jews look out the small window they can see the flames rise from the chimney with the smell of burning human flesh. Afterwards she returns to her distant silent self and the chapter comes to a close as Elie realizes their destination, Ausvwitchs. By Aquiles Heredia and Eddie Pelayo
