Found Poem-Camille Butler

Endless Walking
Every step was one closer to death
One after the other
We marched
Morning and night
Our desire for life ran away from us
Just as silently as we walked
Corpses everywhere
No one cared
We kept marching
It was hard to stay conscious
To not give in to death
We got closer to something
But no one knew where we were going
It was hard not to get trampled
Kicked and whipped by the icy wind

But we did not give up

    Your poem was written very well, I like how you talked about the death marches because this was a big part of the Holocaust. When I read your poem it made me feel like I was on the death marches as well. I also liked how you made it clear that they did not want to just stop trying now because they didn't know if something better was coming after this horrible time.

In Night it is obvious that Elie is losing his faith. It had become apparent in the first few chapters of this book that Elie was questioning his faith, but now he has almost completely lost it. "But look at these men whom You have betrayed, allowing them to be tortured, slaughtered, gassed, and burned, what do they do? They pray before You! They praise Your name!" (Wiesel 68). "As I swallowed my ration of soup, I turned that act into a symbol of rebellion, of protest against Him" (Wiesel 69). Elie was once a strong believer in his God, but now he is having a battle with himself that is challenging everything that he was raised to believe. Then again, you can't blame him. Think about everything him and all the other Jews have gone through. If I was in his situation I would definitely feel the same.

Never I will never forget The first night May 1944 That ruined my life forever The first time I entered A concentration camp   The first time I witnessed the flames The first time I witnessed death   Someone being hung Children and adults Scared faces Everyday I thought to myself Will I ever get out of here Why would my god My eternal master Let something this horrible Happen to us Jews

Found: Guide my venturing in this world, A world full of secrets, A world unknown Where hope is lost, And darkness is found Secrets and sadness Sigh of a child Eyes full yet empty Empty of light A smile in the distance A flickering light From it came life and strength In the light was a smile From the smile found a prayer And there the prayer found me
