The selection Ch. 5
This chapter was the hardest for me to read by far. I believe that this chapter really reflected our choice versus chance discussion. I noticed that even during the the selection if you made the choice to act healthier than you were you would live. Even the prisoner that Elie was talking about made the choice to die and be taken during the selection. The largest example of choice versus chance was the opportunity to be moved to another camp during the Red invasion or to stay in the infirmary. Because they thought the would be killed if they stayed, they decided to march to the other camp. Later, they found out that the prisoners in the infirmary were liberated.

Miss Katherine, I love how you made the observation of choice versus chance in chapter 5. The choices that were made by the prisoners were either beneficial or detrimental. But like you said, the choice that Elie made at the end of the chapter was probably the most significant. I wonder if they regretted not staying?
