Mon. Nov. 4 Dehumanization

Today, you handed in your commas worksheet. You then wrote a five minute timed activity in which you addressed the following: What examples of dehumanization at work are present in the first three chapters of this novel?"
We then discussed the answers.
Our discussion led to the following examples:

Dehumanization in Night

 ·                     Ghettos (crowded, disease, hygiene issues, clean water).

·                     Losing wealth (means lack of food, lack of soap, shampoo, health care).
·                     Separated by gender (destruction of family units, societal connections).
·                     Cattle-cars (animal transportation!!!!; less than proper animal space and sanitary conditions)
·                     Shot like dogs (similes to animals take away the sense of man).
·                     Wear something that identifies a group.
·                     Curfew
·                     Tattoo of number (no name)
·                     Shaving off hair
·                     Clothing
·                     Beaten without consequence
I also handed you a list of glossary terms found in Chapters One to Three, which we discussed.
The students also handed in their Chapter Two answers.
