"Join us today at Eharmony.com where we can find the perfect match for you."
When you hear these words you soon start to think that love is possible if you match the same info and hobbies as others. What about those who do match up? Even if they are to meet, would they soon love each other instantly? Or would one small annoyance or habit set the date in flames? I think that there is no true love at first sight, even for the luckiest, hottest, or saddest person out there. If you want to meet someone, the man or woman has to make the move. I believe in this fact due to one character who I saw in the movie Hitch. In this movie, instead of denying the fact that he will never find the one, the main character gets off his butt and goes to find someone whether it's in a bar or on a website. After setting others up with matches, he soon finds someone who he loves. Then he finally takes the risk on commiting all the way with her, and ends up living a pleasant life with her.
So I guess what I'm saying is that you could wait around and pray to God that someone will come along. Or you can get up, meet with different people, and possibly get rejected after have the worst date ever; but if you take the time and interest, maybe you'll find that one person.

Pages 1-10: The young jew Maimodes is looking for master. while the book is talking about a man who seems to be sad but pleasant master that made himself invisible from disrupting others or burdening them with his presence. the book is also mentioning and introducing the jewish town of Sighet. Maimodes is talking about his genourouse father who cares more about the town than his family. The father is one of the leaders and he hardly shows any sign of emotion.there town seems to be a few miles away from the war that is happening because the army is starting to warn therm that they may have to leave there homes.
Pages 11-20
now it apears that Maimodes family and the whole town in fact has been asked or forced to leave there nice town. the war appears to be moving near them so they are forced to pack up at small valubles they want and leave. the jews are still in shock that they are leaving at such a late time to be placed in a ghetto. Maimodes family might have a chance at not leaving but they still had to pack up and throw out there stuff in case they were next on going to the ghetto. it turns out that there family is now next and the family is suppose to march quetly and fast to a safer place while the hungarian police escort them
Pages 20-30
As Elli, his family and over 80 jews make it to a safe place, they are soon immediately forced into a compressed train cart. During the first few hours it was quiet and every one was sitting silently. soon people started to flirt with each other for the only means of happiness. during the ride the delirious madam Schafter who kept on hinting towards the always scared of fire. it soon took the other passengers in the cart to beat and tie her up to keep her quiet. After reaching the town of Auschwitz every one was dehydrated and starving, with out there memories or jewelry's to keep. Upon arrival every one was immediately take by officers and split into two groups separating the men and women. it seems that the german police here are trying to save and hid some jews by changing there age and letting them avoid a horrible death.
Pages 30-40
Elli has now been separated from his mom and sister. He now is with his dad and a few other unlucky men that have all been given new ages. Now after being examined by some troops, they have now been sent to a concentration camp in Auschwitz. After being separated into occupation categories the jews are now all sent to work. it Appears that through out the orientation of the camp that Elli has a burning unbelievable rage inside him from all thats happened. Soon after his father went up to a gypsie to ask were the bathroom is but instead ended up being beaten senseless. it seems that these troops were here to use them as slaves in exchange for not killing them.
Pages 40-50
It seems that Ellie has now been moved to a more merciful concentration camp. His pleads were heard and was able to stay moderately close to his father. Though the guards there are nice, they will not laziness or slacking off for jobs they were assigned or there will be punishments. in the end though the last of his Jewish memories were taken away after his gold tooth was pulled out and his shoes were replaced and not bargained with. Though Elie is Jewish it looks like he's starting to question or believe a tiny bit in god for mercy and hope that he will not die.
Pages 50-60
Its been a few weeks since Ellie has arrived at the camp and now is working to get small rations to fill in his boned skin. The leaders or Idek seems to be the worse of the officers at the camp. To save his but and show fear to Elli he whipped him for seeing his self with a half nude Polish girl. It seems that the american forces or opposing enemy has started marching and getting further into German territory, since bombs went off one night at the camp.
Pages 70-80
Elli and the whole camp seem to dwindle in there faith to god. Akimbo has gave up all life he had and offered his neck to the execution. Elli seems to be more worried about his father since he thought that they would die. The condition and weather of the camp seems to be becoming worse then hell. its consistently having blizzards and ice winds that is tearing through the poor clothing and skin of the campers. lastly Elli is now in the hospital and has just had an operation on is frozen swollen leg. it appears the operation was a success and he has avoided the chopping block for now.
Pages 80-90
All the jews are now on the move leaving there concentration camp to go and find shelter far away. With the icy cold wind in front and the thought of being trampled to death by many other prisoners behind, Elie could only continue running on nearly no energy with his father. They finally made it to an abandon factory that was in poor, cold condition. If any of the Jews were to fall asleep on the freezing cold snow it would mean that they're sacrificing there lives to death. Many people are dead and the numbers just keep dropping and soon it will just be Ellie and his father.
Pages 90-100

Pages 101-109
Elli's father was in the final stages of Death there was no more hope, help, or miracle that could deny his inevitable demise. The bunk mates that were next to Chlomo soon started beating him and taking his rations of food, but still there was nothing that could be done to help him no matter how much he pleaded. Ellie was soon given advice from a guard to think for him self, instead of the lost father. Elli despite the fact it was true still couldn't think about it. the next day Chlomo was dead; he was taken late in the morning to the incinerator. Now it was soon going to be the whole camp that would die. Luckily the Jews managed to dis obey this order to there executions and hold out for ten long, starving days. On the tenth day there was gunfire and explosives going off. it was the resistance and they had taken over the base. Ellie spent the next few weeks eating and in the hospital. lastly he got up and looked at the cold stare coming from his mirror.

Pages 1-10: The young jew Maimodes is looking for master. while the book is talking about a man who seems to be sad but pleasant master that made himself invisible from disrupting others or burdening them with his presence. the book is also mentioning and introducing the jewish town of Sighet. Maimodes is talking about his genourouse father who cares more about the town than his family. The father is one of the leaders and he hardly shows any sign of emotion.there town seems to be a few miles away from the war that is happening because the army is starting to warn therm that they may have to leave there homes.
Pages 11-20
now it apears that Maimodes family and the whole town in fact has been asked or forced to leave there nice town. the war appears to be moving near them so they are forced to pack up at small valubles they want and leave. the jews are still in shock that they are leaving at such a late time to be placed in a ghetto. Maimodes family might have a chance at not leaving but they still had to pack up and throw out there stuff in case they were next on going to the ghetto. it turns out that there family is now next and the family is suppose to march quetly and fast to a safer place while the hungarian police escort them
Pages 20-30
As Elli, his family and over 80 jews make it to a safe place, they are soon immediately forced into a compressed train cart. During the first few hours it was quiet and every one was sitting silently. soon people started to flirt with each other for the only means of happiness. during the ride the delirious madam Schafter who kept on hinting towards the always scared of fire. it soon took the other passengers in the cart to beat and tie her up to keep her quiet. After reaching the town of Auschwitz every one was dehydrated and starving, with out there memories or jewelry's to keep. Upon arrival every one was immediately take by officers and split into two groups separating the men and women. it seems that the german police here are trying to save and hid some jews by changing there age and letting them avoid a horrible death.
Pages 30-40
Elli has now been separated from his mom and sister. He now is with his dad and a few other unlucky men that have all been given new ages. Now after being examined by some troops, they have now been sent to a concentration camp in Auschwitz. After being separated into occupation categories the jews are now all sent to work. it Appears that through out the orientation of the camp that Elli has a burning unbelievable rage inside him from all thats happened. Soon after his father went up to a gypsie to ask were the bathroom is but instead ended up being beaten senseless. it seems that these troops were here to use them as slaves in exchange for not killing them.
Pages 40-50
It seems that Ellie has now been moved to a more merciful concentration camp. His pleads were heard and was able to stay moderately close to his father. Though the guards there are nice, they will not laziness or slacking off for jobs they were assigned or there will be punishments. in the end though the last of his Jewish memories were taken away after his gold tooth was pulled out and his shoes were replaced and not bargained with. Though Elie is Jewish it looks like he's starting to question or believe a tiny bit in god for mercy and hope that he will not die.
Pages 50-60
Its been a few weeks since Ellie has arrived at the camp and now is working to get small rations to fill in his boned skin. The leaders or Idek seems to be the worse of the officers at the camp. To save his but and show fear to Elli he whipped him for seeing his self with a half nude Polish girl. It seems that the american forces or opposing enemy has started marching and getting further into German territory, since bombs went off one night at the camp.
Pages 70-80
Elli and the whole camp seem to dwindle in there faith to god. Akimbo has gave up all life he had and offered his neck to the execution. Elli seems to be more worried about his father since he thought that they would die. The condition and weather of the camp seems to be becoming worse then hell. its consistently having blizzards and ice winds that is tearing through the poor clothing and skin of the campers. lastly Elli is now in the hospital and has just had an operation on is frozen swollen leg. it appears the operation was a success and he has avoided the chopping block for now.
Pages 80-90
All the jews are now on the move leaving there concentration camp to go and find shelter far away. With the icy cold wind in front and the thought of being trampled to death by many other prisoners behind, Elie could only continue running on nearly no energy with his father. They finally made it to an abandon factory that was in poor, cold condition. If any of the Jews were to fall asleep on the freezing cold snow it would mean that they're sacrificing there lives to death. Many people are dead and the numbers just keep dropping and soon it will just be Ellie and his father.
Pages 90-100
Though he is passed out and not moving Ellie will not give up the fact that his father may soon pass away. He now is in a great panic to show the other troops that he is not dead yet. Now them and a fast depleting amount of jews are heading off in a train to the middle of Germany. during the ride Elli relives the savagery weak people have when there last source of hope is in between them all. It seems that more and more people are giving up on living and soon Chlomo's friend Meir Katz might be next. As Elli put it there is a contagion of death that is spreading across the carts. They now have arrived in Buchenwald, now only time will tell what will happn
