7. A Good Day

“Even our work seems light, with the prospect of four hot, dense pints waiting for us in the hut.” (p.76)

The chapter contains information about the rations and how this increase of rations gave such joy and hope inside the minds of the Jews. Through this, a positive attitude could be made among the Jews. Another thing that brought forth this positive attitude was the sunshine. Previously in other chapters, the sunshine was seen as something dreadful and also something that gave hope at the same time. In a negative attitude, the sunshine was something dreadful, a traitor, which brought them closer to death at dawn. On the other hand, with a positive attitude, the sunshine was something of hope, as the sky and sun were not restricted from the Jews. The limitless aspect of the sky and sun allowed the people in the concentration camps to grow a sense of hope that would help them last, at least until their death.
