I think I was right Monica! Those people that Elisha killed really do affect him. He does care. I talked about this in a previous post, about how deep down he does care about the people he killed and is not numb as he says he is. It is apparent in chapter 5 when the people he killed appear to him in a dream. I bet that forgetting a death is a hard thing to do. It is shown in so many other books and movies too. I can't imagine what it is like to take a life. Can you? I feel like it would scar me for a long time, like it did Elisha.
In this scene I am also seeing the real Elisha come out. He doesn't want to be a killer. This dream tells himself that this is true, when the child says that people are there to execute them because Elisha couldn't do it himself. It's a weird thing to think about. This man had killed many people, it would seem like it would just be a normal thing by now. But it isn't. Everything that he has ever killed does affect Elisha. I really feel bad for him. It is especially hard because the Night series is a true story. This story makes you have a really strong connection with the main characters. I feel like I know Elisha, and I know his pain. It breaks my heart reading these books. These are the hardest books that I have had to read. It makes you think about your life. About how you have it so much better then everyone else has it. It makes you a more caring person. It opens up your eyes to the real world.
