P.9 -the yellow star? Oh well‚ what of it? You dont dies of it. . . . (Poor Father! Of what then did you die?)I think that the yellow star that the Jews were forced to wear‚ brought up on page 9 of Night‚ is a very important part of this book.

“We have almost grown accustomed to it; was is the cause of death like cancer and tuberculosis‚ like influenza and dysentery.” (271) Paul had felt like that war was similar to the sickness. I feel like death from war is like sickness because no one knows whether they are going to die or not. When the recruits join war‚ they never know if they will survive or not.
