Gas Chambers

I was surprised like Dominique at the optimism or false hope presented in the story. It seemed at the beginning that the people, including the narrator, thought things were okay since they had food. They were blinded by some false hope maybe. When they finally got to the new camp, they became solomn as if it were a reality check. I'm surprised that they seemed in such high spirits when so much evil surrounded them. Perhaps they just thought they were going to get out. Nope.
