In part IV of night Eliezer has a gold crown and he is sent to the dentists to get his gold crown taken out. The gold crown is worth a lot in the camp. It can buy you food or days off of work inside the camp. Eliezer stalls on getting his crown taken out until one of the polish workers there figures out and beats Eliezer and his dad into submission so he could get the crown. Later on in the chapter the camp goes into a lock down so all the guards and workers go into there cabins until its over and someone leaves soup out. One of the people in the camp sneaks out during the lock down and eats the soup and is hanged for it. The rest of part IV talks about how people are hanged and how they affect Eliezer. That is where the “That night, the soup tasted of corpses?” and the , “I remember that on that evening, the soup tasted better than ever.” come from. The deaths affect Eliezer differently. If its someone he knows better the soup doesn't taste very good and if he didn't know the person very well the soup would taste better than if he knew the person.The soup in the story represents his attitude and his feeling toward the deaths of other people in the camp. At this point Eliezer has lost a lot of his feelings after being in the camp for a while. He is now tougher mentally than he was before he came. The camp really changed him.
