1. What really bothered me was the description of Miriam's urine wetting Jacob's pants. It was a bit repulsive that there wasn't anything for the people to use to relieve themselves. I'm sure anything would have been better than wetting yourself. Its really humiliating and degrading. The whole ordeal was not very humane.
2. I wonder where these people were coming from. What was their life like before? Did Jacob and Miriam come from the same ghetto, but never meet each other? It would be interesting to know these things.
3. The connections I made were that, often when people are going through the same situation, they form a sort of bond. Everyone still pulls together in a time of need.

I liked your word choice, and I agree with what you said. Your answer to number two made me think about it, as well. And it's a cool thing to wonder about, too.
