On the American side, the USS Yorktown was sunk. Japan, a relatively small island nation with practically no domestic natural resources, was unable to recover from the losses at Midway.

Sophie [7]

Answer: It allows the reader to understand the lingering terror of the journey.

Explanation:

The description of the train's sound in the book titled "Night" by Elie Wiesel was to show what happens before death after there have been a lot of suffering.
