Question

Lying down was not an option, nor could we all sit down. We decide to take turns sitting. There was little air. The lucky ones found themselves near the window; they could watch the blooming countryside. After two days travel, thirst became intolerable, as did the heat. There was still some food left. But we never ate enough to satisfy our hunger. Our principle was to economize, to save for tomorrow. Tomorrow could be worse yet.
–Night,
Elie Wiesel

Answer 2

Answer:

I believe the "the lucky ones" means that even though clearly none of the people were lucky, a few got to sit by the window and enjoy the beautiful view. They were the luckiest out of all of them, getting to see the countryside. The sentence "but we never ate enough to satisfy our hunger" shows that the author was struggling with her people during this time, never having enough food to be full. It shows that she had to survive through this hard time.
