Need help with dis it Night section 4

By pretending to be sick.

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night" recounts the horrendous experience of Elie and the Jews during the Nazi regime. This event also became one of the most horrific genocides of world history.

When the prisoners were 'checked' and observed, those with gold teeth were made to visit the camp dentist to get them extracted. Though Elie was also in possession of a gold tooth, he told the dentist that "[he doesn’t] feel well" and that he is suffering from fever. This made the dentist delay the extraction. Through his wit, luck, and compassion from the dentist, he was able to save his gold tooth from getting extracted.

the word that best matches the meaning of the expression "went to the big ocean" is died.

the goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. the "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. he could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.
