Night Reading Assignment 3

Quote:  "At the place of assembly, surrounded by the electrified barbed wire, thousands of silent Jews gathered, their faces stricken" (Wiesel 73).

Analysis: The word stricken means deeply affected, as with grief, fear, or other emotions. I love how they use this work to show how the so called "prisoners" were so scared and fulled with sorrow. They are afraid of what God, if they still believe, will lead them to next. 

Quote: "It gave me orders, and I automatically obeyed them. I hated it.  Whenever I dreamed of a better world, I could only imagine a universe with no bells. "

Analysis: I especially like that the author says, " Whenever I dreamed of a better world.... " . It shows how the boy usually dreams of a better world.  And escaping a place where he would freely be able to be a kid again and not have to be afraid of anything and everything he does. The paragraph puts so much stress on how hard it was to live during this time. And even the smallest things can make you so scared. No matter how much they wanted to get out of there, they just had to push through to the next day.

 QUOTE: "The cherished objects we had brought with us thus far were left behund in the train, and with them, at last, our illusions" (Wiesel 38).
ANALYSIS: This quote is uses word that can bring mixed emotions. Especially, when the author uses the word, " illusions".  It is bringing in feelings that they were giving up.  Also, showing that they don't think they will ever see those items again.
QUOTE: "Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky" (Wiesel 43).

ANALYSIS: Eliezer is beginning to realize the place he really is just like Moche the Beadle said in his stories. Eliezer also feels deep down sorrow and sadness for all those innocent children who died for something that wasn't really wrong at all.

1. "And when the finished their work, the Gestapo began theirs. Without passion, without haste, they slaughtered their prisoners" (Wiesel 16).
ANALYSIS: (#3) This quote uses a lot of strong words that relate to the main theme of the story. For example, the words haste and slaughtered brings powerful meanings. The author is trying to show how hateful the guards were to all the prisoners. And how hard is was back then to be Jewish.

2. "It was from that moment that I began to hate them, and my hate is still the only link between us today.  They were out first oppressors.  They were the first of the faces of hell and death" (Wiesel 28/29)
ANALYSIS: (#1) This quote shows how all the prisoners felt toward the guards and police. They describe them almost as devils. Especially when they say, "They were the first of the faces of hell and death" (Wiesel 29).  It showed how much the people felt hatred to all of them for doing this to an innocent group of people with a different religion.
