Night Quote Analysis Assignment

Section 1 &2 ( pages 13-37 )
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.

In the first analysis you used a lot of detail and you also chose a quote that had diction which is a really good quote choice. For the second quote you also used a lot of detail also.
