1.) As for me, I liked his wide, dreamy eyes, gazing off into the distance. The author uses this to show that he often keeps to himself, probably thinking. (Pg. 3)

2.)Infants were tossed into the air and used as targets for the machine guns. Showing the ruthlessness and pure disdain the Germans had for the Jewish. (Pg. 6)

3.)German Soldiers -- with their steel helmets and their death's-head emblem. The author uses this to show the fear instilled by the Germans (Pg. 9)

1.) Freed of normal constraints. some of the young let go of their inhibitions and, under cover of darkness, caressed one another, without any thought of others. Wiesel uses this to show the compassion of the children and the pure fear instilled in the people in the train car. (Pg. 23)

2.)It was as though she was possessed by an evil spirit. Mrs. Schachter had lost her mind,  she could no longer handle the thought of being shipped away from her home. (Pg. 25)

3.)We stared at the flames in the darkness. A wretched stench floated in the air. The wretched stench was the burning flesh of the fellow Jews. (Pg. 28)

In a fraction of a second I could see my mother, my sisters move to the right. Tzipora was holding my mother's hand. I saw them walking further and further away...I didn't know that this was the moment in time and the place where I was leaving my mother and Tzipora forever. (Pg. 29)

Had this happened to me, I do not know how I'd react, however reading this makes me feel like I would not be able to cope with the thought of losing my parents or siblings.

Page 34, Wiesel uses anaphora when he repeats the word Never 8 times consecutively. This is to place emphasis on the horror he experienced whilst smelling and watching fellow human being burned at the hands of other humans.

At the start of the third week, our Blockälteste was removed; he was judged as too humane.(Pg. 44)
This was to prove a point. The Germans did this to show their power, and hatred towards the Jewish

Elie got to work in the electrical warehouse which was well known for easy work, and it was inside.

Bite your lips, little brother... Don't cry. Keep your anger, your hate, for another day, for later. The day will come but not now... Wait. Clench your teeth and wait...
Pg. 53
This stands out because later in his life after liberation. He met the woman who told him these words, the words that had helped inspire him and help him to understand that if he just keeps his head down and listens, his chances of survival are far greater.

"I decided  to give my father lessons in marching in step, in command: Left, Right! and my father would try" (Pg. 55)

Elie saw that his father did not know how to march in step, and was being punished and beaten because of it. Knowing that he could do nothing but watch his father be beaten, he decided to fix the root cause and teach his father to march.

" What are you, My God? I thought angrily. How do you compare this stricken mass gathered to affirm to you their faith, their anger, their defiance" ( Pg. 66)

This line of thought that Elie has shows that he is losing faith in his religion. He who stood out from most children for his religious ideals, was losing faith in said religion. This is a powerful symbol of the hopelessness many felt during the Holocaust.

The Blockalteste appeared, his face reflecting our collective weariness. " It all went well. Don't worry. Nothing will happen to anyone. Not to anyone..." (Pg. 72)

I wonder why he would lie to the prisoners, is it to keep their moral higher or to prevent them from panicking?

The Bell regulated Elie's life. Showing that he had conformed to the conditions of the camps. Elie's humanity had been stripped so far that his whole life revolved around a bell.

"Though I tried to put it out of my mind, I couldn't help thinking that there were two of us: my body and I. And I hated that body." (Pg. 85)

Elie is constantly battling his mental and physical state. While he knows he must keep going his body is telling him to stop.

"Suddenly, the evidence overwhelmed me: there was no longer any reason to live, any reason to fight." (Pg. 99)

This is what Elie is realizing that his father no longer wants to live or fight. I feel like it is selfish for Elie to make his father live, to make him suffer any longer. I am thinking this because his father at this point would be in his mid to late 50's and his body would not be able to handle the constant stress.

The prisoners had seen so much death and been through so much horror that the crematorium chimneys no longer phased them. " Very close to us stood the tall chimney of the crematorium's furnace. It no longer impressed us. It barely drew our attention" (Pg. 104)

"Our first action as free men was to throw ourselves onto the provisions. That's all we thought about. No thoughts of revenge, or of parents. Only of bread."(Pg. 115)

This shows how starved they were. The lack of emotion from starvation and over working turned them from humans to feral being who threw themselves at the food.
