The quote ¨Physically, he was awkward as a clown. His waiflike shyness made people smile¨(par. 2). Moishe was a very antisocial person. This quote patrays his personality and shows what kind of person he is inside.

The quote ¨he whispered, and tears, like drops of wax, flowed from his eyes¨(pg. 7). Metaphorically this is saying that his tears flowed in drops off his face. He was deeply upset and defeated in this. He could barely mutter out a sentence.

This picture shows the imagery of how the Jews realized something bad had happened too late. This quote ¨Our eyes opened. Too late¨(pg. 23) refers to the deep intensity of thought when they realized they noticed something horrific too late. They were in shock and felt bad for thinking too late. It was too far in to go back in time.

The quote ¨Tomorrow could be worse yet¨(pg. 23). This shows the mindset that could go on throughout the story. This is a very positive mindset that can help people get through hard times. This could be a theme to show how the Jews got through their hard times and conditions.

A resolution they had to do was lie about their ages. They had to adapt to the new lifestyle accordingly. Lying to survive was what they had to do. I believe this is what they had to do and it worked to keep them alive then it is the right thing to do.

The quote, ¨A weight lifted from my heart¨(pg. 32). This quote means that the stress and pain on him had gone away. Although this quote sounds dark, it is a positive thing that helped him.

The event or rule that makes me feel sick is they had to work or they get killed. Their freedom revolved around working constantly. If they had any faith and hope to ever see their loved ones again they worked so they had a chance in life.

Buna, it was the third concentration camp he had been to. It was described as looking empty and dead. Inmates would wander through the blocks and there were only a few people that were well dressed.

During the bombing of the Buna factory, Elie says, ¨To watch that factory go up in flames-- what revenge¨(pg. 60). Elie was happy because the camp got what it deserved. He was scared for his fathers sake, but his father was at work. This quote makes me happy that the camp got revenge for doing such cruel things to people and finally something bad happens to them.

The story says, ¨Today, this is paradise compared to what the camp was two years ago. Back then, Buna was a veritable hell. No water, no blankets, less soup and bread. At night we slept almost naked and the temperature was thirty below¨(pg. 70). The veterans told them that they should basically be thankful for how it is now because it used to be worse. He is saying they are lucky for how the camp is now. The camp used to be in even worse conditions then it was when Elie was there and that is horrible to think about.

Elie started having a conflict with his faith in God. He was questioning why God would harm these people and families. He said God chose them to be slaughtered and burned and he was wondering why. This made him furious and made him want to not participate in religious things because the reoccurring event of hell would not leave him alone.

The similie, ¨Run as if you had the devil at your heels!¨(pg. 71). The veteran was telling them what was going to happen to them if they did not run. He said they were about to go to the slaughterhouse to be killed. This simile is saying to run as fast as you possibly can from whatever ¨monster¨ is behind you.

The simile, ¨He paid as much attention to us as would a shopkeeper receiving a delivery of old rags¨(pg. 50). The German employee was not as strict as the others and did not watch them work. He says the work was not difficult. This quote means that the German employee did not care for watching them work or making them work too hard he was just a calm man.

The quote, ¨We were stronger than cold and hunger, stronger than the guns and the desire to die, doomed and rootless, nothing but numbers, we were the only men on Earth¨(Wiesel 86). This means to me the loyalty that the men have for themselves. Through everything they have been through and went through they stayed strong and had the desire to live. The strength that the Jews had is indescribable.

When the Jews were on the train together in the freezing cold with no clothes or food it makes me feel terrible for them. Event after event, more and more bad things happen to these innocent people. They were in snowstorms and were crammed onto the train together with no source of heat or food. The sad part about that is that it is not the worst thing that has ever happened to them.

This picture shows how his father felt after being starved and told that he did not need food because he was going to die anyways. The father was so weak and ill that he had no hope to live. His son was the only one trying to keep him alive.
