added. "If anyone goes missing, you will all be shot, like dogs."-Page 24

This quote from the german officer is very important as before this, the worst thing wiesel had to deal with was constant hunger. Wiesel being threatened and compared to a dog probably put him in a different place than before as he is coming to the realization of "I'm at the control of someone else". Even though Wiesel had been forcefully put into this cart in the first place he had not been threatened with death yet. I also think that this showed Wiesel how little sympathy these people had as among the group they threatened were old people showing that they had absolutely no feelings even when threatening old men and women.]]> 2020-11-10 13:43:40 UTC https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/908401285 23waddellm https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/908448722 Another inmate came over to us:
"Satisfied?"
"Yes," someone answered.
"Poor devils, you are heading for the crematorium." -Page 32

What this quote shows is the morality of the people already imprisoned in the camp. This was probably a very scary experience for Wiesel and his father because they had not heard of the ways these people would kill the prisoners yet. When the inmate said this I'm sure that Wiesel and his father were thinking "What? A crematorium? why would we go there?" which is a scary thought as that is a very painful way for someone to die. What makes this even more bone chilling is that the other line that they didn't go into could have been the line for death and they narrowly escaped it. What I think is also on Wiesel and his father's mind is what will happen to the mother of Wiesel and his sisters.]]> 2020-11-10 13:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/908448722 23waddellm https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/908569730 "Bite your lips, little brother...Don't cry.

your hate, for another day, for later. The day will come but not

This quote from a French woman shows that even though everyone at the camp was put under harsh conditions, they can still work together and get through it. Up until now almost all of the people in the camp that Wiesel had met were only really looking out for themselves and at times would even steal from Wiesel. The French woman had been working with Wiesel for a while but they had never exchanged words with one another because of the language barrier but it shows that even though everyone at the camp is different and may not even speak the same language, they are united by their pain and hatred.]]> 2020-11-10 14:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/908569730 23waddellm https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/916037759 "Why, but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled.
Because He caused thousands of children to burn in His mass
graves? Because He kept six crematoria working day and night,
including Sabbath and the Holy Days?"-page 67

This quote obviously means a lot as it is the first time in the story that Wiesel starts to question his own religion. The fact that the religion he followed his entire life is now coming into his own question really shows how hard things are getting in the camp. Wiesel has never questioned his religion before as far as we n
know so him questioning it means that he is starting to lose hope.]]> 2020-11-12 11:42:21 UTC https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/916037759 23waddellm https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/916091269 "One more hour of marching and, at last, the order to halt.
As one man, we let ourselves sink into the snow.
My father shook me. "Not here...Ge t u p ... A little farther

This is one of those quotes that is important to look back on after having read the whole book. This quote is especially crazy to see on a reread knowing that later on, Wiesel's father ends up having the same conversation with Wiesel but the positions are swapped. On a deeper level this quote also shows that the father still loves his son and wants him to survive. The love that the father constantly shows his son is showing that the 2 of them could not survive without each other and then even it shows that they couldn't get through without love and teamwork.]]> 2020-11-12 12:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/916091269 23waddellm https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/916179540 "Come on!

I rubbed his hands, crying:
"Father! Father! Wake up. They're going to throw you outside... "-page 99

This quote is arguably one of the more important quotes in the book as it is the first time we see how close to death's door Wiesel's Father is. Throughout the book up to this point it had been the father that would help out Wiesel in times of need but now the roles are reversed. This quote also shows the growing animosity in the train car as they are headed to another camp. Overall the quote shows that the people we may rely on also aren't invincible and those people could also need our help.]]> 2020-11-12 12:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/916179540 23waddellm https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/916280227 "Father," I said, "you cannot stay here." I pointed to the corpses around him; they too had wanted to rest here.
"I see, my son. I do see them. Let them sleep. They haven't closed an eye for so l o n g... They're exhausted... exhausted..."His voice was tender.-Page 105

This quote is especially bone-chilling as it is pretty much showing that Wiesel's father giving up on his own life. Wiesel says later that it's like he's "fighting with death himself" which means that his father really is wanting rest which is the equivalent to death in this. This quote is also crazy since the father had gotten Wiesel out of a very similar situation, getting him out of the snow. Overall the quote shows that Wiesel's father is really on deaths door and doesn't have much longer.]]> 2020-11-12 13:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/916280227 23waddellm https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/916391993 "Our first act as free men was to throw ourselves onto the provisions. That's all we thought about. No thought of revenge, or of parents. Only of bread."

This quote shows how hard the prisoners have had it up until now, they don't ask about their families, they don't ask where they are going, they just want food. The inmates here have been starved to death and all they can think of is food, it really shows how brutal the camp was as the camp had stopped feeding them. They also talked about revenge and how they don't think of it which shows really how hungry they are. Overall this quote just shows how awful the camp really was.]]> 2020-11-12 13:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/23waddellm/mih88bxgtrznh861/wish/916391993
