Night quote analysis (part 5-6)

" In the depths of my heart I felt a great void" (Wiesel 76.)
         This shows how Elie is broken down so far that he doesn't even pray any more. He has no more faith or belief. The Germans had not only taken their homes, ripped their family apart, and forced them to live in concentration camps but they also strip them of their religion. A lot of the Jewish keep faith and continue to pray. Thinking things will get better, while others had giving up. Wondering if there was a God, why would he let that happen to them.

  "I was silent." (Wiesel 81)
      This quote really shows how frightened and scares Elie was at that moment, even if he didn't say it. He becomes worried, knowing that his father probably wouldn't make it past this round. Even though he is silent he really is thinking a million different things. This shows how hopeless Elie had became.

Night, quote analysis part 3

"Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and soul and turned my dreams to dust. " (Wiesel 43) 
         In these lines a lot of hyperbol is being used. "Those moments that murdered my God and my soul"(Wiesel 43) hyperbole is used when Wiesel talks about his God and soul being murdered.  There is also a metaphor, as seen in the last part of the sentence. Wiesel is comparing his dreams to useless, and worthless dust that drifts away with the slightest of breezes. 
      This shows how the Jewish Community, even though they wanted something, anything, to look forward to and hold on too. They just wanted something to show them life isn't pointless.

"Within a few seconds, we ceased to be men "(Wiesel 45) 
      The way the Jews were treated were terrible, they were treated as though they weren't even human beings. This is shown in the quote, when they they " ceased to be men " they had given up all hope for it ever being different, they knew it was do this or die.
      I believe the author wanted the readers to understand how lost, hopeless, and degraded these men, women, and children were.

Night, quote analysis part

" I heard a jew behind me heave a sigh 'What can we expect? ' he said ' It's war..."(Wiesel 16)
When the Jew talks about war it is an example of foreshadowing, because its leading to the fact that the Jewish community knows that bad things are going to happen to them and that safety isn't in their near future. 
This relates to the big picture of the story because it shows hold the older, and wiser of the Jewish Community already knew that it wasn't going tp get better for them. This also kind of like what Wiesel is trying to get across to his readers, that even though the Jewish Community has hope, most of them know that it is false hope. This is important because it helps show how the Jewish Community was treated.
"To the very last moment, a germ of hope stayed alive in our heads" (Weisel 25)
This shows how the members of the Jewish Community, held on to hope, even if they knew that clouds would never clear up for them. The author uses the word Germ to stress the point that hope was fighting to stay in themselves and infecting them to pray and wish things would turn out alright.
This relates to the bigger picture, because it shows how the strength the Jewish people had.
