"what madman could be playing the violin here, at the brink of his own grave?" (wiesel 100)
When elie was thinking this I couldnt help but to agree with him. this made me question if the enjoyment of playing his violin was worth the risk of being punished by the SS gaurdes. Juliek proves his deep love for his music from the first time he was introduced all the way untill he died.
"our eyes grew weary of scouring the horizon for the liberating train" (Wiesel 102)
This quote shows that the prisioners hope for freedom. We were told that the allies were coming to defeat the germans and the Jews still had hope of this happening to them. the allies were obviously close and that was the reason that they were moving to another camp so they still had quite a bit of hope that they would be saved

section 3 quote analysis
"what do you think? do you suppose that we came here for our own pleasure?" (wiesel 39).
I believe that this quote shows this mans distress for his current situation at the concentaration camp. It also shows that jhes quite daring but saying that to the S.S soldiers.
"never shall I forget those flameswhich consumed my faith forever" ( Wiesel 43).
this quote shows a lot about Elie now by showing that since hes gotten to the concentration camp. During his first day his religious faith views started to decline dramaticaly.

Night quotes section 1
"It was the first time I had ever seen him weep. I never imagined that he could. (Wiesel 28)
I believe that this quote shows a lot about Elie's father and what he was going through emotionly. It was obvious that it would have taken some toll on him but up untill this point I never would have guessed how much. He must have ben feeling a great deal of pain from him refuseing to start over wth a new life all the way up untill he had to leave his house with no way of knowing if he would be able to return; It would have had to take a lot in order fora man to break down in tears in front of his family like that.
"Their attitude twards their host's were distant, but polite.(Wiese 19)
This quote made me question if the officers themselves knew what they were doing there in the first place and if they had the same intention to do what they later did. knowing that they hated the Jew and they had every intention to do them harm. This Quote has been very contradictive to me and made me wonder why they would be so polite tif they were just going to be sending them to their deaths.
