Night Elie Wiesel Analysis

“Eight words spoken quietly, indifferently, without emotion. Eight short, simple words. Yet that was the moment when I parted from my mother.” Eliezer, ch.3 Eli says this was obviously very important to him because that was the last time he saw his mother and his sister. He will clearly remember those eight words probably forever.
""Night. No one prayed, that the night would pass quickly. The stars were only sparks of the fire which devoured us. Should that fire die out one day, there would be nothing left in the sky but dead stars, dead eyes." Eliezer, ch.1
" This quote shows the pure terror and fear among the people. This also shows how much they depended on the night and longed for it each day.
"Some talked of God, of his mysterious ways,
Here He is—He is hanging here on this gallows. . . . " Eliezer, ch.4" This depressing scene is one of the lowest points in Eliezer's own faith. But the surprising thing is that even with so little of faith of faith he gets questioned why he he still prays and he thinks of that as a strange question.

They pray before You! They praise your name!" Eliezer, ch.5 Once again we see Eli questioning his faith trying to find hope, and see the brighter side where he sees is death and suffering. This shows Eli's growing independence and and development as a person.
"Twenty bodies were thrown out of our wagon. Then the train resumed its journey, leaving behind it a few hundred naked dead, deprived of burial, in the deep snow of a field in Poland." Eliezer, ch.7 This shows that Eli has in a way given up hope and accepted death. Because I notice that he doesn't seem that perturbed about the twenty deaths.
"We were given no food. We lived on snow; it took the place of bread. The days were like nights, and the nights left the dregs of their darkness in our souls." Eliezer, ch.7 This quote explains the willingness they had to survival and also expresses how much they are all developing and
