Night Quotes 4 :33 *even though we turn it in

"Pressed up against the others in an effort to keep out the cold" (Wiesel 103). This is kind of ironic on how they are leaving in a vechical and is going somewhere, they don't kow. When they were first going to the camp (the first one) it was a bad thing to be huddled togeather, because lack of air, but now they're leaving the camp in Buna and their huddeld togeather to stay warm. "Lying don was out of the question, and we were only abel to sit by deciding to take turns" (Wiesel 32). At first he was complaining about it being crowded but now since they are all smaller and it's colder they want the warmth to stay warm not cold.

"'I can't go on. . . . This is the end. . . . I'm going to die here. . . .'" (Wiesel 110).  Those were the words spoken to Elizer from his dad. Since coming to the consentration camp and being seperated from his mom and sisters, Elie has wanted to stay by his dad's side threw out the whole time. He wanted his dad to be in the same block as him, work with him and many more exaples. He truely cares for his dad. To hear something like this from your father at a time of despare and fearfullness of dieing soon, it's shocking. I think that in Elie's head he understands that his dad won't make it, because they all suffered too much. I belive that Elie's dad is the reason why Elie still trys hard for both of them, so he doesn't have to loose him!



"'You  at least, have some mercy on me. . . .' Have mercy on him! I'm his only son!"(Wiesel 114). Elie's dad's been abused since day one in Buna's consintration camp, but when he got sick it was worse he couldn't do anything for himself elie did it for him. So to show mercy on him was enevedable, Eliezer's been doing that threw helping him out. He may feel the need to do it since they are family member's he's his dad. Personally if I was Elie, knowing that my dad would die soon I would do the same thing show mercy, let him die happy. Kind of like what Gorge did to Lennie in Of Mice and Men. Both Elie and George allowed the ones who were close to them die happily. Of course Elie's dad was happy with the mercy being showen to him.


  "The look in his eyes, as they stared into mine, has never left me." (Wiesel 119). His eyes are Eliezer's eye's from what he adored at the camp, loosing his family and yet surviving it all. The eyes that stare back at him are the eyes of a survivor. The last part of the quote "has never left me" shows that he can still feel/see the way he looked threw his eyes from that day! When he says "his eyes" he means the refelction of himself in the mirror, he saw how he really was, what he really looked like. His livlyness, happyness and much more is gone with the lives of his family so of course his eyes were different since the human eye can reveal alot about a person. His revealed to me how he changed, loosing his family, becoming ill, thinking that one day he'll die!  To me his eyes show the life he had in the consentration camps not in Transylvania where he spent his childhood at, or the ghetto's. He changed!
