Quote 1: "My God, Lord of the Universe, give me strength never to do what Rabbi Eliahou's son had done" (Wiesel 97)
Analysis: Elie is praying to a god he no longer believes in, that he would never leave his father to better his chances at living longer. This shows how much animal in stinks are kicking in with the people and now they are forced to do almost ANYthing to survive. Elie wants to fight being an animal and be a human and love his father enough to not leave his father to die.
Quote 2: "He was playing his life. The whole of his life was gliding on the strings- his lost hopes, his charred past, his extinguished future" (Wiesel 100)
Analysis: As Juliek plays his last few songs he will ever play, he shows a bit of rebellion agents his cruel life. I think when the music played it gave some hope which everybody lacked. He died doing what he loved most which the Nazi did not want the Jews to do. They wanted them to suffer and not enjoy anything.
