If that was your baby being thrown up into the air being shot at for practice, what could you do about it? How could you stop it? Well, you couldn't stop it or do anything about it, and that is an extremely helpless feeling. That you cannot help your new born baby from being shot at.

Chap. 1 Quote 2: Page 6

"I continued to devote myself to my studies."
This is amazing to me, how all of this going on in his life and he still decides to focus on his studies. That's a devoted student.

"Faster! Faster! Get on with you, lazy swine!..."
This is inhumane. People treated with such disrespect and such carlessness. It makes me sick to think about it.

Chap. 2 quote 4: page 18

"I knew her well. A quiet woman with tense, burning eyes..."
The fact that he knows people on this train car, and how he knows their story, and how they USED to live. Now he sees these people in such horrible conditions and doesn't know to react but only with silence.

Chap. 3 Quote 5: page 30

"Warning. Danger of Death. Mockery: was there a single place..."
This is clearly ironic. A sign on the door saying, "Warning. Danger of Death." Why would they put up a sign like that when it's all around them? He is saying, is there a place where there isn't death. To answer his question, in my opinion, there isn't.

Chap. 3 quote 6: Page 33

"Our new head was savage...the good days were over."
Block 17 got a new head because their last one was too, "humane". What he is saying is, the good days are over, in other words, it about to be a lot worse and more severe for their working days. This is very sad, it's worse as it is to be even be there. But it's even more worse when you get abused and under feed, etc., for the reason of, "just because", basically.

Chap. 4 Quote 7: Page 41

"...pulled out my crowned tooth, with the aid of a rusty spoon."
The officials are being extremely hard and harsh on the people. Making a little boy take his crowned tooth out of his mouth, not only that but with a rusty spoon. That isn't right and that's terrible!!

Chap. 4 quote 8: page 47

"...He was still alive when I passed in front of him."
This is extremely harsh and very horrible for Eliezer to see this happening to a boy who is alive hanging on a rope, struggling for air. But, for Eliezer, he is used to seeing death. Death is all around him. It's normal, and just a regular thing to him.

"And soon a terrible word was circulating-selection."

Chap. 5 quote 10: page 59

"I've got more faith in Hitler...He's the only one who kept his promises."
This is true, but it's hard to admit because Hitler is a horrible man. But he did keep his promises that he made to the Jewish people.

Chap. 7 quote 1: page 75

"A hundred of us had got into the wagon...among them, my father and I."
Eliezer and his father have had each other by each others side through everything. I believe the reason why both of them are still alive is because they motivate one another everyday to remind them to have faith and everything will be okay one day.
