Quote: " I did not move. What had happened to me? My father had just been struck, before my very eyes, and I had not flickered an eyelid. I had looked and said nothing." (Wiesel 48).
Analysis: The fear that he experienced, wounded him like he would have been the one to get struck. The cruelty of the prisoners themselves toward other prisoners shows that they have forgotten who they are.
Quote: " I walked on with my father and the other men. And I did not know that in that place, at that moment, I was parting from my mother and Tzipora forever." (Wiesel 39).
Analysis: The pain Elie felt as he understood, the sorrow he had knowing that he was being separated from his comforter, his mother. I couldn't do without my mother she knows how to make the situation appear pleasant.

I like the quotes you chose. You did a really good job with the analysis.
I tought the idea of the first quote was that Elie was notbfeelingnhisvfatgers pain, but that he could not do anything about it and he knew that. The fear for his en life over ruled the fear and respect for his own fathers. This shows how scarred and how serous the situation the family is in. Good choice of quote though.
The second quote is good.
