"Our terror was about to burst the sides of the train" (Wiesel 34). I have never been in a situation like the main character in the book Night is experiencing at the moment of this quote. A situation where you and a lot of friends and family are huddled in a train very scared, hungry, and thirsty, this type of feeling was very common during world war II. To me this quote is about the main character realizing that the scariest thing of all is not knowing what lays ahead for you.
" You'd have done to have hanged yourselves where you were then come here"(Wiesel 39). What gives you the right to talk to another person like that, do you think your better then everyone else? Those are the thoughts that ran through my head when I read that quote. My heart went out to all those Jewish people in a new place, scared, thirsty, and hungry being treated like dirt by a German officer. This quote opened my eyes to how bad world war II really was. I also think that if you had just arrived at the camp and an officer said that to you, you would feel really scared, I know I would.

The comments made on the first were written well. The analysis only ofcuses on one topic. I think you could have broken down different elements of the quote.
The second quote and analysis is also written well. The length and detail are also good.Just do the same thing as the first paragraph by add another element like forshadowing or something like that.
I think you did very good in putting what you thought, the only thing is I think you should have put what you think the character felt when they said id. I also think you should have put who said the quote.
