"Never shall I forget the flames which consumed my faith forever".(Wiesel 43). This quote really touched me because, it really shows the lasting impression that world war II left on Elie. Elie is feeling a wide range of emotions during this quote; he is scared, and nervous and he is unsure of what will happen to him next. In this quote he is referencing his Jewish faith and the crematory where they were burning people. The theme of this quote is once you see something like Elie did you never forget it.
"The Kapos beat us once more, but I had ceased to feel any pain from their blows". (Wiesel 45). This quote shows how much pain the Jewish prisoners were but through. Most of the German soldiers would not hesitate to hurt the prisoners. The German people thought they were so much better then the Jewish people, but really they weren't. To me this also shows the hurt Elie is feeling both physically and mentally.

I think both of these quotes had good analysis. You included more than one aspect and had a lot of good supporting quotes.
