Night Analysis (section 1-2)

"The yellow star? Oh well, what of it? You don't die of it...." (Elie 20).
       The star is more than what this quote gives it. it is a symbol of which person is a Jew and which Jew is faithful to the star. Elie is just a kid so he thinks the star is nothing but the star means alot to the Jews.

"They take me for a madman" (Elie 17).
      Moche is telling Elie about how everyone is mad at him for drawing to much attention. This is when everyuone is in denial about the Holocaust thinking that it will be over soon so nothing will happen to them but they are wrong. Foreshadowing is found in this quote because after they get deported you can see that he is not a madman and is truthful of everything he said.
