Quote #1
"A wind of calmness and reassurance blew through our house" (Wiesel16).
Wiesel uses "wind" to describe a calm feeling that had settled in the house months after foreign Jews had been sent away. The way that the author introduces the feeling as a breeze of emotion, makes the reader feel calm as well.
Quote #2
"Fire! I can see a fire! I can see a fire!" (Wiesel33)
The fact that the old woman can "see a fire" when there is none foreshadows the event of the cartload of Jews arriving in camp. When they arrived, the Jews saw fire from the chimney of the crematorium.
