Night quote analysis sections 5 and 6

Quote #1
 "But why should I bless Him?..Because He had thousands of children burned in His pits? Because He kept six crematories working night and day? Because in His great might He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna and so many factories of death?" (Wiesel 74)

  The Jews were worshipping God on the New Year and thanking God as Wiesel was thinking this. Wiesel wondered why he should thank God when He had killed so many people. Wiesel begins to get angry with God, blaming him for everything that the Jews have been through. Most people can relate with Wiesel in this quote because they have been angry with God at one point in their lives because of tradgedires that they think God is bringing to them

Quote #2
 " I shall always rememeber that smile. From which world did it come from." (Wiesel 96)

     As Wiesel is trying to warn a man about sleeping in the snow, the man smiles and then goes back to sleep. The Jews saw hardly any smiles in the camp, and so the smile the man showed was rare. Wiesel wonders what world he was in where he saw the smile. He wasn't in a camp where there was death everyday, yet he wasn't in a world full of peace either. Wiesel says that he wouldn't forget that smile. This could mean that he would always keep that smile with him when he was in a hard time.
