Quote Analysis Section 5/6

Quote 1
"In three days I shall no longer be here.... Say the Kaddish for me"(Wiesel 83).

Analysis
I think Akiba Drumer said because he wanted Elie to know about the execution that was happening. He wanted him to do the speech for him and his friends to feel special since he asked them. They gathered at the service and said the Kaddish together before Drumer went to the chambers.


Quote 2
"Don't let yourself be overcome by sleep, Eliezer. It's dangerous to fall asleep in the snow. You might sleep for good. Come on, come one. Get up"(Wiesel 94).

Analysis
Eliezer's father said this because he didn't want to see his son to die because he was the only one with him. He wouldn't want to see his son die in the snow. He's the only family member he had with him. It's sad to think that they had to walk in the snow and not one person noticed it.
