"All the earth and the Universe are God's!" (Wiesel 74).
To the people at the concentration camps they thought that god was made up of the whol earth and the whole universe. Also they were saying that the earth and universe belonged to god in a sense. It is saying that all the Jews that are in a concentration camp right now belong to god and he will not let them die and he will help them escape alive.
"I was dragging with me this skeletal body which weighed so much. If only I could've got rid of it!" (Wiesel 91).
Elie had been walking for a long time to try to survive and he had felt like he was dragging something really heavy behind him but he wasn't. It was just the strain and the stress on his legs that made him feel like that. He wanted to get rid of it by just quit walking and lay down so the others could trample over his body in agony and pain.

Night Quote anaylsis section 3
"We've got to do something. We can't let ourselves be killed. We can't go like beasts to the slaughter. We've got to revolt" (Wiesel 40).
This is happening when they are at Auschwitz and they are being beaten. In order to dtay alive they have to do something like let people know about what is happening. They can't just stand there waiting to die like nothing is happening or is going to happen.
"Let the world learn of the existence of Auschwitz. Let everybody hear about it, while they can still escape...." (Wiesel 40).
The Jews would like to tell everyone that this concentrarion camp exists and it is very brutal and that it kills a lot of people everyday. They also want to tell people that is not safe here before they decide to come here not knowing what it will be like at this concentration camp.

section 1 and 2 Night Quote analysis
"But our hearts were not in it. Our hearts had been beating more rapidly for some days" (Wiesel 20).
In the story it shows how hard they worked to hopefully not get shot or killed somehow. Also it could mean that the Jews are very scared that they will die or get split apart from their family or die while trying to support the family. There hearts were not really doing anything other than beating faster day after day trying to keep up with all the physical labor that the Jews are put through.
"If anyone is missing, you'll all be shot like dogs" (Wiesel 33).
If anyone leaves the train cart then the will be shot in packs just like dogs would be because they always travel in packs most of the time. Also there is one person in charge and if anyone leaves that person will get shot first and then the rest of them will get shot afterword. I think it is a bad idea to shoot everyone if one person is missing from the cart because I thought they were mostly using the Jews for labor workers. It doesn't make sense to me.
