"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.

I really like the quotes you used, heck, the first one is part of one I used to! The analysises (analysisi?) are really in depth and good, but may I suggest a different quote in the future? The second quote is a little hard to analysize, as it is kind fo self-explanitory.
Good job, though,.
