Quote 1
"Why did i pray? A strange question. Why did I live? Why did I breath?" (Wiesel 14)
Doubt is easily noticed in this quote because the character is thinking to himself. He was asked a question about himself that he didn't quite know the answer to therefor he asked it again in his head. Someone asked why he cried while he prayed and he answered "i don't know why", again because he was unsure of himself. He felt disturbed and ill because he had never known why he wept while he prayed. All he knew was that something inside of him had the need for tears, and that was why he cried. I think that this character had something wrong in his first couple years of life that gave him the need to cry while he prayed or even pray in the first place. Dun Dun Dun DUNN !!!
Quote 2
"With every groan of the wheels of the rail, we felt that an abyss was about to open beneath our bodies" (Wiesel 34)
Forshadowing pain and suffering later on in the novel, this quote reveals the awakward death everyone is feeling on the train. The passangers feel that since one lady is going insane that maybe sooner or later they will all go insane. And they feel pity for the poor old lady and her young boy that are terrified on this trian while eveyone else is just chilling. I feel that the passengers are all keeping to themselfs until one of them blows up or something to cause a turning point in this novel :o

Really good word choices. Just make sure you watch your spelling
I like the dramatic words at the end of the first paragraph. Great choice words.
I like the way you described the first quote, but you spelled some things wrong, but you did a good job anyways. (:
