To answer these questions, you will need to read and analyze the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel. Each question requires an understanding of the story and its themes. Here is an explanation of how to approach each question:
11. To understand how Moishe the Beadle’s experience in the Galician forest changes him, you should focus on the specific events and interactions Moishe goes through. Look for evidence of how his perspective, beliefs, or personality shift as a result. Pay attention to the emotional impact of his experiences and how they shape his outlook on life.
12. To identify the irony of Elie’s and his neighbors' joy in leaving the hot ghetto, analyze the reasons behind their excitement. Consider the broader context of the Holocaust and the fate that awaits them. Look for contradictions between their expectations and the harsh reality they will soon face. Examine the contrast between their initial joy and the ultimate tragedy that unfolds.
13. To understand what the cries of Mrs. Schachter in the cattle car foreshadow, closely examine the events surrounding her outbursts. Look for symbolic elements and connections to future events. Consider how her screams might represent a larger warning or prediction. Pay attention to any recurring motifs or themes that emerge from her cries.
14. To identify the irony of Elie’s feelings when he hears bombs, analyze his emotional response and compare it to the context in which the bombs are falling. Consider the dual nature of the situation and any contradictory feelings Elie experiences. Look for symbolism or deeper meanings behind his reactions, as they may reveal some underlying themes in the book.

To comprehend why the author compares the two cauldrons of unattended soup to lambs during the bomb alert, and who the hundreds of wolves might be, analyze the specific scene and its surrounding events. Look for symbolic interpretations of the cauldrons and the wolves. Consider how the chaos and danger of the bomb alert contribute to the author's metaphorical comparison. Look for any deeper meanings or social commentary in these comparisons.
