I need help finding two quotations from the book Night by Elie Wiesel that show how his character changes throughout the book after being in the Auschwitz camp I would like to do it about how he loses his faith after being there. One quotation has to be from this paragraph and the other one has to be from chapter one.

2-Chunk paragraph comparing Elie's character prior to entering Auschwitz to how he behaved once he became a prisoner.

Another time we had to load Diesel engines onto trains supervised by German soldiers. Idek's nerves were on edge. He was restraining himself with great difficulty. Suddenly, his frenzy broke out. The victim was my father.

"You lazy old devil!" Idek began to yell. "Do you call that work?"

And he began to beat him with an iron bar. At first my father crouched under the blows, then he broke in two, like a dry tree struck by lightning, and collapsed.

I had watched the whole scene without moving. I kept quiet. In fact I was thinking of how to get father away so that I would not be hit myself. What is more, any anger I felt at that moment was directed, not against the Kapo, but against my father. I was angry with him, for not knowing how to avoid Idek's outbreak. That is what concentration camp life had made of me... (Weisel 54).
