Quote
My quote in the book Night by Elie Wiesel was about Elie not believing in his religion and god anymore."Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky.
Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever.
Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never" (32). This is connected to his conflict because he is learning that the in humane things he had to go through taught him that there is no God because he wouldn't allow this type of torture and behavior. He uses a lot of imagery in this passage and also personification. It really captures the meaning of what you are trying to see in this situation.

Author's purpose
Poem
But couldn't stop the memoirs.
They struggled and fought,
And saw many things that were usually taught.
