What is the irony in this passage: "Unable to still our anguish, we tried to reassure each other. 'She is mad, poor woman.' Someone had placed a damp rag on her forehead. But she nevertheless continued to scream. Her little boy was crying, clinging to her skirt and trying to hold her hand: 'It's nothing Mother. There's nothing there....please sit down.' She continued to scream and sob fitfully."

• The woman is referred to as "poor" when she actually has a lot of money back home

• The boy is trying to parent the adult in this situation, but he cannot calm her down

• They place a rag on her forehead to calm her down, but it does nothing

What is the effect of the personification given in these lines: "Our nerves had reached a breaking point. Our very skin was aching. It was as though madness had infected all of us. The heat, the thirst, the stench, the lack of air, were suffocating us."

• The personification suggests that since they are all being transported in cattle cars, that the treatment of animals should be better, that the unbearable conditions should lead to improvements for animals.

• The personification creates a sense of calm and tranquility in the midst of terror.

• The personification intensifies the emotional impact and conveys a sense of collective suffering and losing control.

Answer the question that follows: "Around eleven o' clock, the train began to move again. We pressed against the windows. A quarter of an hour later, it began to slow down even more. Through the windows, we saw barbed wire and we understood that this was the camp." The only description we receive of the camp is that there is barbed wire, what does this mean for the Jews?

• Barbed wire is used to contain animals, so they have arrived at a farm

• This is a haunted house, the barbed wire is there to add to the eerie effect

• This is some sort of prison, barbed wire prevents people from escaping
