In the book "Night," there was a part when Wiesel's father was slapped by gypsy. Having witnessed such violence, Wiesel did not do anything. He stood there and kept silent. He was shocked and petrified with what had happened. That was his reaction.

Wiesel is shocked by his reaction to his father being struck with such force that he is knocked down.

Wiesel says, "I stood petrified. What had happened to me?" While the violence of the slap from the Gypsy scares him, his lack of action surprises him even more. He thinks that if his father had been struck before they were moved from Sighet, he would attack the person. He says he "would have dug [his] nails into this criminal's flesh." This event shows how the imprisonment and the abuse the Jews faced in the camps changed them. This event can also be used to show why the Jews were too afraid to revolt while in the camps.

I would think it is to communicate Jen’s anxiety because she seems scared and she’s talking in short sentences like she is trying to gather her thoughts because she’s nervous.

Comparison between mathemagician and king azaz

Mazyrski [523]

Hey there!
I take it we're talking about The Phantom Tollbooth.
In this story, the two Kingdoms- Digitopolis and Dictionopolis, ruled by the Mathemagician and King Azaz, are not at peace.
The Mathemagician believes that numbers are better than words, and Azaz thinks otherwise, and they refuse to talk with each other.
However, they both are the same in one aspect because they both agree on something, and that is that they always will agree that they always will disagree with each other.
Also, towards the end of the book (no spoilers!) they begin to realize the true meaning of working together to save the day.
Hope this helps
