I believe these parts provide direct characterization: "<span>Endowed with commonsense, as massive and hard as blocks of granite, fastened together by stern rigidity of purpose, as with iron clamps, he followed out his original design, probably without so much as imagining an objection to it."
The writer clearly and directly describes the character's personal features, as well as his internal motivation for an action. It is opposed to indirect characterization, where we can grasp the character's traits or motivation through his/her actions or speech.</span>

2nd question: The first symbol that we can recognize when we are analyzing this Novel is a symbol of the title. The Night is symbolizing the death of an innocent, death of childhood, death and the end of faith, death of many people, death and the end of possible miracles. Since they lost their faith in God, the night also means a world without God and faith because they are representing brightness.''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.'' b)The second symbol is fire and flames of it. They are representing hell and tool for punishing them which brought them to losing his faith. ''Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever.''
