Explanation:

The mood of the story foreshadows that bad things will happen. At first, the mood is dark and scary outside the house but cheerful inside the house.

“Around me everything was dancing a dance of death.”

sesenic [268]

Answer:

"Around me everything was dancing a dance of death" is a "personification" when it comes to figurative language. It means that people around Elie Wiesel were dying and nobody paid attention nor cared.

Explanation:

The situation above happened during "Night 84."

At this time, Elie was exhausted from marching in the snow that he fell asleep for a long time when they were finally told to rest. He was only awakened when his father's frozen fingers patted on his cheeks. His father wanted him to wake up because they were to march again. Sleeping would mean dying in the snow. Thus, Elie described the situation happening around him with the figurative language above. It is a personification because it gives human being personality to "death" that it can dance ("dance of death").
