What are three examples of foreshadowing in sections 1 and 2 of Night by Elie Wiesel?

Foreshadowing is used frequently in Elie Wiesel’s
autobiographical novel Night, and it is especially noticeable to
anyone who has read the book more than once.

Almost
immediately, in section 1, the narrator mentions that as a young boy he “believed
profoundly,” thus ironically foreshadowing his later religious doubts.  Likewise, within
the first page or so the boy mentions that he used to weep when he prayed. When asked
why, he replied that “something inside of me . . . felt the need for tears” – words that
will seem all the more meaningful in light of the tragic and pitiful events the book
later describes.

At one point in section 1 a mentor of the
narrator tells the narrator that

“Man raises himself toward God by the questions
he asks Him . . . . That is the true dialogue. Man questions God and God answers. But we
don’t understand his answers. We can’t understand them. . .
.”

This passage is obviously
relevant to the book’s later emphasis on asking difficult questions of God and of being
uncertain about the answers provided, if any.

However, one
of the passages in section 1 that is most disturbing in its use of foreshadowing is a
passage in which the narrator mentions a group of foreign Jews who were expelled from
his native village:

Crammed into
cattle trains by Hungarian police, they wept
bitterly. We stood on the platform and wept too. The
train disappeared on the horizon; it left nothing
behind but its thick, dirty smoke. [emphasis
added]

All the words and
phrases emphasized here provide grim and eerie foreshadowing of later sections of the
book.

A passage in section 2 foreshadowed by some of the
passages already quoted (and in turn foreshadowing later passages) is this one, prompted
by the narrator’s personal experiences in a concentration
camp:

Some
talked of of God, of his mysterious ways, of the sins of the Jewish people, and of their
future deliverance. But I had ceased to pray. How I sympathized with Job! I did not deny
God’s existence, but I doubted His absolute
justice.

Earlier the boy had
been told that God’s answers are not entirely clear; now he has good reason to think so
himself.

As a younger boy, the narrator had indeed prayed;
now he doesn’t.  As a younger boy, the narrator had been told that God was mysterious;
now he is confronted personally with one of the most mysterious aspects of God: his
apparent tolerance of earthly evil.

Wiesel's book is tied
together by many passages that foreshadow others and that in turn recall passages from
earlier in the work.
